Th 9/3/20- County Market Groceries

Up 745am: Sunny and warmer- upper 80's. Shopping from 830-915am: $75.

Watched 'THE FOUNDER' (Netflix). An illustrious biography of one of the most successful job creators of all time or how Ray Kroc fleeced the McDonald Brothers; with Kichael Keaton, Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch, Linda Cardellini, Laura Dern, and Patrick Wilson; "If I found my competitor drowning, I'd shove a hose into his mouth".

***Both neighbors across the street are having their chimneys repaired by Klein's Chimney Service.

1245pm: Will read for a while and then hit the sidewalks.

420pm...Parkview, Wash. Pk, down the hill, north side and south on Lincoln. Outer Park, Laurel, Country Club, Parkview and down to 940. 2 HOURS... Mp3... BILLY COBHAM 'Focused', GINGER BAKER 'Going Back Home..A fantastic album with Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden', YO LA TENGO 'Genius /Love'. 

In the tub with AMERICAN PSYCHO and listening to AIR ~  'Moon Safari',  GINGER BAKER ~ 'A Hard Day's Baker'. 

Watched the Netflix disc 'SHAME'. A profile of a contemporary  NYC man who is  'Addicted to LOVE'. Alone and unhappy, the protagonist deals with an endless parade of sexual partners who know nothing of him and he knows nothing of them. And, there seems to be a strange attraction to his sister that is not fully explained; Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan were fantastic and it really was a disturbingly sexy Art Film. 

I watched a very good 20 minute YouTube review about 'SHAME'. Basically she thought that the film was very well done, and Fassbender was fantastic, but because the theme was so depressing and dark that it was impossible to like the film. I agree with her, but the reason that I liked it was for this very reason. The movie forces you to feel the frustration and alienation of his predicament so you won't feel good after watching it. Films do not have to leave you feeling happy or positive and some of my favorite films help me to see the darker and more disturbing aspects of human nature. And this one certainly is an example an illumination of a sickness. 

Then the last episode of  'THE BUSINESS OF DRUGS- Heroin' (Netflix). Due to the decades long wars in the middle east, the heroin drug trade now goes through the port of Mombasa, Kenya on the eastern edge of the African continent.

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...
