Th 12/31/20- DEATH TO 2020 (Netflix)

 Th 12/31/20- DEATH TO 2020 (Netflix); a perfect retrospect for this year, and hilarious, too.

Up 835am: Partly cloudy with temps to mid 30's. Freezing rain begins late tonight and continues through Friday.

***I gave Buddy his second dose of the gel-pen last night and I was happy to hear him this morning demanding his breakfast. He's still hungry and upbeat and I hope I can continue the 'double daily' doses to get a handle on his hyperthyroidism.

Watched 'ORANGES AND SUNSHINE' (Kanopy). During the 1950's and 1960's British and Australian authorities conspired to deport over 130,000 children from England to Australia. Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham, uncovered this scandal and it's difficult to believe how this odd historical incident could have been overlooked. The British government finally admitted responsibility and offered a belated apology in 2010; with Emily Watson and Hugo Weaving.

1240pm: FOUR MILES On The Treadmill and watched JOEY DIAZ's Podcast 'THE JOINT' and my first time on Spotify with MICHAEL KOSTAS on The Joe Rogan Experience. 

Re-watched 'UNCUT GEMS' (Netflix). The second time for this one and I re-watched it because Joey Diaz talked about this film on a podcast. He said that when he grew up in Jersey City, NJ there were people like these characters all over the town and everybody had a hustle. Adam Sandler was terrific as a rage filled, overleveraged liar with a gambling addiction who happens to own a gem shop in the heart of Manhattan's Diamond District. A prickly portrait of a man at the end of his leash; with Adam Sandler, Eric Bogosian, Judd Hirsch.

I thought I might do the grocery shopping this evening or maybe pay a visit to Lazy-Boy to check out a dining room set, but I decided to wait. Tomorrow I don't think I'll go anywhere due to an ice storm that is on the way, but the weekend weather looks better and I can easily hold out till then. 

515pm: ON THE Treadmill... 2 MILES and more of Rogan's interview with Michael Kostas.

In the tub with RUSSO and listening to the PINE VALLEY COSMONAUTS.

Watched episode #1 and part of the next,  'SANPA: Sins of the Savior' (Netflix). Set in Rimini, Italy: Rose Island (1967) off the coast of Rimini, Italy.

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).
