We 12/9/20- Brandenburgs at Washington Park
Up 830am: Bright and sunny with temps to mid 50's.
Watched 'THE SUNLIT NIGHT' (Hoopla). Not a bad film, but not great. Sweet story of a NYC woman in art school who flees her family (actually they leave her...mom and dad are separating and her sister is getting married) to very rural Norway to take a kind of artistic residency. A crusty and semi-famous artist needs an assistant to work on his art installation which involves painting a dilapidated barn various shades of yellow. And there's also a Viking/Jewish funeral; with Jenny Slate, Alex Sharp, Gillian Anderson, Zach Galifianakis, and David Paymer. Apparently this film was savaged at Sundance, re-cut and re-released and this is the final product.
***During the film Janny sent me an email concerning Jamie's rather dire medical condition...possible tumors on heart and lungs?
'Donald Martin' is the name of the guy that lives at '904 Westview' who jogs and walks the neighborhood as much as I do. He made a post on Nextdoor.
12pm: I let the PC run the Windows Updates for December. Why is this continuing to be such a monthly pain in the ass?
1pm...met the Brandenburgs in the lot just north of the carillon and there was a fire truck and an ambulance. Never found out why. Walked half around the park and sat at The Shack and talked and talked. Felt very pleasant . Home by 330pm.
Read 'Drop City' on the couch for an hour and a half.
Then THREE MILES ON THE TREADMILL and I watched 'THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT' (Netflix).
In the tub with 'Drop City' and listening to BILL FRISELL, 'Vision' ~SEAPONY, 'Special One' ~ ULTRA VIVID SCENE.
Watched 'CATCH .44' (Amazon Prime). From the description at IMDB: "3 women are sent to intercept a major drug deal at a diner at 3 AM and get the money. Simple - save for Murphy's law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." I really didn't follow it, but some interesting acting and an odd repetition of the opening credits? Tarantino-esque shoot-em-up with plenty of scenery chewing; with Malin Akerman, Forest Whitaker, Bruce Willis, Shea Whigham, and Brad Dourif.
