 Sa 4/10/21

945 am. 325 pm. 1005 pm.  

Up 8am: Rain today and tonight with high temps only to about 60.

I wrote up 'AMNESIA MOON' by Jonathan Lethem for the blog. My least favorite novel in a long while, but I can't give up on Lethem. 

***Adam from Helitech and his wife dropped the contract in the mailbox; 11 am.   

Watched 'COP' (Amazon Prime). A brilliant, yet deeply disturbed LA detective is convinced that a serial killer is on the loose. The case revolves around the owner of a feminist bookstore who was abused in high school several years previously. The rogue cop gets his man and blows him away because he has the power. This movie might actually work to bolster a 'Defund The Police' campaign; James Woods, Lesley Ann Warren, and Chares Durning. From a novel, 'BLOOD ON THE MOON' by James Elroy. "Expectations are a woman's worst enemy. From birth she is fed romantic fantasies that leave her defenseless in a dangerous world."

1245 pm: ON THE TREADMILL...5 Miles and listened to a Grateful Dead podcast about the Dead's Acid Test at Fillmore West Jan. 1966. Ken Babbs and Ken Kesey. Then watched BERT KREISCHER on Joey Diaz's podcast.

330 pm: Watched 'FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER' (Netflix). A brutal and harrowing story of a family who lose everything after the Khmer Rouge take over in Cambodia, 1975. The film is basically seen through the eyes of a five year old girl. Directed by Angelina Jolie.

630 pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles and finished BERT KREISCHER on JOEY'S Joint and more of the Joni Mitchell interview. 

735 pm: In the tub to begin 'BLACK SUNDAY' by Thomas Harris and listening to STEPHEN STILLS, PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE, THE BLACK CROWES. 

Watched the first two episodes of 'THEM' (Amazon Prime). A dreamlike and lurid exploration of  'White Flight' after a black family from North Carolina moves to the all-white  neighborhood of Compton, California in the 1950's. Another 'must see' from Amazon Studios.

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...
