Tu 7/24/18

Up 740am; another beautiful summer day- 80's and plenty of sun.

Watched 'ENEMIES' (Netflix) Another fine, yet perplexing 'doppelganger' film. A mild-mannered history professor and a third-rate movie actor might be identical?  Maybe it's about living in a dictatorship without being aware of it- the 'web' is invisible. I loved it!

Then, Two episodes of 'QUARRY' (Xfinity) They're an hour a pop, but I can't control myself. I've said it before, but this is my fave series; great writing,  spot-on period costumes, exacting 70's set design, and a terrific Blues- infused Stax/Volt  soundtrack!

2pm on the bike to Planet Fitness. Want to skim at least half of 'THE FLOATING WORLD' to prepare for tomorrow's meeting...did it!
45" Walk (# 1 Record- 'Big Star'). 45" Recumbent Bike (THE FLOATING WORLD/ Henry Threadgill- Amazon Music). 45" Cross (HOMELAND). 45" Bike (read). 30" Cross (HOMELAND).
Home to soak/ listen to Bob Mould/ more 'Floating'.
Watched the last two episodes of ,'ENLIGHTENED' (Amazon Prime); Can't wait to see the next season. 
(Amazon Prime) 'FRANK ZAPPA- THE FREAK OUT LIST'. Zappa and his music are presented in a 'classical composer' context. A clear-case of an artist who consciously chose a 'look' that sabotaged his true work. Had Zappa adopted a less weird persona, he would have been treated differently. If you act the clown, a large portion of the audience will see you as a joke.

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).
