Sa 2/10/18

Up 640am; Just a light dusting of snow last night; 20" and snow still in the forecast for tonight, but only about an inch.

Netflix disc, PARIS CAN WAIT (745am). Very well-done romantic film- the countryside, food, and history of France are very much characters in the film. The director is the wife of Francis Ford Coppola, Eleanor Coppola: Strangely uplifting. 

Trouble downloading I DREAMED I WAS A VERY CLEAN TRAMP from the library. Then, I reinstalled the app, logged in, and OKEY-DOKEY- I got it!

Watched a 23" short on Netflix called, THE TRADER. Traveling salesman barters used merchandise for potatoes in the poverty stricken areas of Tbilisi, Russia. Very Good!

Then the first episode of ABSENTIA (Amazon Prime) 1130am. Female FBI agent has been held captive by a serial killer for six years, but maybe not; readjustment problems. 

To County Market pharmacy- $15 for the pills, she said I had another refill, but I don't think so, and then Planet Fitness. 145pm on the machines.

50" Walk (dropped back to 3.6/0- sore right ankle). 45" Recumbent Bike (I DREAMED I WAS A VERY CLEAN TRAMP; parts of this seem very familiar. I've either read it, or have read reviews). 45" Cross. 45" Bike (read/ Judge Judy- yeah! on a Saturday!). 30" Cross.

Home to listen to the GREAT LOST KINKS ALBUM/ soak/ read more 'Tramp'.

Netflix SUNLIGHT JR.(Naomi Watts/ Matt Dillon). I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. J. Mascis does the music!!! The film tries to showcase real people on the bottom of the wage scale trying to get by- Sunlight Jr. is just one of a million minimum wage jobs/ 7/11 or any of the others. And, when you add a pregnancy, it shows that 'safety net' is a cruel and rotten joke. Fuck Bravo, why aren't there more TV series and films about people that really need the scrutiny and understanding.

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...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
