Su 12/31/17 New Year's Eve

Up 610am; The Deep Freeze- temps in the high single digits and dropping all day. About a half inch of powdery snow last night, but today it's bright and sunny.

Watched the Netflix disc, MULHOLLAND FALLS. The book based on the screenplay was identical to the film.

I read about the screenwriter, Pete Dexter, who had been a crime reporter who suffered a savage beating due to a 1981 article about a drug deal gone bad. The family didn't like one of their own associated with drugs, and when Dexter met the boy's brother who owned a bar in the Devil's Pocket area of Philadelphia, he was attacked and sustained 'dental devastation'. Dexter later returned with a heavy-weight fighter (this man suffered a broken arm which ended his career) and Dexter suffered a broken back, broken ribs, and head wounds which required 90 stitches and caused brain damage. Baseball bats and crow bars were used in the fight and from that point on, he only wrote fiction and the violence was amplified.

1015am I shoveled and swept the walk and drive.

Watched the next episode of DEADWOOD; read about the town and the real characters that are in the film. 

1215pm- Doing the weekly cleaning, then called Elsie's House and he was in the bathroom. Called later (145pm) and we had our three minute ritual chat. At Planet Fitness 205pm; mailed the disc in the box out front; not even sure if the lobby to the PO was open. 30" Walk. 3.7/0 (ankle was sore last night and I had to use some muscle ointment- seems ok today). 45" Recumbent Bike (Reading CANDY;  began today and it's a junkie love affair set in Melbourne and Sidney Australia). 45" Cross. 30" Bike (read). 30" Cross.
Home to finish THE SCARECROW in the tub and continue with the Luke Davies novel (one hard cider/ one Ice). Will start with another BLACK MIRROR (Netflix)-'Hang The DJ'; Dating Sites of The Future- 'Go  Your Own Way', then, 20" of the Netflix Dave Chappelle Concert- 'Equanimity'.

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...
