 We 3/17/21

910 am. 245 pm. 950pm.   

Up 8am: Overcast and rain beginning late this morning and continuing through tomorrow with temps in the upper 40's. Almost 2 inches of rain expected.

Watched 'SAVAGES' (Netflix). A lurid and gritty romantic tale of a three-way love triangle made up of two guys and the quintessential California girl. This plays out as the two guys fight a Mexican cartel for supremacy in the US/Mexican marijuana drug trade. The bad guys kidnap the girl for leverage and the two guys go ballistic to get her back. There is a surprising amount of anti-cannabis propaganda in the film; pot use causes memory loss and suggesting that smoking weed is (horror of horrors!)....'drug use'; (Directed by Oliver Stone) with Blake Lively, Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Benicio Del Toro, Shea Whigham, John Travolta, Salma Hayek, and Emile Hirsch. "Social Engineering because there is no patch for human stupidity".

1250pm: ON THE TREADMILL...4 1/2 Miles and listened to a couple of 'Whiskey Ginger' podcasts.

Watched 'BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIE FILM' (Amazon Prime). Borat attempts to 'gift' his fifteen year old daughter to Mike Pence; black babysitter, debutante ball, CPAC Convention, "Let's give the Wuhan Flu Trump" rally, daughter has 'abortion' in truck stop bathroom, 'Get the baby out' to a counselor at women's health clinic, Rudy in a hotel room. A series of skits and while they are all somewhat humorous, some work better than others .   "My daddy is the smartest man in the whole flat world." ; with Sacha Baron Cohen and Maria Baklava.

620pm: ON THE TREADMILL...2 Miles more of HENRY ROLLINS on ARI SHAFFIR podcast

In the tub with DOCTOROW and listening to BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE. 

Watched some of 'I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE WITH TIME ROBINSON' (Netflix).  Somebody on a podcast mentioned this Netflix streaming series. I'd watched it before, but didn't remember it, and only did about ten minutes this time....Not bad, maybe another time. 

Started 'DEALER' (Netflix).  Set in the Parisian suburbs a video director enters 'da hood' to make a music video and gets caught in the gang's turf war. Ten minute episodes.

And then a little of 'OZZY AND JACK'S WORLD DETOUR' (Pluto TV).

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...
