815am. 240pm. 925pm.
Up 7am: Partly cloudy with temps to 60.
Watched the last two episodes of 'UNORTHODOX' (Netflix). Esty has never used a search engine and she's told that she can ask anything she wants to know. So she queries, "Is there a god"? Her husband has never used a smartphone and learns he can access the Internet. He holds the phone to his face and asks, "Where is Esty"?. The four hour series is melodramatic, harrowing and fascinating- I loved it. Bonus Feature, 'Making Of Unorthodox'; 20".
Then I watched the first episode of 'FIREFLY LANE'. A friendship between two women that comes across as hollow and corny. One is brash and outspoken and the other is ditzy and has a heart of gold, but neither is very believable. This might be the only one for this series.
READ '3 Seconds' /napped in the living room.
250pm...Parkview, Wash. Pk., Wiggins, Outer Park, Across McA. to Whittier, north to Cedar and east to 1st, Across South Grand and west on the alley that is north of So.Grand, Across the park and up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940 just over TWO HOURS...Mp3...John Mayer Trio/ Eddie Hinton.
On the couch with '3 Seconds' and listening to LUNA.
In the tub with '3 Seconds' and listening to CHICK COREA~ 'Return To Forever', then more COREA and HERBIE HANCOCK.
I watched 'WHAT HAPPENED TO KEROUAC?' (Amazon Prime). Kerouac's public identity was confused with that of his beloved character, Dean Moriarty, the crazed hedonist in his novels. Fans, critics. and the reading public expected Kerouac to be wacky and loaded all the time, but he was actually a shy and conservative guy, and this is why he needed to 'self-medicate' with booze. The documentary was shot in 1986 and has lots of revealing and interesting scenes with all the ringleaders of the Beat Generation. Gregory Corso gets a lot of air time and he is one strange dude. Allen Ginsberg tells a story about his visit to Jack and his mother at their home when they were both drunk. They were watching a TV documentary about the holocaust and Kerouac's mother said, " And they're still bitching about that to this day", and Kerouac says, "Yeah, they should have gotten rid of them when they had the chance". Ginsberg chose to ignore them because he knew they were both wasted and just trying to get a rise out of him.
