Fr 5/18/18

Reading early and up by 645am; mostly cloudy and humid, yet cool- to upper 70's and looked like rain, but nada.

Watched Netflix disc, 'THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US'; Idris Elba/ Kate Winslet in a predictable story of two strangers on the side of a mountain due to a plane crash. Yeah, they get together in the end- not terrible, just what you'd expect.

Changed the brightness on the upstairs PC. I can't stand the 'flickering', and I hope that going to 'Normal' intensity will take care of the problem. Seems to work, so far.

Noon reading 'THE SINS OF THE FATHER'. 23pm in the Accord (looked like rain, but didn't happen) to Planet Fitness and the Wabash PO. The problem with the wifi is solved! But, the excellent Hoopla download of the Best of The Dead wouldn't play. Said that I didn't have an Internet connection, but I sure as fuck did! (I uninstalled/ reinstalled Hoopla when I got home, and it works OK here, but can't be sure until I try it elsewhere). 45" Walk 3.6/0 (THE WIRE). 45" Recumbent Bike (THE SINS OF THE FATHER/ TV On The Radio on Google Play- Dead download wouldn't work). 45" Cross (THE WIRE/ HOMELAND). 45" Bike (HOMELAND). 30" Cross (Netflix- English series on True Crime psychopaths).
Home to soak, read more of the Susan Nason Murder and listen to early DeLaSoul).

 The downstairs PC required a very, very long update. It took almost an hour and I think that this has been the problem for the last several days. Things seem to be back to the usual 'speedy normal' that I've come to enjoy. Most of the new stuff seems to be tied to The Edge which I don't use. 

'HANGMAN' Al Pacino on Amazon Prime for tonight.  I think that we're all embarrassed for Al Pacino. He employs a nifty, lazy Southern drawl, but whoever told him that this would be enough to make a successful movie? And, the plot and storyline might even embarrass James Patterson and his team of flunkies.

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...
