Fr 12/18/20- Nothing Broken Today

 Fr 12/18/20

Up 8am: Breezy and cloudy with temps to low 40's.

Buddy coughed up a clear liquid, but once I applied the gel-pen and fed him he settled down.

I attempted to watch Netflix disc 'EMMA' on the downstairs PC, but it wouldn't play. The app that plays discs went into a cascade of 'errors' and I was afraid I couldn't turn it off. What the fuck is going on with the equipment around here?

I watched the disc on the 42" DVD PLAYER; no problems, although there was a slight learning curve with the channel changer/wand. I must make it a habit to use this setup every now and again.  

'EMMA' was a funny and satirical look England's upper class of the 19th century; ...the perils of playing God with others' hearts.....Anya Taylor-Joy, who makes for a particularly icy Emma....Anya Taylor-Joy creates an admirably spiky character who is less likable than some of her screen predecessors, and all the better for it; with Anya Taylor-Joy (THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT) and Bill Nighy, he was hilarious as Emma's "draft obsessed" father.

1255pm: A walk to mail back the disc's. Parkview, Wash. Pk. south side, Lincoln north to Adam's, Washington across Chatham and then over to the PO box at Walgreens, Monroe, Fairway, and down to 940...ONE HOUR AND 30 MINS. 91.9FM.

Read 'TONY & SUSAN' in the living room and listening to the Altec speaker. 

5pm: 2 MILES ON THE TREADMILL and watched another JOE ROGAN AND JOEY DIAZ.

In the tub with AUSTIN WRIGHT and listening to SUPERCHUNK, ART BLAKELY & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS. 

Watched 'YOUNG ADULT' (Amazon Prime). I've seen this before, but it's leaving Amazon on Dec. 31st. A troubled woman in her thirties returns to her home town and tries to strike up a romance with a guy that she hasn't seen since high school. A strange tone, with a preachy and deluded female psycho who finally gets a certain degree of redemption at the end of the film; with Charlize Theron, Patton Oswalt, and Patrick Wilson. 

"... in its uncompromising treatment of a character who's troubled but also a stone-cold bitch, Young Adult offers compassion for rather than revenge on the "psycho prom queen" who has nothing left in life but a warped mix-tape from an ex who moved on long ago."
