Th 3/7/19

Up 640 am; overcast and about 2" of new snow by 130pm. Wintry Mix is in the forecast until tomorrow morning- 30's.

Watched Netflix disc, 'MANDY'  Nicholas Cage is off the chain in a revenge picture about a couple who is attacked by a hippie drug cult/ biker gang. It's a spooky, overheated, blood-drenched  melodrama, but nobody does it better than Cage.

Then, 'A WOMAN, A PART' with Maggie Siff.     A successful television series actress is disillusioned by the role that made her famous and she flees Los Angeles for NYC to reunite with the acting friends that helped her learn the craft of acting.

Ordered a cardigan sweater from Amazon- 2X and I hope it fits.

2pm; to Wabash PO to mail the disc and then to Planet Fitness
45" Walk (MR. ROBOT). 45" Recumbent Bike (THE BONE TREE/ 'Scary Monsters'- Bowie). 45" Cross (MR. ROBOT). 30" Walk (Sam Jones podcast). 30" Cross (Sam Jones- OFF CAMERA).

Home to soak and get within 40 pages of the end of THE BONE TREE and listen to 'ANIMAL BOY'- Ramones.

'COLLIDE' (Amazon Prime) Felicity Jones/ Anthony Hopkins/ Ben Kingsley.     A 'by-the-numbers' drug rip-off movie that is driven by the need to pay for Felicity's character's kidney transplant with fast car chases along the Autobahn with plot holes you could drive a semi through. The cocaine is smuggled from Chile injected into golf balls, then the money is sent back from Europe hidden in high end sports cars. Hopkins plays the sophisticated dealer and Kingsley portrays the loutish, ethnic dealer. Both characters are completely cliched.  Pretty numb on this one...ho hum..

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...
