Th 12/17/20- Living Room PC Down!

 Th 12/17/20- Living Room PC Down!

Up 8am: Cloudy with temps to mid 30's.

***PC would not turn from 'yellow' to 'blue'. Unplugged/Replugged...nada. I called BLH and they referred me to 'Tech 2 Door' 217-725-6510. I made an appointment with them for Monday at 330pm. If something opens up before then, he'll give me a call. I was on his phone and I believe I talked to him a few years ago...I remember that he specializes in 'seniors'.

Gas fireplace gave out yesterday and now the computer....but Buddy is doing fine.

Switched to downstairs and watched 'NOCTURNAL ANIMALS' (Netflix). From the novel, 'TONY AND SUSAN' and I know where that one is on the shelves and I want to reread it soon. Demented thugs pull over and carjack a couple and their teenage daughter on a dark West Texas night. But this violent incident of rape and murder is merely what occurs during a novel and the subplot of the film is the changing feelings of the woman reading the book to the author, a former lover; with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.  

1pm: Out for the walk. Parkview, Wash. Pk. Williams Blvd, Walnut, Leland, Wiggins, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 30 MINS... 91.9FM.

Read 'TONY AND SUSAN' (the novel of 'Nocturnal Animals) an hour and a half. 

Then ON THE TREADMILL FOR A MILE AND A HALF- 30" almost finished Joe Rogan's conversation with Joey Diaz.

In the tub CREASY and WRIGHT and listening to YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS, THE SOFT BOYS~' A Can Of Bees'.  This is the first Soft Boys album, and I always loved their second, 'UNDERWATER MOONLIGHT'. Love everything by Robyn Hitchcock. 

Then I watched the Netflix disc 'THE GAMBLER' (I also got the new 'EMMA' in the mail). An odd tale of a college professor and novelist also happens to be a degenerate gambler. Some clever dialog and will be worth a second viewing in the future; cult classic? 

" Two and a half million will give you a level of fuckyou for the rest of your life". 118 minutes- John Goodman.

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...
