sound of music movie

 in the afternoon i went to see the movie 'sound of music' in Eagan. i liked how i managed to make it through a three-hour movie without a bathroom break. i had one just before in and just after it. i don't think i had seen a movie this long before, let alone in theaters. a coworker kept telling me to see it and i am thankful i did and seeing it in theaters for its 60th anniversary was the best game plan. i laughed, i cried, it was a carefree movie for a while. then the intermission happened, and the nazi part was in the second half. good thing i stayed in my seat when i said 'intermission' on the screen as this interlude didn't last long. i had sang some of those songs in music class in elementary school. it was mentioned on 'big bang theory' twice. even the first episode of 'the nanny' reminded me of it, as a rich man hires a nanny and the hired help understood the kids better than the dad did. this included the dad having a hard time accepting that the eldest daughter was already dating. in the case of this movie, it was actually a governess instead of a nanny. actually, i called an audible on what screening i attended. i went to Jersey Mike's for lunch, and i knew i wasn't quite going to make it to a screening at another theater in time. seeing it in another town more than an hour later worked out just fine. i went home and watched some pro football before i left for the theater again. i think this was the first time i had been to that sandwich shop on a Sunday, and there were four football games on at the same time on their TV near the main door. i had just enough time before the movie to get to the nearby dairy queen and i got a pumpkin pie blizzard treat.
