Sa 4/13/19- Library Book Sale

Up 650am; cool, partly sunny- to upper 50's.

Watched 'LAYER CAKE' (Netflix)  One of the better film adaptations I've ever seen. The only changes made the story even more cohesive. But why did they feel the need to change mob boss Mr. Ryder's name to Mr. Temple?

I wrote up the novel 'LAYER CAKE' for the blog.

Then watched 'LITTLE MEN'  An excellent small film about a family that inherits a house in Brooklyn. A Chilean woman rents a workspace and the new owners are forced to raise her rent. The film is about how this effects the relationship of the Chilean woman's son and the son of the new owners; with Greg Kinnear.

1230pm: to the library books sale. Becky was downstairs with a big sign directing people to the 3rd floor; the room where we have the meetings. Nice selection and I got twelve books for six bucks. All familiar authors: catnip for me.

Decided to head for FitClub South. On the machines a little before 2pm.
45" Best Octane; it's falling apart since it doesn't remember how long you're on (use your watch!). Mirror Ball/ Buddy Guy/ Dinosaur Jr. 45" Recumbent Bike (read 'BEAUTIFUL MUSIC'/ Judy Collins- 'Strangers Again'; Amazon Music). 45" Walk (THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MADELINE MCCANN). 30" Best Octane (MCCANN). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Joey King).

$56 at County Market on south sixth. Home to put the stuff away and downstairs to read more Detroit Coming Of Age and listened to The Goo Goo Dolls.

In the tub for more reading and ODELAY- BECK.

'THE SPY WHO FELL TO EARTH' (Netflix)  Watched about 20" and not that impressed. The man who marries the daughter of President Sadat of Egypt is a double agent of Egypt and Israel?

Switched to a documentary about The Stones is South America. So many young people in the crowds. I'm sure this is intentional.

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).
