Tu 10/23/18

Up 615am; another bright and sunny day to the high fifties.

Watched Netflix disc, 'KNIFE IN THE WATER'. Roman Polanski's debut from 1962. A couple picks up a hitchhiker and they all go for a 24 hour sailboat ride on a Polish lake. The young man falls overboard, the couple can't find him, the older man swims to shore to alert the authorities. In the meantime, the young man swims back to the boat- he had been hiding behind a buoy- has sex with the girl, and they sail back to the starting point. He leaves along the shoreline before they dock, and then the older man meets the girl. She tells him what happened, admits to cheating, but he doesn't seem to believe her about whether the young man is dead or alive or any of her version of the events. The film ends as he stops the car in front of the sign pointing to the police station.

Then, 'I AM INNOCENT'(Netflix) A New Zealand science teacher is charged with indecent assault when I young girl says that he 'rubbed her breasts' when he examined her for tonsillitis. The most shocking aspect of the case was that a witness was present during the examination and he noticed nothing unusual, but criminal charges were still made nearly two years after the incident.

Watched the last hour of 'PASSING THROUGH' (Amazon Prime). About an Art Collective on skid row, downtown Los Angeles.

1pm- Reading 'THE CROCODILE BIRD'; 230pm to Planet Fitness and Wabash PO.
45" Walk (HUMANS). 45" Recumbent Bike (read THE CROCODILE BIRD/ listened to THE ALABAMA SHAKES; Amazon Music). 45" Cross (HUMANS). 45" Bike (began first episode of 'THE DESIGNATED SURVIVOR'). 30" Bike (DESIGNATED SURVIVOR).
Home to soak and listen to a tape of the early Mekons/ more Ruth Rendell.

Watched the first episode of season #2- ' MAKING A MURDERER. I think that the 'blood splatter evidence' expert is a little questionable. Her 'expert' would be negated by another 'expert', but that's not to say that she's not right, but I'm still not convinced that I know what really happened.

Then, 'HIP HOP EVOLUTION' (Netlfix).I guess I like the 'old school' stuff more than I thought.

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...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...
