Tu 12/10/19

Up 740am: Mostly sunny, breezy and cold with temps to about 30 and frigid windchill.

Wrote up 'SOMEONE' by Alice McDermott for the blog.

Watched Netflix disc, 'THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE'; with Jesse Eisenberg, Alessandro Nivola, and Imogen Poots- she was in 'SWEET VIRGINIA'.  A deadpan, black comedy about karate and what it means to be a man. Directed by Riley Stearns who also did 'FAULTS'.


Then, 'THE TRIBES OF PALOS VERDES' (Netflix) The film is a kind of document of the psychological disintegration of a family in the affluent community of Palos Verdes, CA. Although she loves her crazy father, her mentally ill mother, and her drug addled brother, her new love of surfing is not enough to keep it all together. I guess the message is that opulent prosperity and scenic beauty is not necessarily enough to assure happiness. I can see why many would hate this film because the characters seemed to have everything that anyone could possibly want or need, yet they were still left wanting. I liked it! The location of TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB LOS ANGELES; with Maika Monroe, Cody Fern, Jennifer Garner, and Justin Kirk.

230pm: To the Wabash PO to return the disc and then to Planet Fitness. 45" Walk (YouTube interviews with Keith Richards and Eric Clapton). 45" Recumbent Bike (Began 'How To Be...' and listened to Amazon Prime). 45" Cross (MYTHOMANIAC). 30" Walk (MYTHOMANIAC). 30" Cross (MYTHOMANIAC and the end of the OFF CAMERA- Noomi Rapace)

Then, $58.00 groceries at County Market/ Fairhills.

Then in the tub with more of the December selection for the Contemporary Book Club and listened to JAMIE XX and CHICAGO.

The next 'BREAKING BAD' (Netflix).

Then watched the YouTube five minute short by Riley Stearns, 'THE CUB'. Parents leave their daughter to be raised by wolves. They pick her up, she kills them, and says...."Long Live Wolves....We Have Enough Meat To Last The Winter!!!"

Then a YouTube interview with Riley Stearns and Mary Elizabeth Winstead about 'FAULTS'.

And then a YouTube interview with Riley Stearns, Jesse Eisenberg, and Alessandro Nivola about ' THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE'.

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).
