Sa 12/29/18

Up 620am;  cloudy, cold- temps only in the 20's.

While updating the blog I watched a bunch of videos of Ellie Kemper on The Late Show With Craig Ferguson.

I started to play the Netflix disc about the beginnings of Facebook, but the disc was cracked. I switched to the other Netflix disc, 'THE WAY HE LOOKS'. Set in San Paulo, Brazil the film concerns a blind high school student and his awakening gay sensuality. He finds himself attracted to the new boy in school, and his best friend, who's a girl, feels abandoned; Not bad and well worth a look. Featured songs: "too much love"- belle and sebastian, "start a war"- the national.

Then 'MAPS TO THE STARS' (Netflix) Julianne Moore/ John Cusack/ Mia Wasikowska; Directed by David Lynch. Too intentionally odd to be an ordinary drama, and too melodramatic to be a spoof or a satire, but most definitely has the 'other-worldly strangeness' of a classic David Lynch film.

A minister knocked on the door, and I learned that the bell no longer works. The guy had guts, and I'll bet that he had very view people who invited him in to chat about the lord.

120pm to Planet Fitness/ Wabash PO/ Fairhills County Market.

45" Walk (PINE GAP- new series on Netflix). 45" Recumbent Bike (began THE LAST TESTAMENT OF THE HOLY BIBLE- James Frey; Kindle). 45" Cross (PINE GAP). 45" Bike (read/ PINE GAP). 30" Cross (UNBREAKABLE).

Stopped at Fairhills/ $52, and into the tub to finish FORTUNE'S ROCKS and listen to Yo La Tengo.

BLACK MIRROR- BANDERSNATCH (Netflix). Early 80's computer game programmer is locked into an alternative time continuum because he feels that he killed him mother. He was five years old, looking for his stuffed rabbit, and his mother took a later train. This train derailed, she was killed, and his universe has changed.  Years later he's trying to perfect a computer game and he suspects that 'the future' is in control....."You are watching on Netflix.....What's that"? Not a bad show and very engaging.
Another 'CUCKOO' (Netflix)...not so engaging....

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).
