Mo 7/27/20

Up 730am: Overcast early and rain predicted for most of the day- to low 80's.

Watched 'SPOTLIGHT' (Netflix). An investigating team at the Boston Globe, 'Spotlight', uncovers a massive cover-up by the Catholic diocese of Boston to protect pedophile priests. INTERESTING FACT: Although celibacy is a prerequisite to the priesthood, 50% of all priests have sex with other human beings though not necessarily with children; with Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schrieiber, Stanley Tucci, and Billy Crudup.  

Then watched 'WITHOUT NAME' (Amazon Prime). An Irish land surveyor attempts to map a remote and ghostly forested area and loses his mind or he becomes enchanted by a supernatural entity.  I guess it's open for debate. Directed by Lorcan Finnegan who did 'AVARIUM' and this film is not nearly as good, but still very much worth a look. 

Wrote and sent off The Weekly Wrap. 
315pm: PC is 'Off' and according to the weather maps the storms should have moved on by 4pm. I'm taking the umbrella and heading to Washington Park during the break from the storms. 

350pm. Down Westview, up Greenview, Parkview to Wash. Pk. North side and across the middle of the park. Lincoln south to Cherry and over to Wiggins and back to Wash. Pk. Back north side.... Ran into Bob from across the street. He was jogging. He uses The Glenwood track to 'get his pace'... Up hill, Parkview and down to 940. 2 HOURS. Mp3.. YO LA TENGO, CARLOS SANTANA/ WAYNE SHORTER, 'Swordfishtrombone', TOM PETTY.

READ STRAIGHT MAN for 30 mins. Then in the tub with more Russo and listening to THE ENGLISH BEAT, THE DAMNED ~ 'Machine GUN Etiquette', PAUL WELLER ~ ' Saturns Pattern', LIVE STEVE MARRIOTT. 

Watched 'THE DEVIL'S REJECTS' (Amazon Prime). A savage and homicidal family flee the authorities and mayhem ensues; with Sid Haig, Sheri Moon Zombie, and William Forsythe, and directed by Rob Zombie (WHITE ZOMBIE). The cast is fantastic and the dialog is forceful and concise- I liked it... LYNYRD SKYNYRD's  'Freebird' plays over the final bloody standoff with the police.
From L.A. Weekly:
"This film is lean, tight and irredeemably vile. People are gonna love it.".

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).
