Mo 3/25/19

Up 710am; overcast early to partly cloudy- 40's.

Wrote up some notes for 'THE SILENT COMPANIONS'.

Watched 'ALOHA' (Xfinity- Sony Crackle) A kind of uneven mix of dopey romanticism and clever dialogue, yet still a very pleasant romantic comedy set in Hawaii; with Bradley Cooper/ Emma Stone/ Rachel McAdams/ Danny McBride/ and Bill Murray. Bill Murray plays a billionaire who tries to 'capture the skies', and Bradley Cooper is a private contractor who regains his soul.

Then, 'THE SENTENCE' (Xfinity- HBO)  A mind blowing expose on the 'mandatory sentencing laws'. Because Cindy Shank was the girlfriend of a drug dealer and knew of his illegal activities, she was tried and sentenced under conspiracy statutes. She wasn't arrested for conspiracy until six years after the initial arrest, and she got a fifteen year sentence. She received  clemency from the Obama administration after nine years.

"Prison is the place for people that we are afraid of, not for people that we are mad at".

110pm: to FitClub West
45" Octane (Adrian Belew Trio- Amazon Music). 45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

Home for a cup of instant and read 'THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE' downstairs; SUGAR-'Copper Blue'/ MONKS OF DOOM- 'Forgery'.
In the tub with more F. Scott and 'Sentimental Hygiene'- Warren Zevon.

'THE BROOKLYN BANKER' (Amazon Prime) Paul Sorvino.     A local crime boss in Brooklyn, NY- 1973 lures a bank manager with uncanny memory skills into The Organization. An accurate depiction of the Italian hoods, but the storyline is not at all compelling.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...
