 Su 3/7/21

9am. 350pm. 855pm. 

Up 745am: Partly sunny and temps to the low 60's. It will be in the lower 60's for the next several days.

I wrote up 'WINTER' by Len Deighton for the blog.

I watched the Netflix disc 'HOPE SPRINGS'. A British man travels to a town called 'Hope' in Vermont (filmed in British Columbia) to escape a failed relationship. The girl follows, yet he's already fallen in love with a local care-giver. Emotional mayhem ensues. This is a quintessential example of a  'date movie';  with Colin Firth, Heather Graham, Minnie Driver, Mary Steenburgen, and Oliver Platt. . There is a rest home in Hope called, 'The Shining Shores'..."Shining Shores- No, Whining Whores". The film is based on 'New Cardiff', a novel by Charles Webb ('The Graduate'). Filmed in Fort Langley, British Columbia; 50 miles east of Vancouver, BC.

***Randomly checking through my checking account at Heartland and found a charge to 'BA GENESIS 1347 West Cook'. I made that charge at the new pot shop on Dirksen after visiting Red Oak last Saturday. Why is the bank account tied to an address on west Cook?

Noon: Will read for a bit. At loose ends today.

145pm...Did the Weekly Cleaning and then raked some pine cones and branches in the backyard. It's Mow Ready! 

4pm: To the Monroe PO to mail the discs. Out and back via Edwards...ONE HOUR AND 45 MINS... Mp3~ BOZ SCAGS~ 'Memphis' , DAVID BOWIE~ 'Lodger', DEREK AND THE DOMINOES.

Read 'GOODBAR' in the living room.

630pm: In the tub with 'GOODBAR' and listening to GENESIS, 'Quadrophenia' ~ THE WHO. 

Watched 'BIGGIE: I Got a Story to Tell' (Netflix). The Life, Times, and Death of the late Christopher Wallace- 'NOTORIOUS BIG'. An interesting artist and he clearly had more than enough talent and creative genius to be an even bigger musical icon had he lived. I'm still not a fan of the rap genre- hip hop to a certain extent, but not rap...or much of it.

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...
