Mo 9/3/18- Labor Day

Didn't get up till 10am- an extra beer last night. Partly sunny, very hot, and over 90 before noon. The 'AC' will remain 'ON' today and tomorrow.

Made sure to send a 'Chat Wrap' to The Brandenburgs. I missed last Monday.

Watched 'JOLENE' (Amazon Prime). Based on a short story in the New Yorker magazine by E. L. Doctorow. Jessica Chastain's first major role and it's the story of a young orphan who makes her way in the world through the men that fall under her spell. Not great, but definitely worth a look. A weak point is that her character is supposed to be an artist, yet the 'art' is terribly unconvincing. The guy that plays Peter Quinn in 'HOMELAND' plays a tattoo artist in the film and he looks like a stand-in Johnny Depp.

2pm- reading 'THE NIGHT CLERK', and on the bike to Planet Fitness by 3pm.
Some fuck-head at the four-way top on Iles at the entrance to the mall tried to run me down. He's in a huge pickup and couldn't wait two seconds while I crossed the intersection; and I got there first. 45" Walk (COLD CASE SEX CRIMES). 45" Recumbent Bike (read 'THE NIGHT MANAGER'/ listened to Hoopla- CALEXICO). 45" Cross (HOMELAND). 30" Bike (HOMELAND). 15" Cross (Sam Jones interview with 'Crazy Eyes').
Home to soak and listen to a tape and more LeCarre.

Watched 'STILL CRAZY' (Amazon Prime); a knock-off SPINAL TAP;  Stephen Rhea, Billy Connolly, Timothy Spall and Bill Nighy as 70's rockers who reform their old band

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...
