Th 12/27/18
On Xmas Eve the stock market dropped almost 700 points. Yesterday it bounced back, recouping almost all the loss. Early today and for most of the afternoon it dropped six hundred and then closed up by almost three hundred. All of this is because of our 'Commander in Thief'!
Up 645am; windy; gusts over 30mph, rainy (0.40 in. expected)- temps to the low fifties.
Watched 'LETTERS TO JULIET' (Amazon Prime) A very sweet and romantic 'road picture' set in the wine county of north central Italy- with Vanessa Redgrave and some 'pretty people'. A young NYC journalist assists the women of Verona who answer 'Love Letters To Juliet' in Verona, Italy (Based on the true story of 'The Secretaries of Juliet'). She locates a letter that had been undetected for fifty years, and she manages to reunite these two star-crossed lovers, and then manages to fall in love with the old woman's grandson. Not as gooey as it sounds, but close. I liked it.
Then 'THE PEACEMAKER' (Amazon Prime) Nicole Kidman/ George Clooney. Ten nuclear bombs are hijacked in Russia, and one nuclear device ends up in downtown Manhattan. Contains the usual assortment of interesting car chases, pyrotechnics, and fancy driving. Worth a look.
2pm- To LA Fitness
45" Walk (PERFUME- Netflix- not very well done and this will be it for that). 45" Recumbent Bike (Elvis- LOOK OUT; read Anita Shreve). 45" Cross (UNBREAKABLE). 45" Bike (UNBREAKABLE). 30" Cross (UNBREAKABLE- 2 episodes today).
Home to soak another excellent live tape of the Dead from Chris's collection/ more reading).
'I AM VENGEANCE' (Netflix). 'By-The -Numbers' English violent film in the mold of The Charles Bronson Genre . Interesting Observation- A handful of highly trained military men take control of the town's drug operation and begin to run the town. The violent, hard-guy wins.....wow! Then, HARD TIME....two prisoners escape....
