Th 2/28/19

Up 645am; overcast and thirties.

Watched 'LITTLE FISH' (Amazon Prime) Cate Blanchett plays a recovering heroin addict who manages a video store. She wants a bank loan to expand the store into Internet gaming, but she can't get a bank loan due to no collateral. Her dysfunctional friends and family try to help, but only cause further grief. A very dark and brooding character study with excellent ensemble acting; with Sam Neill/ Hugo Weaving.

Ordered a couple of books from Amazon and wasted a huge amount of time with 'eBooksNow' trying to download 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine'. It was only four ninety-nine, but the process was impossible. I couldn't get it into the Kindle account and I've emailed a couple of messages to cancel, but so far have heard nada.

Watched a short film on Netflix called 'GRASS'  Cam and Jinky are supposed to deliver a backpack of weed, but convince themselves that it would be much better to spend the day in the park getting stoned; Not bad

More screwing around when I tried to cancel the charge on Visa's end. Can't do it until it goes out of 'pending'.  Got an email from 'eBooksNow' saying that they can't refund, but they'll help me. I replied that I'd wasted enough time today, but tomorrow I'd try it again....with their fucking help.

It's almost 2pm and I feel like I've wasted the entire day.


230pm on the machines at Planet Fitness. 45" Walk (MR. ROBOT). 45" Recumbent Bike (Robot/ read 'THE BONE TREE). 45" Cross (MR. ROBOT). 30" Walk (Robot/ Amazon Music). 30" Cross (UNBREAKABLE).

Home to soak and listen to a compilation tape from Huh! Magazine and read more of Iles.

'TRESPASS AGAINST US' (Netflix)- Brendan Gleeson/ Michael Fassbender.  A gypsy criminal group lives in trailers in remote rural England near the very rich gentry class. They break-in, rob and steal, and taunt the local police.  A father wants his children to live a different life from the criminal clan, but his patriarch father maintains a medieval world-view (flat earth, creatishism, and a deep distrust of education), and the old man wants his extended family to continue in the old ways.; worth a look.
