taking off movie

 in the early evening i went to a movie at the Trylon cinema, it was 'taking off'. i liked how i recognized some of the actors in it. this included Bentley from 'the Jeffersons' and Mrs. Roper from 'threes company'. even a young Kathy Bates was in it. but credited as 'bobo bates'. it served as a reminder of what my dad once said when i was watching a movie with him and knew the actor by the voice before seeing a face. usually, the one thing that doesn't change is a person's voice. the voices of those two actors that i knew from sitcoms were still familiar to me. a big part of the storyline was the parents of runaway teenagers sampling youth culture, as a 'support group'. this led to a 'strip poker' scene. this was my 17th visit to this non-profit cinema for the calendar year. when i picked up my ticket i was told there is a patron who visits more often than i do, apparently one who is there every weekend. i had some popcorn and a can of 7-up, using up some quarters, five dollars in all. after being home for a little while after the movie, i ordered another ticket so i will be back at this cinema next month. it was the only thing on the docket for the day, and it was just as well due to the snowstorm. sounds like there was a winter storm warning in effect, 'travel not advised' is what i kept hearing on the radio, but getting around in town wasn't too big of a deal. on the open road, that probably would have been a different story, as i could see some blowing snow on the pavement. in the early afternoon i did venture out a little, needed gas so i went to a speedway gas station. then i dropped off some recycle near the capitol. i tried to watch the Sunday night football game when i got back from the movie, bears-49ers, but i fell asleep. the bears lost. i also did the dishes.
