Tu 4/2/19- The Brandenburgs at 11am

Up 630am;  sunny to partly cloudy- temps to near 60.

Watched Netflix disc, 'SORRY TO BOTHER YOU'.......The film can best be described as an "Absurdist black comedy/ satire using magical realism and science fiction inspired by telemarketing".  I loved it!

Watched some more of the Allman Brothers documentary.

11-12pm: The Brandenburgs- $65,000 check

Then, 'THE LEISURE SEEKERS' (Xfinity) Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren as an old couple who escape suburban Massachusetts to travel to Hemingway's house on the Florida Keys. He is losing his battle with dementia and she is dying of cancer, so this is their last ride into the sunset. The film ends with their double suicide, yet it's still strangely uplifting; first English-language feature for Italian director, Paolo Virzi, and from a novel by Michael Zadoorian.

After the film I ordered two books by Michael Zadoorian from Amazon- 'THE LEISURE SEEKER' and 'BEAUTIFUL MUSIC'.

210pm; Wabash PO and Planet Fitness
45" Walk (ALIAS GRACE). 45" Recumbent Bike (read THE SNOWMAN/ Allman Brothers Amazon Music). 45" Cross (ALIAS GRACE). 30" Walk (SELLING SUNSET). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Patton Oswald).

On the way home I pulled into the voting place on Old Jacksonville Rd. at 658pm, closed at 7pm. One of the last votes cast in the whole town.
I saw Judy Anderson, she was helping with the voting. I told her that 'You hired me for a phone company job in 1975'! Why didn't I ask her the starting wage????

In the tub with more Norwegian Police drama and Live Elvis and The Attractions.

'MILLFORD GRAVES FULL MANTIS' (Amazon Prime) A profile of a Free Jazz drummer from the sixties and 70's. Wild! Then an Amazon Prime documentary of the early rock scene'ALL ALONG THE WATCH TOWER- SOUR ROCK'; early Stones, Who, Hendrix, Eric Burdon, and many more. Never Seen Before Footage- New To Me....only watched part of it.

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...

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).
