Sa 1/26/19
Up 6am; very cold with snow showers beginning later this morning. Less than one inch predicted and temps only to low twenties.
Wrote up 'THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME' by Mark Haddon for the blog.
Watched Netflix disc, 'SLENDER MAN' Four high school girlfriends watch a video that allows them to call up 'Slender Man'. They become entrapped by this entity- a faceless spirit that steals young people and has been around in numerous cultures since the dawn of time; a very interesting soundscape.
Then, 'LIMEY' Terrance Stamp plays a very English ex-con (he sometimes uses Cockney rhyming slang) who comes to LA to investigate the death of his daughter. She was supposed to have died in a car accident, but he isn't buying it. His daughter had been working for a shady record company mogul (played by Peter Fonda) who killed her accidentally when she threatened to turn him in to the police. Stamp murders a slew of bad guys in search of the answer, but the film is more about relationships that straight up violence- this is NOT a Charles Bronson film; directed by Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh uses footage from Stamp's early films to portray the young Stamp in this movie. A classic idea!
Watched about half of a sixty minute documentary about the making of Pink Floyd's album, 'WISH YOU WERE HERE'. Loaded some of their albums on my Amazon Music, but this album was not available.
1240pm- Downtown to mail the disc, and on to FitClub South; on the machines 105pm.
45" Precor (AMERICAN BEAUTY). 45" Recumbent. 45" Walk (MONEY HEIST). 45" Precor (twice today). 30" Bike (TV).
Stopped at the County Market on south sixth for three boxes of dirty rice for a buck a pop.
Home to do the laundry and empty the cat box.
'THE SQUID AND THE WHALE' (Amazon Prime) Laura Linney and Jeff Daniels are two writers and they're getting a divorce in Brooklyn, 1989. They have two sons, and Jesse Eisenberg is one of them- cheating, custody, and who is the better writer- Mom or Dad? is the moral of the story. Not bad. Eisenberg is in a talent show and plays a song on guitar that he says he wrote- he stole it from Pink Floyd. Listened to them during the workout today.
The Canadian documentary series 'STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE', but turned it off and ate the last bowl upstairs while reading 'EXIT WOUNDS'. In bed by 9pm.
