Th 9/21/17

Last night I watched VINCENT N ROXXY. Kind of a B-Movie affair, and it didn't get very good reviews, but I was satisfied. Set in Zachary, LA- about thirty miles north of Baton Rouge, and the action was quite bloody, but the actors were not up to snuff. In places, it reminded me what it would sound like if toddlers recited the lines of CASINO. 

Up 545am and read MARIETTE  IN ECSTASY around 4am. Molten heat and humidity- very sticky and temps to mid 90's. Watched Jennifer Lopez in a melodrama about the hundreds of women that have been killed or 'disappeared' along the border with Mexico at Juarez/El Paso after NAFTA. The foreign series was so much better, but this one was worth a look.  

At 10am I got the call from Dick Van Dyke and the clerk said that a tech would be at the house between 2pm and 5pm. I drove to Planet Fitness and was on the machines at 1030am. 45" Walk. 3.8/0 (movin' right along). 45" Recumbent Bike (Began IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND on Kindle). 45" Cross. 30" Bike. 30" Cross. Apprehensive about the 'new and improved' Republican plan to ditch Affordable Care- it shouldn't affect me, but it will destroy the health care system just so those assholes can say that they got rid of Obamacare. Silver Sneakers is my primary concern.  

Home right at 2pm and while I was in the shower I got the call from the tech saying that he should be along within the hour- and he was. $800 plus for a new motherboard, and if that doesn't do it, I can't sell it back to them. The stuff I've got is 'top of the line' and six grand to replace. In for a penny, in for a fucking pound. 

He was gone in 45" and I got in the car and went to the dollar store. New queen sized sheets (Black Is Back), vitamins, incense, toothpaste, and a new strainer for the kitchen sink- only a dollar, and had I know, the greasy, poxy old one would have been in the trash months ago.

Downstairs to listen to tapes and read- finished MARIETTE IN ECSTASY and read more of IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND. 1'30". Netflix disc CITY OF GOLD tonight.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...
