We 7/8/20

We 7/8/20

Up 645am: Hot and humid with a possibility of pop up showers later this afternoon- low 90's with Discomfort Index to three digits. 

***The plan is to mow the lawn before the rain.

Watched 'BRONSON' (dir. Nicolas Winding Refn). "...an utterly repellent look at a psychopath..." or "...Bronson invites you to admire its protagonist as a pure, muscular embodiment of anarchy." 
Not a lot of story-line, plot, or character development, but we watch spellbound as this fully developed psychopath explodes on the screen. Tom Hardy perfectly embodied the role of the true life character, Michael Peterson, "England's most notorious prisoner".

10am: PC is on 'Sleep' and I mowed the lawn. Finished about 1115am (raked and some trimming)  and within a half hour it got very dark and thunder ringing in the distance, but it blew over.

***At Boozer's old house guys are building a metal 'pergola'.
And there is a sign in front of the house about an outfit to 'water seal basements'. I might give these guys a call. 

Noon: smoked a small bud and watched 'ADOLESCENCE' (Amazon Prime). Corny and includes nearly every cliche of the genre:

"When a creative, sensitive teen from a dysfunctional family meets a beautiful, enigmatic runaway; his life is turned upside down when he travels the dark path with her toward parties and drug addiction."

Then I watched the next episode of 'BOSCH' (Amazon Prime).
Read OZONE in the living room and will walk later.
Cloud burst at 4pm. Did not lesson the humidity. 

420pm. Parkview, Country Club, Laurel. North on Park and thru Wash. Pk. Edwards, Lawrence, Fairway 940. ONE HOUR 45 Mins. .Mp3. Tom Waits 'Swordfishtrombone', Stones 'Now', THE KINKS 'KRONIKLES' .

Read 30 mins in the living room, then in the tub with THEROUX and listened  to LESTER YOUNG, RAMSEY LEWIS TRIO 'In Crowd', HANK MOBLEY 'Soul Station'. 

Watched, 'THE ROLLING STONES- TOTALLY STRIPPED' (Amazon Prime). From the 1995 tour and DVD.Watched the first ten minutes 'LOVE IN VAIN' and what the film would be about;  "To capture the intimacy of  'Studio' with the intensity of  'Live'."

Then the next episode of 'THE INNOCENCE FILES: The Witness: The Murder of Donald Sarpy' (Netflix).  A kid is convicted of a drive-by murder on spurious eye witness testimony. The witness was coached by investigators with photos that they claimed were of the shooter. A kind of 'shout out' to the fallacy of eye witness testimony. The excessive use of  'photo books' by police can steer witnesses to believe who the police want to incriminate. 

Then the last episode of Season 1, 'SCHITTS CREEK' (Amazon Prime). They thought that they had found a buyer for the town, but he died before he could sign.

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).
