Tu 2/12/19
Up 6am; cloudy, windy with occasional morning snow showers- to mid 30's.
Watched Netflix disc, 'WHITE BOY RICK' Richard Wershe Jr.- a man who worked with the feds to bring down some of Detroit's most corrupt cops and politicians, then they let him get sent up for life; Mathew McConaughey/ Jennifer Jason Leigh/ Bruce Dern- and first time actor from Baltimore, Richie Merritt.
Then, 'RUSHMORE' (Xfinity) Wes Anderson directs- not to be confused with Paul Thomas Anderson (I did!). Max Fisher is the kid who could have done anything, but was too busy doing everything; Jason Schwartzman/ Bill Murray/ Brian Cox/ Olivia Williams.
Excellent vintage rock and roll soundtrack!
Watched the other free 'HIGH MAINTENANCE' on Xfinity. Very strange; Two parallel story lines- older pot smoker/ hippie dies in the bathtub and the 'pot salesman' is vacationing in the area and knows the dead guy and attends his wake. Pot salesman meets a girl and they spend the night while old pot smoker's female roommate deals with the loss of her friend.
Signed up for 'Tumblr'; some kind of social networking site.
120 pm- to Wabash PO to mail the disc and on to Planet Fitness for the workout...cold and very windy- forbidding!
45" Walk (ABC MURDERS). 45" Recumbent Bike (MURDERS/ 'THE DECEIVERS'). 45" Cross (THE BANK HEIST). 45" Bike (TV). 30" Cross (TV).
Home to email Janny and Joe that I'd like to meet sometime in the early afternoon- any day that would work for them. They wanted another 'meal in the early evening', and I don't want that.
Downstairs to read more of MacD and listen to Ebeneezer Obey.
In the tub for more reading and I finished the novel. Loved it! Adultery 1958 Style. And listened to Quicksilver's Messenger Service.
'POWER'S WAR' (Amazon Prime) Biggest cowboy shootout in Arizona history- bigger than the OK Corral! The Powers family moves to southeast Arizona to setup a mining operation. WWI breaks out and all young men are to register for the draft. The Powers Brothers say that they didn't start the war or agree to fight in it, so they will not comply. A local sheriff and posse tracks them down. When America ended the First World War it was illegal to publicly say anything against the war effort. The Powers Brothers repel the attack on their cabin, kill three deputies, and flee to Mexico. They are caught and spend forty years in jail before they are finally granted parole. The families of the officers killed prevented any chance of freedom for the brothers for many decades.
Then the last half of 'MCQUEEN'- Fashion designer extraordinaire commits suicide right after his mother dies. His life's work had nothing to do with women's clothing, but more to do with Art....with a capital 'A'. I thought that it was silly as merely 'a clothing line', but works very well as a strikingly original kind of conceptual Art- female form, sculpted fabric, crazy conception, and ATTITUDE.
