Su 3/17/19

Up 710am; partly sunny to mid 40's.

Watched 'A MOST WANTED MAN' (Amazon Prime) Philip Seymour Hoffman   "When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Islamic community, laying claim to his father's ill gotten fortune, both German and US security agencies take a close interest"; based on a John Le Carre novel and one of the last films by Seymour. I had seen this before and well worth a second look; with Robin Wright/ Rachel McAdams/ Willem Dafoe.

Then, 'FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS' (Xfinity- Sony Crackle) Justin Timberlake and Mila Tunis star in a very formulaic rom-com. Absolutely predictable, but it's got Richard Jenkins, Woody Harrelson, and Patricia Clarkson to spark things up a bit.

115pm- Getting an early start with the workout at FitClub West.
45" Octane (RID OF ME). 45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Cross. (The 'Coach' was kidding me about getting a new car. He spoke of a high-end Honda Civic for $35,000 that's perkier than a Corvette, and a guy the comes to FitClub West has one. He paid a few grand extra just to own one in Springfield. When I left the club, this car was parked along the fence behind my car...(ISEEU2). 30" Walk. 30" Old Style Cross.

Home to do the weekly cleaning and read for 25". Then in the tub with Led Zep and more Nordic Wallander Noir.

'ATTACK ON DARFUR' (Amazon Prime) A group of journalists and NGO's are escorted through Sudan to investigate and document incidents of  genocide, and they are involved in the decimation of a village; Billy Zorn/ Edward Furlong. Somewhat interesting, but 'the backstory' was missing- the reasons for the conflict.

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...
