We 12/9/20- Brandenburgs at Washington Park

 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.

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...
