 Fr 10/9/20

Up reading 'KILL THE MESSENGER' for over an hour and out of bed at 8am. Bright and sunny with temps to low 80's. 

  ***Added several albums by Ben Webster to my Amazon Music, but not 'Soulville'- only on Unlimited.  

Watched 'LITTLE PINK HOUSE' (Amazon Prime). A film about Eminent Domain- State or local government can take a citizen's property and allow anyone to buy it if the new owner can demonstrate the ability to generate more tax revenue. Ex. A Motel Six owner can be bought out and replaced with a Hiatt House because a luxury hotel complex would bring in more taxes than a Motel Six. This was the most hated supreme court ruling in American history; with Catherine Keener and Jeanne Tripplehorn.

1245pm: PC is 'Off' and will read for a while and think of reasons NOT to do the backyard weeding of the flower beds. Best Excuse: Wait out the warm weather until the eve of the first real cold snap. 

330pm...Wash.Pk. Northside to Park south to Outer Park, then west Wiggins north to Wash. Pk... Up and back 'duck walk'. Up south side road, Parkview and down to 940...ONE HOUR AND 45 MINS... Mp3... 'Gates of Gold' ~ LOS LOBOS, LED ZEPPELIN 3, KINGS OF LEON. 

In the tub with HOAG and listening to 'Underwater Moonlight' ~ THE SOFT BOYS, FEAR, CIRCLE JERKS. 

Watched 'THE HIPPOPOTAMUS' (Amazon Prime). A contemporary, hard drinking and former English poet is asked to check on his nephew. The teenager seems to have been performing miracles at the family's country estate. Stephen Fry wrote the screenplay for his 1994 novel of the same name; with Roger Allam as the boozy poet, Ted Wallace. Witty and sarcastic...I liked it!

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). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
