Th 5/17/18

Reading 'THE SINS OF THE FATHER'; this is one of my few remaining True Crime books. I threw them all away to save room on the shelves, but I still love them every once in a while. 4am-5am reading; up 7am. Mostly sunny to mid to high 80's later.

Made the notes for the blog; 'THE LAST BALLAD' (finished last night)

Netflix disc, 'DOWNSIZING'. A charming, yet dark social satire about Consumerism, Class, Environment, and just about every other social concern. "What kind of fuck you give me?"

Updated Security Essentials and I think I've got the hang of that- using the notes.

Called Springfield States Attorney and verified that my case was dismissed, then wrote an email to CWLP asking why electrical outages occur so frequently on Westview, and then I added to credit card information to the Uber account- I should be good to go.

Reading 'THE SINS OF THE FATHER' at noon. I noticed that there was a chance for rain tomorrow, so I decided to mow the lawn today; 130pm finished mowing, a little raking in the back, and even less trimming all around. Biked to Planet Fitness to drop the disc and workout. On the machines by 150pm.

45" Walk. 3.6/0 (Netflix- 'KALEIDOSCOPE'- an odd film about a man living in an English estate apartment who brings an online date into his home, maybe he kills her, or maybe he kills his mother, or maybe it's just bad, bad storytelling all around. Not very good...) 

While I was watching the film I got a call from a very nice woman from CWLP who told me that they were aware of the power outages in my area and it's because of the squirrels. Didn't want to hear that, but it's possible that I might be able to be put on a different 'circuit'. She's supposed to email the link to the guy that can arrange this.

45" Recumbent Bike (THE SINS OF THE FATHER/ and I noticed that the wifi for the joint wasn't working. This is the first time that I've had that experience at Planet Fitness. Usually the connection is rock solid. When I told the guy, he was clueless but said that they had 'rebooted the system' this morning, but it was supposed to be 'all up and running'. When I left, another guy said that it was still down, but they were aware of the problem. A black teenage girl on the next recumbent was also having trouble with the wifi and I told her it was kaput). 30" Cross (more of the dreadful English film). 30" Recumbent Bike (read) 30" Cross (finished the film).
Home to soak, read more of the True Crime, and listen to Bill Frisell.

 Will finish the last half of INTO THE FOREST. Beautiful setting, Page and Wood are great, yet the story is dull and lackluster. Where the film ends, and they leave the cabin sounds like a much more dramatic story-line.

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...
