 Fr 9/11/20

Up 730am: Cloudy with temps to upper 70's.

They finished removing the gigantic dead tree next to 'roof-rake' house. That tree had to have been fifty or sixty feet tall. 

***While watching the film I noticed that the PC needs to 'Restart' because of the damned Windows 2004 Update. Will try to finish the film before doing it.

'A TAXI DRIVE' (Hoopla). About a real incident that I had never heard of. 'Gwangju Uprising'- Summer of 1980 student protests for Democratic reform led to a government shutdown of a southern Korean city. 2000 were killed. A taxi driver drove a German film reporter from Seoul to Gwangju and was able to get the film to the international public. That was the last time that the two men met. 

***1130am: Will read and eat a bowl of rice during the 'Restart'. I hope this is painless and will end the constant 're-updating'. The update only lasted a few minutes, but it's still 'Pending' and 'History' shows that it was installed already.

Then watched 'THE PASSION OF DARKLY NOON' (Amazon). A strange Art Film about a young (mentally challenged?) man named 'Darkly' whose parents were murdered in a military-style attack on their religious community and Darkly survives and wanders the forest until he meets a free spirited woman named Callie. She is married to Clay, a mute who leaves from time to time to walk the woods, and within a few days, Darkly finds that he cannot deal with his repressed sexual feelings for Callie. Directed by Philip Ridley who did 'THE REFLECTING SKIN'; with Brendan Fraser, Ashley Judd, and Viggo Mortensen.

225pm: ***I can't stop it. I'll try one more 'Restart', but when I went to hit the button it said that my Updates were current and nothing was pending. I wonder if it will be OK when I open up tomorrow morning? Shutting It Down!

350pm...Parkview, Wash. Pk. North side across on Lincoln to Outer Park and back to Wash. Pk. on Bates/Noble. North side, up road, Parkview, Fairway, up to 940...Mp3...HENRY THREADGILL, PAVEMENT, DRIVE BY TRUCKERS. 

In the tub with 'TULSA' and listening to YAWNING MAN, FATSO JETSONS, QUESTION MARK & THE MYSTERIANS. 

Watched a German film 'FREAKS: YOU'RE ONE OF US' (Netflix). A young woman learns that she has super powers and finds a tiny community of  'super heroes in the making'. They fight 'The Powers That Be' because the authorities have been medically suppressing the people that show super abilities; interestingly odd.

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).
