Su 3/21/21- First Time To Planet Fitness In A Year!

 Su 3/21/21

940 am. 915pm. 1055pm. 

Up 8am: Mostly sunny, breezy with temps to mid 60's.

***I successfully downloaded Windows Updates/ March on the downstairs PC. It ran all night and this morning I did the 'Restart'. No problems except it takes an inordinate amount of time and I've never done one of these on 'Automatic' or when 'the computer is not in use'. 

Watched 'BEAST' (Amazon Prime). I found this film and 'THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY' in my Kanopy queue that were on Amazon Prime. Set in contemporary time on the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands (Guernsey). A young woman with a troubled past falls for a local 'bad boy'. A serial killer is active on the island and is her new boyfriend the murderer? A believable romance between two rather raw and unpolished individuals. Some fine acting by Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, and Geraldine James.

***Began the Windows Updates on the living room PC and they successfully downloaded while I was on the treadmill.

Started 'YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED TOO' (Amazon Prime). But watched it on the treadmill (1245 pm)... 4 1/2 Miles.. . When Donald Trump built a new golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland he promised 'greatness again', but all the people of Scotland got was empty promises. And one 90 year old woman had her water turned off. Trump enterprises admitted that they broke the pipe, but years later the water was still off. 10" remain (finished at Planet Fitness). 

Did The Weekly Cleaning and then to 3 pm to Planet Fitness...30" Cross... 30" Recumbent Bike... 30" Cross... 30" Bike. 2 HOURS TOTAL. 

Home to finish "THE INNOCENT" by Ian McEwan.

In the tub with 'PERPETUAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL PEACE'  by Gore Vidal and listening to DEERHUNTER, YEASAYER. 

Watched '10 ITEMS OR LESS' (Amazon Prime). A kind of Vanity Project for Morgan Freeman. He plays an actor who is left in Carson, CA while scouting a potential film. While waiting for the driver to return, he meets an enchanting Spanish women and they go on an adventure to get her out of the supermarket and into an office job. Very strange and not that funny, but more wryly romantic. It's definitely not the Morgan Freeman that you'd expect and in the 'Trivia Section' it said that Freeman was trying to shed his 'gravitas' image.  

And then I finished the last half hour of 'GLADIATOR' (Amazon Prime). Russell Crowe as the General/Slave/Gladiator/ Roman Hero. Actually I liked it way more than I thought I would.

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).
