Su 12/9/18

Up 730am; bright and sunny with temps to just above freezing.

Listening to Ari Shaffir/ Dave Smith, then watched a Brian DePalma film, 'PASSION' (Amazon Prime). The film is an elegant psychological thriller set in the high-flying European advertising world. A ruthless female manager grabs power not from a man, but but from another woman executive within the organization- an interesting slant.

Then watched 'AN INSPECTOR CALLS' (Amazon Prime). Set in England in 1912, 'a police inspector' visits the home of a wealthy factory owner during his daughter's engagement celebration. He tells the family that a young woman has committed suicide and during the course of his interaction with them,  reveals how they all played a part in her death. The film (based on a play by J.B. Priestly) employs a kind of 'time shift theme' as the suicide hasn't occurred until the inspector leaves the dinner party. The story ends when the family receives a call that a woman has just taken her own life, leading the viewer to believe that the inspector might have been  an angel or a spirit.

115pm did the weekly cleaning and then a workout.
2pm to Planet Fitness. 45" Walk (last of season one- THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE. Christine has embraced the Escort Life; she and a confederate act out a 'jealousy scene' for a client....like nothing else). 45" Recumbent Bike (1983). 45" Cross (season two- THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE). 45" Bike (GFE). 30" Cross (GFE).

Called Elsie's and talked for eleven minutes. Lannie asked me if I went to the Xmas pagent at the church where over a thousand were present. No, I fucking missed that one.

Home to soak/ read more of James Fry/ THE GANG OF FOUR.

A Netflix documentary 'THE AMERICAN MEME'.  Paris Hilton is the titular founder of this phenomenon. Kim Kardashian used to be an intern for Paris Hilton. This social culture is another reason that Trump is president. This is why he Tweets. He is most definitely part of this culture.

The other three Xmas gifts that I ordered from Amazon on Friday afternoon were on the front porch when I got home.
