We 4/24/19- Contemporary Book Club

Up715am; light rain early, cloudy to 60.

Xfinity Is Back!!! Watched 'THE 15:17 TO PARIS' (Xfinity)   One of the strangest movies of all time! Based on an actual event- In 2015 three American friends subdue a terrorist on a train while on vacation in Europe. The film tracks their journey from middle school to the day of their heroism; "My God is bigger than your statistics", "I went to war to save lives", "I didn't want my friends and family to find out that I died hiding under a desk", "Black people don't exactly hunt in the leisure time", and all of the 'toy weaponry' is seen as a normal (noble?) part of childhood. The three heroes, and the Frenchman that was wounded, all play themselves in the film! Strange as Hell!!!

1015am: Began the preparation for tonight's meeting. Computer on sleep and I'm skimming, 1045am.

Finish the prep-work, then to FitClub West- 130pm, and will leave from there around 520pm.

45" Octane (THE POLICE). 45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 20" Old Style Cross.

3" whirlpool/ shower.

The book club was lukewarm about the book. Not many liked it, but most were affected: Picked selections to January.

Home to watch 'SUBURBAN COWBOY' (Amazon Prime) A drug dealer in Long Island, New York is taken over by the Serbian mafia. A very low-budget affair, and certainly no new ground broken, but excellent art work for the beginning and ending titles.

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).
