Th 3/21/19- Taxes 230pm

Up 645am; partly sunny, breezy to upper 40's.

Wrote up 'THE DOGS OF RIGA' for the blog.

Watched Netflix disc, 'THE SISTERS BROTHERS' John C. Reilly/ Joaquin Phoenix/ Jake Gyllenhaal    An absurdist Western that works admirably as a heart-felt expression of brotherly love. Set in the American West of the 1850's, two brothers who are hit men track another operative who has teamed up with a chemist who knows a formula that makes panning for gold a snap. John C. Reilly deserves an Oscar for his performance.

Then, 'ALL GOVERNMENTS LIE; TRUTH, DECEPTION, AND THE SPIRIT OF I.F. STONE' (Xfinity)  Matt Taibbi might be the next I.F. Stone.

Things will not change unless there is a general acceptance of the fact that there was a silent coup in this country that allowed corporate wealth to subsume the influence and power of democracy.

130pm: marking time until the tax meeting and will leave at 215pm. Then I plan to hit the Wabash PO to drop off the disc and workout at Planet Fitness.

I stopped at #43 Durkin Dr. and realized that the 'new structure' is really just a face lift on the small apartment complex with the porches. I remember listening to fights and clam bakes on these decks, and now they're gone....just a wall.

I pay no state or federal taxes, but next year I will pay 15% on the $44,000 that I have to take out of my investments. They just take it off the top, so I'm not paying anybody. And, it was $185 to file the return; Money well spent.

On the machines at Planet Fitness around 330pm. 45" Walk (UNSOLVED- Tupac/ Biggie). 45" Recumbent Bike (read 'THE SILENT COMPANION'/ listened to Tupac on Amazon Music; not bad- there's a lot of George Clinton in the mix). 45" Cross (UNSOLVED). 30" Walk (GIRLS). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- finished Steve Coogan, began Emily Mortimer).

Home to soak read more English Voo-Doo and listen to early Elvis Costello.

'DOG DAY' (Amazon Prime) A 1983 French film (most of the characters' voices seem to be dubbed) with Lee Marvin, and it's very strange. Marvin's character has robbed a bank and fleeing police. The film opens with Lee Marvin running through fields of wheat with a duffle full of cash. He connects with a family farm and these people are borderline depraved; sex, incest, and depravity. Asleep in the chair, and didn't finish and don't plan on it.
