Tu 10/6/20

 Tu 10/6/20

6am read for an hour, napped, and up at 815am. Bright, sunny, and warmer- upper 70's.

I watched the Netflix disc 'FRANKIE'. A legendary film star has orchestrated a family gathering in the Portuguese town of Sintra. She's going to let them know that she is dying; with Isabelle Huppert, Brendan Gleeson, Marisa Tomei, and Greg Kinnear. A very fine character study of a family in flux. 

Then watched one more episode of  'I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD LEAVE' (Netflix). 

Then I watched 'LAVENDER' (Netflix). A female photographer of old houses begins having troubling memories about a bloody secret from her past. After a car accident in which she sustained head injuries, her unconscious goes into overdrive; with Dermot Mulroney and Abbie Cornish. Well shot, pleasing to look at, and a difficult story that ties up at the end.

330pm: PC is 'Off' and walking to the Wabash PO to mail back the disc.

340pm...Out Country Club, Chatham.. WABASH PO and stopped at the Dollar Store for a tube of antiitch cream... Back Chatham, Parkview, Greenview and up to 940. 2 HOURS... Mp3... BRAINIAC, GANG OF FOUR, LED ZEPPELIN '3'.

In the tub with BLESSINGS and listening to THE GUN CLUB, PUBLIC IMAGE, KILLING JOKE.

Then I watched 'THE VAST NIGHT' (Amazon Prime). Something is strange in the sky in a 50's rural New Mexico town. A switchboard operator leaves her post to team up with the local late night radio disc jockey to investigate the phenomenon. It's a spaceship looking to abduct people. An homage to the TV series, 'THE TWILIGHT ZONE'. Another terrific 'B-Movie'. No name stars.

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).
