Mo 7/30/18

Up 730am; fierce and intense storms last night- downstairs still water-tight; sixties to barely seventy. For the end of July in Illinois, these are amazing temperatures.

Watched 'DARK PLACES' (Netflix) I had seen this one before, but forgot how good it was; Charlize Theron, and the guy that was the addict congressman on HOUSE OF CARDS. Later, I found out the book for the film was written by the same author that did, 'GONE GIRL', so I reserved the new one, 'SHARP OBJECTS' as an e-book from the library.

1130am- Finished, 'NIGHT SCHOOL' and began 'STAY CLOSE'- Harlan Coben.

2pm drove to FitClub South. Various texts from the Brandenburgs- they arrived at Elsie's about 3pm, Phoenix Time.
45" Best Cross (Alabama Shakes (Amazon Music). 45" Walk (last episode Season III, 'THE WIRE'). 45" Recumbent Bike (read/ Adrian Belew (Amazon Music). 45" Cross (THE WIRE). 30" Walk (finished Season III/ interview Betty Gilpin).
Steam/ Whirlpool/ Pool....felt nice.
Home to read more Coben downstairs, drank a cup of instant/ STEREOLAB.

'STRAY BULLET' (Netflix). A young girl in Paterson, NJ is killed by a stray bullet in a gang shootout, but it takes almost 2 years to get to trial, and the prosecution's case is weak. The best 'reveal' of the documentary is that these crime ridden, low income areas have the most police presence, yet they are the most unsafe for the people that have to live there. It's obvious that the current police strategy is far off the mark- or it's right on target to feed The Prison Industrial Complex.
A Netflix doc about the Canadian Syrup Industry, 'DIRTY MONEY'. Many Canadian syrup producers feel that their price support system isn't working.

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...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. 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).
