Su 2/4/18

Up 615am; 35 and that's the high for today; to single digits; cloudy.

Watched WONDERSTRUCK. Julianne Moore/ Tom Noonan. Intricate tale of boy trying to find his father; mix of 1927 and 1977 and deaf people. It really shouldn't work, but it's magic; dir. Todd Haynes. 

10am- RED DAWN (1984) Pure American propaganda, but that's what makes it so good....."Avenge Me"!!!!! says Harry Dean Stanton. 

1230pm reading, and it's so cold and gray, I don't even think that I'll open the door all day.
And that's one for the record books....didn't open the door all day. It started snowing about 130pm and we got a trace, but because it was so cold, it all stuck; 1/8". 
I finished SPLIT SECOND, and it was so corny it should have come with a shaker of salt and a pat of butter. A character near the end exclaims, "We've just solved an intricate and complex mystery"! Yeah, you did, but I fucking paid for the privilege. Then, on a whim, I began Truman Capote's first novel, OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS, and I'm already completely blown away. The guy's a master of the language.
In the tub 520pm listening to THE INFIDEL with a 10oz whiskey cooler, and two Ice's. 
A 50" documentary about Stiff on Amazon Prime: IF IT AIN'T' STIFF, IT AIN'T WORTH A FUCK. Oh, boy..... For avid fans only, and that's what I am; 2 drummers throughout/ 'Watching The Detective' was priceless... Then, more of the Amazon Prime bio of Hendrix.

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...

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).
