Th 5/9/19

Up 645am; some rain last night;  overcast and light drizzle most of the day- to high 60's and very humid/ chilly.

Watched Netflix disc, 'THE CHAMBER' Gene Hackman as a racist Klansman on death row at Parchman, Mississippi for the bombing death of two young children. His grandson is a young Chicago lawyer who tries to prevent the 'state sanctioned murder'. Not bad- with Faye Dunaway who received a 'Razzie' for her performance, but I found it quite believable.

Then, 'SEA OF LOVE' (Xfinity) Al Pacino/ John Goodman/ Ellen Barkin/ and Paul Calderon- the cop from 'BOSCH'.  A woman is meeting men on newspaper dating sites and then murdering them. Pacino plays a detective who becomes involved with a woman- Ellen Barkin- that might be the killer. The twist is that the killer is her ex-husband who has been stalking her on her dates. Samuel Jackson has a tiny role in the beginning of the film about a police scam to catch felons- invite them to 'A Breakfast With The Yankees'. Jackson is very young and thin as a rail.

130pm: Will read 'THE VERDICT' and then to the Wabash PO to mail the disc, workout at Planet Fitness, and then the weekly shopping at County Market/ Fairhills.
Got the phone hooked to the Elantra in my driveway with no problem. It's gonna be nice!

45" Walk (LUNATICS). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read 'THE VERDICT'). 45" Cross (LUNATICS). 30" (The last episode of 'FLEABAG'). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Weird Al Yankovic).
$62 at County Market/ Fairhills. When I left, I parked far from the maddening crowd and set the 40 Sirius channels. I'm going to do it again and get the news channels in one group- no biggie.

Home to soak and listen to Elmore James and I finished 'THE VERDICT' in the tub.
The next 'BOSCH' (Amazon Prime), and then the 'Street Food' from last night....rang no new bells.

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).
