Mo 7/6/20

Up 625am: Hot and humid- low 90's.

***9am: watered the front flowers.

Watched 'WASP NETWORK' (Netflix). The film concludes with info about a spy ring based in the US that carried terrorist bombings in Cuba to destroy their tourist industry. One man's Freedom Fighter is another's Terrorist. The locations were beautiful, but I couldn't really say who were 'The Good Guys' and who were 'The Bad Guys'; with Penelope Cruz, Edgar Ramirez, and Gael Garcia Bernal. The Feelies and Willy DeVille had songs on the soundtrack. 

Watched 'FEAR X' (Amazon Prime). A security guard's wife is gunned down at a mall and for months after her death he obsesses on finding her killer. A secret government police agency was conducting a clandestine operation and she was killed in error. What they were doing or the circumstances of her murder are never revealed. Very slow paced, but this only helped to heighten the tension, but apparently not enough because it didn't do well in the reviews, but I could also see how some might really like it. I did. Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and Hubert Selby Jr. co-wrote the screenplay with him; with John Turturro and Deborah Kara Unger.

Watched a couple of YouTube reviews of the film, but I think my observations were better. 

2:43 PM Mo 7/6/2020

Total Asset Value:
$2,161,529.61
Available Cash: $9,755.46

Watched episode 1 of 'TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG' (Amazon Prime). This is a series of nine, hour and a half episodes directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. Also very slowly paced, yet very compelling.

Wrote a rather short Chat Wrap and then on the walk. And running extremely late and will hit the sidewalks just before 5pm.

450PM. Parkview Washington Pk. South side then south on Bates. To Outer Park and north on Park. Leland east across McArthur, State, Walnut. Panhandle west on south side. Up hill, Parkview Greenview and up to 940. MP3. MARC RIBOT, MATTHEW SWEET-'Covers', MILES DAVIS. 2 HOURS ON THE NOSE.

In the tub with Ozone and listening to U2, DEERHUNTER, THE BLACK ANGELS. 

Watched 'RUDEBOY: THE STORY OF TROJAN RECORDS' (Kanopy). A standard presentation of Trojan Records that is marred by lame and ham-fisted recreations, yet nothing can be done to muffle the sound of those infectious dance beats. 

Then watched episode 1 of, 'THE STIX' (Amazon Prime). An interesting 'on-line' series about the rise of drug gangs in rural western Tennessee. 

Watched 'THE INNOCENCE FILES- The Evidence: The Duty to Correct' (Netflix).

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).
