Fr 7/20/18

Up 650am; sunny, breezy, to mid 80's.

Watched Netflix disc, 'A CURE FOR WELLNESS'; (2HRS 26") Not bad, but probably would have been a bit better with a bit of an edit. The film owes a huge debt to the vision of Stanley Kubrick, and while watching 'Wellness' you can't help but remember the stylistic inventions of, 'EYES WIDE SHUT' and 'THE SHINING'.

Just before I took a look at The Extras (weren't worth watching), I hooked up the new deck. Had it up and running in less than ten minutes. 

Pulled some weeds in the back garden.
Reading and listening to Miles on the new deck; 1245pm.

230pm on the bike to LA Fitness. I asked a security guy in a car at the mall if he knew of a mailbox...he didn't. Dropped it in the box next to the battery shop; that's a hassle.
45" Walk (RAY DONOVAN). 45" Recumbent Bike (THE FLOATING WORLD/ 'TV On The Radio'). 45" Cross (DEADWOOD). 45" Bike (DEADWOOD/ LOVE). 15" Walk (LOVE).
Home to soak/ read/ 'STICKY FINGERS'; 'THE INNER MOUNTING FLAME').

Will watch an episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE' on the PC downstairs. 

 A major hassle trying to update Flash to work with Xfinity. I wonder if I'll have to do the same thing when I try to connect on the upstairs PC. However, the quality has increased ten fold- it's really superior!

 1) At 'Secure' in the upper left click 'Allow'; expect a 'fuck-around'.

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).
