 Mo 8/17/20

Up 705am: Cloudy with a chance of showers later this afternoon- low 80's.

I Wrote up 'NIGHT SINS'- Tami Hoag for the blog. And I ordered the next book, 'GUILTY AS SIN' from Amazon.

Watched 'NIGERIAN PRINCE' (Netflix).  A high school aged boy living in Los Angeles is sent to live with his aunt in Legos, Nigeria. His parents have separated and his mom thinks he needs to 'learn of his roots'. The Aunt's son is a Nigerian Scammer. Mayhem ensues. Barely rates a 'C'.

The film was partly funded by Spike Lee's '40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks. 

***940am: Black male, 20" knocked on the door and asked, "Is "?" here? ... I didn't catch the name, but I knew that they weren't here. A gray late model car was in the driveway and a man/woman?/in a mask was behind the wheel. Drove away and it seemed legit, but in five years nothing like this has happened.  

Began 'THE PATRIOT' (Netflix-2hrs 45mins). Saved an hour and 20 minutes for tonight;  with Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Joely Richardson, Jason Isaacs, and Tom Wilkinson. 

***Mel Gibson's character is somewhat based on the real American Revolutionary War hero, Francis Marion- The Swamp Fox. He fought the British using 'Injun' techniques and is credited with being a founding father of the United States Army Special Forces AKA the 'Green Berets'.

315pm...Lawrence, Edwards, South on Spring to Laurel, west to park and north side, up hill, Parkview and down to 940.2 HOURS. Mp3... 'BEGGARS BANQUET' ~ STONES, 'More Jack Than God' ~ JACK BRUCE. 

Home to read downstairs and listen to LIVE DEAD and THE MONKS OF DOOM.

In the tub with 'A Faint Cold Fear' ~ Robert Daley, and listening to ERIC COMBS, 'MY DISCOVERY LIST~ 25 songs I am supposed to like. Working so far,  then, SOCIAL DISTORTION. 

Then watched 'MUDHONEY- I'M NOW: THE STORY OF MUDHONEY' (Amazon Prime). Watched about an hour and will save the rest for another time. Then continued with 'THE PATRIOT' from this afternoon. 

Then more of the Miranda Cosgrove interview... Some guy was living in her backyard, she wasn't there, but he lit himself on fire and shot himself, and now she lives at her parents house. She presented it so 'mater of fact' that it came off strange and weird.
