Sa 6/1/19- Sundown One Sound bar 12pm.
Up 6am; partly sunny, chance of rain this afternoon, and temps to the mid 80's.
Watched 'BLACK RAIN' (Amazon Prime) Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia are two NYC detectives. A Japanese Yakuza mobster brutally kills a man in a crowded NY restaurant. He's apprehended and the two cops must escort him back to Japan. After landing in Japan, they mistakenly surrender their prisoner to his confederates who were dressed as policemen. Mikey and Andy must recapture their man in a hostile and foreign land; Ridley Scott directs and leans heavily on fog and neon, and the film is more or less a valentine to the late 80's.
Spent some time acclimating to the new TV remote. Watched some YouTube videos, but really not that much help.
The salesman and the Polish installer from Sundown One arrived right on the dot of noon. It took about an hour, but things are up and running and I just love the sound! It's worth every penny. However, I don't know how to connect Google Play on the Bluetooth. I can access Amazon Music, but not Google Play. I'm just so apprehensive that the whole thing will work when I turn it on tomorrow morning. It seemed like the salesman/ tech waded through a mountain of info to get it up and running. Now I remember how for years I was so attracted to boom boxes- ya just plug em' in and go!
Then I logged on to the new TV for Netflix and Amazon Prime...a soul crushing experience. Finally both are 'on'. Amazon Prime wanted an additional code. Interesting: Netflix is only the streaming app, you can't connect to the disc part of the website.
I hung three albums above the speaker bar, and it looks great.
240pm: biked to FitClub West
45" Octane (OFF CAMERA - Lauren Cohan, then the beginning of Ian McShane). 45" Walk (TV). 45" Cross. 30" Recumbent Bike (The regular Bike has been down for several months. This Club Is Going To Shit!). 30" Old Style Cross.
Home to read downstairs for a half hour while listening to RUBBER SOUL.
Then in the tub for more Lisa Gardner and Acoustic Wuzzy.
'LOVE TRUE' (Netflix) Three stories of 'relationships' examined in documentary style; An Alaskan stripper who loves a young man with a degenerative bone disease, an abusive husband who makes money with his kids as buskers on the streets of NYC, and an Hawaiian young man who has custody problems with his ex. This is the kind of film that gets better the more you think about it. No surprise that Shia LaBeouf is the executive producer.
From online review: 'Collider'
"....follows three subjects: an Alaskan stripper who is ready to fall in love for the first time, a Hawaiian surfer caught in the undertow of a familial crisis, and a New Yorker who is struggling to process her parent’s impending separation. LoveTrue uses real footage, dramatic reenactments, subtitled line readings, and Flying Lotus‘ swirling orchestrations not to try and pinpoint what love is, but how love is fluid. We see it in various stages, equal in elation, grief, and idle familiarity".
