Tu 12/17/19

Up 8am: Hazy early and then partly cloudy with temps to about 30. About an inch of powdery snow fell last night, and I swept/ pushed it off the drive and walk when taking out the trash.

Watched, 'HANCOCK' (Amazon Prime- leaving Prime on 12/31 so I decided to give it a shot) INTERESTING FACT: in 2008 Vince Gilligan help write the screenplay, but dropped out to begin his new project, 'BREAKING BAD'; with Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman, and Eddie Marsan. A wicked twist on the 'Superhero' genre. Hancock is not a straight-laced do-gooder or Jesus in leotards, but a depressed, lonely alcoholic with superhuman powers. Many reviewers panned it, but it is one of the first films to star a black superhero ever and I liked it.

Then, 'MILES IN THE LIFE' (Amazon Prime) Watched half and will save the last 45" for tonight.

Paid the cards and wrote a reply to Janny's email, and off to the 'Y' around 130pm.

On the machines at the 'Y' by 145pm. 45" Walk (According to the phone MTV schedule it was 'TEEN MOMS' all afternoon, but they played the movie, 'TITANIC'). 45" Recumbent Bike (TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

To County Market/ Fairhills: $69 groceries.

Home to soak and listen to STEVE REICH and LYNYRD SKYNYRD, and skimmed about half of 'HOW TO BEHAVE IN A CROWD'.

First episode of Season 3 again because I don't remember how the 'plane crash' fit into the story, then I decided to leave the pilot for Season 1 (60") for another day, and finished the last 45" of 'MILES IN THE LIFE' which was about a black college student who linked up with Atlanta's BLACK MAFIA FAMILY. This was a black criminal organization that was said to be highly intelligent and if they had entered a 'non-illegal' field, they would have been tremendously successful. He drove a limo between Georgia and California and transported millions in cash and drugs, and never ratted. He seems like a nice, reasonable fellow.

Then a YouTube bio of Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner). And then began a bit of  a YouTube bio of Motley Crue: Both eminently forgettable.

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...
