Tu 12/1/20- His Appetite Is Back!

 Tu 12/1/20- His Appetite Is Back!

***Buddy is almost back to his 'normal' self- hungry and begging for food at every opportunity. He seems to be gaining weight, but that might be wishful thinking.

Up 815am: Bright and sunny with temps in the upper 30's.

I wrote up 'GUILTY AS SIN' by Tami Hoag for the blog.

I made an appointment for an oil change at Green on Dirksen for 2pm today. The oil change is free and I'll pay for a tire rotation.

Green Hyundai:

 (217) 525-1370

I watched 'RUST CREEK' (Netflix). Why you should never rely on GPS. Would you rather have a room full of pennies or a stack of pennies as tall as the Empire State Building?

1215pm: On the treadmill for a walk of TWO MILES and I watched 'NOTHING STAYS THE SAME: The Story of The Saxon Pub (Amazon Prime). A documentary about a legendary music club in Austin, Texas.

I arrived at Green on Dirksen about 140pm and they got me right in for my 2pm appointment. I walked across the street to Penney's and bought two XL sweaters for me: $50. Nice and big. I got back to Green in an hour and the car was completed...and they gave it a free car wash. Their car wash is closed to the public because of COVID, but they use it for service customers. The paperwork says that they did a complete inspection and everything looks like it's okey doke for the coming winter.

Home by 3pm...Buddy asleep in my chair, but woke right up for another portion of Frisky's.

I watched the Netflix disc 'MISS YOU ALREADY'. This might have been delivered yesterday or there was an early delivery this morning. Our 'Hipster Mailman' hasn't been on the route in a few days...vacation?

It's a kind of weepy movie of female friendship. One of the friends is dying of cancer and the other is trying to get pregnant. A minor theme is 'WUTHERING HEIGHTS' and The English Moors...Strange tones, dark and funny; with Toni Collette, Drew Barrymore, Dominic Cooper, and Paddy Considine.

550pm: Treadmill... THREE MILES and finished the SAXON PUB doc and watched a SARAH SILVERMAN podcast.

In the tub with 'THE LIAR'... I gave up and ran out of gas on the novel and switched to 'THE GOLDEN MAN' ~ PK DICK ANTHOLOGY and listening to ORNETTE COLEMAN, and finished the SARAH SILVERMAN podcast. 

I watched 'DEAD MAN'S SHOES' (Amazon Prime). A brutal and bloody Revenge Film about a man who takes savage and barbaric revenge after he learns that his mentally challenged younger brother was both psychologically and sexually abused by a gang from the local English village; the second film of the day to star Paddy Considine.

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...
