Su 3/24/19

Up 7am; threatening, some rain last night and more predicted today- to mid fifties.

Downloaded 'CHRIS CORNELL' from Hoopla.

Watched 'RED ROCK WEST' (Xfinity) Nicolas Cage/ Dennis Hopper/ Lara Flynn Boyle   A classy Western Noir: Cage arrives broke and tired looking for work, and a man mistakenly believes he's the hitman he commissioned to kill his wife. Cage is basically a good guy, but gets caught up in some very bad things, and Dennis Hopper seems to delight in his weirdly menacing persona...."Adios to Red Rock".

Then, 'GOODLAND' (Xfinity)  More Noir, and this one was a really pleasant surprise. In Goodland, KS a photographer arrives and a drunk is found dead, mangled in a corn field by a combine. Of course, the two incidents are connected. The photog is working with a bank robbery crew (dead guy was a member), but he's really some kind of a federal agent. The Feds cut him loose, and he is shot after the robbery. Very well done; this is an authentic 'Overlooked Film'.

1pm: reading 'THE SILENT COMPANIONS' and to LA Fitness later. 230pm- 305pm; The Weekly Cleaning. On the machines at LA Fitness- 345pm.
45" Walk (THE WHITE DRAGON). 45" Recumbent Bike (THE SILENT COMPANIONS/ Chris Cornell (Hoopla). 45" Cross (THE WHITE DRAGON). 30" Walk (GIRLS). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Ted Danson)/

Home to soak and finish THE SILENT COMPANIONS and listen to COP KILL COP; just began THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE- F. Scott Fitzgerald.

'THE DIRT' Netflix biopic of Motley Crue.    The film is based on the band member's memoirs about their time with band, but the acting is clownish, and not in the least believable, but some of the early 'live' practice sessions really rocked.

Dummy Board- EARLY 17TH CENTURY. Usually associated with the fireplace.

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...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
