 Th 3/11/21

920 am. 915pm. 

Up 730am: It rained last night and a chance of showers early this afternoon. Partly sunny with temps to mid 50's.

Watched 'DOWN IN THE VALLEY' (Kanopy). A strange tale of a romantic sociopath who falls for a troubled teenage girl. She lives in the San Fernando Valley of California with her father who is a prison guard and her shy younger brother.  Harlan, the obsequious psycho, believes that he's a cowboy 'miscast' in the 21st century and his 'real' destiny is to ride off into the sunset with his girl...and her brother; with Edward Norton, Evan Rachel Wood, David Morse, Rory Culkin, and Bruce Dern. Some nice acting in an implausible story, but that was part of the charm. 

1230pm: ON THE TREADMILL...4 1/2 Miles and watched 'THE GIANT BEAST THAT IS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY- Money Laundry'. (Amazon Prime) and more of THE CLOWN AND THE CANDYMAN.

Read more of '23 Seconds' and at 4pm biked THE LYNNHAVEN LOOP 3 Times~ 50 Mins.

520pm...ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles at slow 3.2 pace and watched an interview with Edward Norton on Larry King about MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN and some of HOW NEAL FEEL.

In the tub with '23 Seconds' and listening to JOHN COLTRANE ~'Giant Steps', and more Coltrane... 

Watched the first two episodes of 'UNORTHODOX' (Netflix). "...religion as a joyless life sentence..." Heavy drama within the Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic enclave of Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Berlin, Germany. In the opening scene, she escapes from the religious community, travels to Germany, and we learn her back-story in flashbacks. This is a noteworthy series.

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...
