Su 7/15/18

Up 7am; muggy and threatening- nothing yet, but rain in the forecast for today and through tomorrow; mid 80's and tres sticky.

Watched Netflix disc, 'INHERENT VICE'; 2 hrs. 28" and I'd seen it before when it first came out (2014), but remembered little. A spoof on the Mystery/ Noir Genre; a hyper-complicated plot with an excellent comedic cast. Paul Thomas Anderson directs a novel by Thomas Pynchon; Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Jena Malone. 'The Golden Fang' is an Asian heroin smuggling operation or 'The Golden Fang' is a collective of dentists. The title refers to a maritime expression that means that 'accidents will happen'- 'THE BIG LEBOWSKI' as told by Raymond Chandler or maybe Jim Thompson.

1145am- biked downtown via Lincoln/ Edwards to drop off the disc at Monroe box, then south thru Lincoln's Home to just north of Allen and west thru park/ south on Douglas/ over to Ash and State (at the corner where I lived in 1975, in the shadow of Jamie's house today) / south across Wabash to trail/ on the machines at Planet Fitness by 115pm. 45" Walk (Penultimate NIGHT MANAGER). 45" Recumbent Bike (Daughter of Fortune). 45" Cross (Amazon Music). 45" Bike (Music). 30" Walk (Sam Jones interview with Bill Hader).
In the tub with The Screaming Blue Messiahs/ BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB)

......The tape player is not playing one side; must be replaced. Works OK for the Cd's. Amazon Prime in the future for the free fucking shipping.

The next BETTER CALL SAUL, and then one more 'ENLIGHTENMENT' ; Laura Dern with Robin Wright.

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...
