 Th 9/24/20

Up 730am: Sunny with temps almost to 80.

I wrote up 'A WOMAN AT WAR'- by Molly Moore for the blog.

Watched 'SLAM' (Kanopy). The theme is that the white majority rules Australia and everyone other than whites are treated as 'The Enemy'. An immigrant's sister disappears. She is educated in Leftist-Agitprop Political Theory and performs poetry 'slams' that highlight her views, so the authorities try to link her to Syrian terrorism. She didn't leave the country to join the terrorists, but she was raped and murdered- probably by white Australians. A thought provoking film- another pleasant surprise. 

Then I watched 'SOUTHLAND TALES' (Crackle). A silly, over-the-top comedy about a dystopian Los Angeles (set in a possible future of 2008) that is about to implode due to wacky conspiracy theories and civil anarchy; with Dwayne Johnson, Seann Scott, Sarah Gellar, Many Doore, Jon Lovitz, and Wallace Shawn. Said Andrew O'Hehir-

"...overcrowded with extraordinary images, incomprehensible ideas, literary and pop-cultural references and colliding subplots -- that it transcends its adolescent awkwardness and approaches being magnificent."

245pm: PC is 'Off' and I will at least see if my electric hedge trimmer works and maybe I'll take a stab at the back flower beds. Then a walk.

Clueless as to how extension cord attaches to the trimmer. 

340pm...Parkview, north side of Wash. Pk., Williams to Pasfield, south to Laurel, Wash Park uphill, Parkview and down to 940. 2 HOURS... Mp3... 'Aftermath' ~ THE STONES, 'American Band' ~ DRIVE BY TRUCKERS, 'Beaster' ~ BOB MOULD. 

In the tub with LEGION and listening to BLOODWYN PIG, JACK BRUCE AND FRIENDS, 

Watched the rest of a documentary about Mudhoney, 'I'M NOW: THE STORY OF MUDHONEY' (Amazon Prime). Much more savvy than you would imagine punk rockers to be. They saw 'Music' as a way of making a living and maybe that's why they spent so little on recording costs and pocketed the rest. It made me want to check out their later stuff on YouTube. It is rumored that these guys got better after a couple of decades of playing together.  

Then watched episode 1 of  'CRIMES UNCOVERED- When Two World's Collide' (Amazon Prime).  Two gay men are murdered in a South African car jacking. They were stripped naked, stuffed in the trunk of a car, and then brought out and shot in the back of the head- execution style.
