Su 10/7/18-WHITE ELEPHANT/ WHITE BEAR
Su 10/7/18
Up 730am; cloudy and cool; rain to begin this afternoon- 60's to upper 70's.
Watched Netflix disc, 'WHITE ELEPHANT' Set in the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina two priests try to make a difference, but feuds between the political establishment, the church, drug lords, gangs, and local contractors make their task nearly impossible. Very good.
Then, my favorite episode of 'BLACK MIRROR' called 'WHITE BEAR'. Young woman awakes and doesn't know who she is or why people are videotaping her. She meets some strange companions who also seem to be on the run and they convince her to destroy a radio transmitter- White Bear- to 'stop the signals'. It's really all an illusion, and she's actually on a television program originating at 'White Bear Justice Park'. She and her boyfriend kidnapped a little girl, murdered her, and burned the body- he did the killing while she filmed it on her phone. This 'Reality Show' is her sentence, and after each experience, her memory is cleared, and she's set up for another terrifying exposure. 'BLACK MIRROR' is vastly superior to PHILIP K. DICK'S ELECTRIC DREAMS- not even in the same cosmic ballpark.
1pm- the weekly cleaning; Put off the packing, although I do have a fairly comprehensive list.
To FitClub about 215pm. I drove but it was a sunny afternoon, however we got hit with a major downpour around 5pm- streets were flooded!
45" Octane (John Mellencamp/ THE MELVINS). 45" Walk (Reality TV all day- '90 Day Romance'). 45" Cross.
30" Bike (TV off during storm....Thank-you Direct TV...Watched an episode of IN TREATMENT). 30" Cross.
Home to soak/ RED RED MEAT/ 'THE CAMEL CLUB'
Another 'ATYPICAL'. PC squirrely....not connecting to internet; 'cable disconnected', familiar with this bullshit and 'unplugged/ replugged' the WiFi card. Works great.
Then, a 'FOLLOW THIS'- Rehab Tourism (Netflix). This one was about people going to Mexico try to cure that addiction with therapies that were not sanctioned in the US- but..... 'Ibogaine'?? Then another called, 'TECH ADDICT'- people on their phones too much and what that might mean- kinda unclear. When mass- marketed (cheap) books came out were 'we' worried about too much reading? When radio came out were 'we' worried about too much listening. Of course we were..... Then, 'A STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE' (Amazon Prime). Canadian series about a guy that was accused of something he didn't do.
