Sa 3/24/18

Up 545am; Gray, wet, cold and rainy all day- to high 30's.

Wrote up THE BURNING GIRL for the blog. 

Watching 'SHERLOCK HOLMES' (Robert Downey, Jr./ Jude Law) on Xfinity. The overwhelming objection to this film was that it was not true to 'the real' Sherlock Holmes. The famous detective was more of a cerebral fellow, and the naysayers feel that it's wrong to portray him and Watson as 'action figures'. I can see what they mean, but I think that Guy Ritchie makes it work. I really liked the film, and it was good enough to forgive the excessive length. 

To Amazon Prime for, 'BILL FRISELL, A PORTRAIT' (1115am) Two hours of musical bliss- He's as in awe of his stupendous musicality as his fans. 

PK Dick's- 'The Commuter', #9

To Wabash PO and Planet Fitness; 2pm.
45" Walk (3.6/0- ankle still a factor, but not so much). 45" Recumbent Bike (new novel; by the SNOWS OF CAMILLA guy). 45" Cross. 30" Recumbent Bike (read/ Judge Judy). 30" Cross.

Home to soak and read more and listen to a tape of Robert E. Keen, Houston singer/ songwriter.

Amazon Prime, 'PKD's ELECTRIC DREAMS'- 'The Commuter'. Timothy Spall plays a railroad worker who learns of a town on the line that doesn't really exist. In this reality, his disturbed son doesn't exist- he rejects it. Then CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM- 'the smoking jacket like Hugh Hefner's'.

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...
