 Tu 3/9/21

845am. 905pm. 

Up 730am: Partly sunny, breezy and temps to about 70.

Wrote up 'LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR' by Judith Rossner for the blog.

Watched 'SOPHIE SCHOLL' (Hoopla). A film about the 'White Rose' student movement in Nazi Germany near the end of WWII, but the central focus (and most interesting part of the film) is the interrogation of Sophie Scholl by her Nazi inquisitor. Both are convinced that they are right and know what's best for Germany. Sophie champions free speech and feels that it's imperative that the German people have a right to know the true nature of Nazism. While her interrogator believes that Hitler's policies are essential for Germany to lead the world and stop the spread of Communism. The 'White Rose' group circulated thousands and thousands of anti-Nazi leaflets throughout Germany during the war. Sophie Scholl was only 21 years old and was found guilty of high treason by the People's Court and executed (by guillotine) the same day, 22 February 1943.

12pm: read '3 SECONDS' in the living room until 130pm...ON THE TREADMILL... 4 1/4 Miles... Watched about half of 'MANGROVE' (Amazon Prime). First in a series of films about black life in London in the late 70's early 80's.

3pm: Aired up the bike tires and out for the first ride of the season. Twice around the 'Lynnhaven Loop' : 40 Mins. 

***Opened a living room and kitchen window. 

Then read more of '3 Seconds' in the living room. Swiped the front window and storm door. Cleaner, but streaked. 

6pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles and watched part of an ARI SHAFFIR podcast. 

In the tub with '3 SECONDS (Kindle) and listening to YO LA TENGO. Only two beers tonight...tired. 

I watched Desi Lydic and Ronny Chieng- The Daily Show. Comedy sketches about topics in the news. I did about 20" and then watched the next two episodes of 'UTOPIA' (Amazon Prime).

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...
