Su 3/10/19

Up 7am (Daylight Saving Time!)- Partly sunny, breezy, to low 40's.

Dumped 'THE CHEESE STANDS ALONE' to Dropbox; Th 1/17/19 thru Sa 3/9/19.

Downloaded a DESCENDENTS album,'Hypercaffium Spazzinate' from Hoopla.

Watched 'NEW JERSEY DRIVE' (Xfinity)  A believable film of young black men on the mean streets of Newark, NJ. There is absolutely no future for almost all of them, and they're harassed not only by the police, but each other. Stealing cars, joy riding and selling the cars to chop shops for pennies on the dollar is most certainly a no win situation that can only lead to prison or death.

Then, 'ELENA' (Amazon Prime) The film is somewhat a quasi-documentary, but more of an emotional portrait of family and sisterhood. In the late 1980's the director's older sister travelled to NYC from Brazil to become an actress, and after achieving no success she commits suicide. Years later the young sister that was left behind follows the same career path and reflects on the sad legacy of Elena, her older sister.

And finally, the next 'FEARLESS' (Amazon Prime)   Emma Banville travels to the US to talk to the American airman who knew the 14 year old girl that her client was convicted of killing.

1pm- The Weekly Cleaning, then to LA Fitness, and on the machines at 245pm.
45" Walk (NORTHERN RESCUE). 45" Recumbent Bike (read 'THE BOY MADE OUT OF BLOCKS'/ The Descendents- Hoopla). 45" Cross (NORTHERN RESCUE). 30" Walk (GIRLS). 30" Cross (GIRLS).
Home to read for a bit, and then in the tub with more Autistic Adventures and SONIC YOUTH.

'THE HARD WAY' (Netflix)   Lots of 'secret agent', interdepartmental betrayal whoo-ha stitched together with a maze of chop-socky....Who green-lighted this one? It's all been done before, and much better....
