Mo 3/23/2020

Up 745am:Cloudy with temps to about 40.

Wrote up 'THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA'- Philip Roth for the blog. I was surprised to learn that this was one of the first books in the blog when I first read the book in 2010.

Watched episode 1 of Season 5, 'BETTER CALL SAUL' on AMC. Only one more day to watch Season 5 for free and I'm planning on watching it all today. I'm not quite finished with Season 4 and it will be at least a year before 'BETTER CALL SAUL' will be available on Netflix.

****Only episode 1 was free****

Watched, 'TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY' (Netflix). An intricate and detailed novel by John Le Carre is transformed into an accessible, yet complex film. George Smiley is brought back from retirement to find a 'mole' in the 'circus' to stop the loss of 'treasure'. Smiley's longtime foil, Karla (only a voice in the film) plays a large role; with Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Toby Jones, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

****I ordered a $26.00 rice cooker from Amazon. Free shipping.

I got a long email from Janny about how The Brandenburgs were handling the crisis and I sent a reply.

430pm: Out for the daily walk.

Up Westview and down Parkview to the park. Counterclockwise and up Parkview to Lynnhaven and down Fairway and back up. NEARLY AN HOUR AND A HALF.

On the couch and trying to finish 'SIDEWAYS IN TIME' and listened to DRUGDEALER and DEERHUNTER. Then in the tub to finish the MURRAY LEINSTER short story/novella and listened to more DEERHUNTER and JONI MITCHELL.

Watched another, 'TIGER KING' (Netflix). Odder, and odder, yet the psychopathic woman is smarter and more cunning than the two male oddballs.

Then the last episode of, 'FOREVER' (Amazon Prime). And I was sad to learn that Season 1 is the end of the Amazon produced series.

Then an episode of, 'GUN' (Amazon Prime); with Rosanna Arquette and James Gandolfini. A woman has an affair with a writer that lives in the apartment building and her husband is oblivious. In the end, she is abandoned by the writer, but steals the writer's work, claims it for herself, and her husband shoots him dead. Not as bad as it sounds.

Then an episode of , 'UGLY DELICIOUS' (Netflix). Thanksgiving with the Changs. The title of the series is David Chang's slang for 'Home Cooking'.

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...
