Th 3/18/21- Wellness Visit Dr. Ellison: 1pm.
920am. 455pm. 920pm.
Up 830am: Rain and windy all day with temps to 40's.
Watched more of 'DEALER' (Netflix). It seemed like an authentic 'trip through da hood' with a real gang from Marseilles. A novel use of 'Found Footage' (CLOVERFIELD) style of filmmaking and the ten minute episodes only added to the edginess.
Watched the first episode of 'THE AGE OF SAMURAI' (Netflix). The American Civil War lasted four years and Japan's battle for reunification lasted a hundred and fifty years. Generations of war would dramatically alter their national character.
1240pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for the Wellness Visit. Left for the visit at 1220pm. A male nurse did the weight/blood pressure part. Dr. Ellison came in and I talked about my ears (wax buildup/hearing loss) , beginning workouts, iron pills, magnesium pills. He said that it would be OK to take the free hearing test at Beltone. He also said that there was no record of whether I had the second shingles shot. I stopped at Walgreens on the way home and they had a record of the booster.
****When I left the doctor I went down 19th and noticed Brandenburg's car in the drive. They were doing some work on the house before they took Jonas to his therapy near Schnuck's on Iles.
3pm: ON THE TREADMILL....4 1/2 Miles....Watched an episode of the Kal Penn series on Amazon Prime 'THIS GIANT BEAST THAT IS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY'- Does big money transform people into dicks or do dicks inherently make big money? Then began THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE interview with NATE BARGATZE.
5pm: Watched 'JUST ADD WATER' (Amazon Prime). A very dark comedy about life in the unincorporated community on the edge of Death Valley called Trona, CA. It reminded me of films set near The Salton Sea. A guy works as a parking attendant, his wife is cheating on him with his brother, and a local gang is shaking down the town. The town stands tall, the bad guys get their comeuppance, and the good guy gets a new girl...his high school sweetheart; with Dylan Walsh, Jonah Hill, Danny DeVito, and Melissa McCarthy.
7 pm: Running late, so no second walk on the treadmill. In the tub with 'WATERWORKS' and skimmed to the end of the book. It was interesting, but I just felt I hadda move on down the line. Listened to ART BLAKELY/ MILES DAVIS autopay.
Watched 'PUNK LIKE ME' (Amazon Prime). A rich guy 'pays'(?) to get his band booked on the Vans Warped Tour. They admitted that they were not a 'band', but it's not clear how they got on the tour in the first place. They repeat it like a mantra..."If you're over twenty five you're not qualified to have an opinion on the music", yet these guys are almost 40 and they're begging the crowd for a positive response. "Carne Asada"- A Mexican dish of grilled meat cut into thin strips and the name of their 'fake' band.
And a little of 'THE DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS' (Pluto).
