 Su 4/4/21- Easter

845 am. 140 pm. 920 pm.

Up 730 am: Partly sunny with temps to the mid 70's.

Watched 'DERAILED' (Hoopla). A man meets an intriguing woman on his commuter train and they become friends and one night they visit a motel. Just after they enter the room, they're robbed, beaten, and she gets raped, but it's only the opening chapter in an elaborate con. However, in the end, the man is able to even the score and then some. I suspected that it was a scam from the beginning, but the film was much more clever than the usual 'revenge porn';  with Clive Owen, Jennifer Aniston, and Vincent Cassel.

Then watched 'PINK FLOYD- Meddle: Classic Album Under Review' (Amazon Prime). I had never heard of this album which was released in 1971, right after 'Atom Heart Mother'. The film is more than just an explanation of the album, but an insightful discussion of the band just before they developed their signature sound that came to fruition on 'DARK SIDE OF THE MOON', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Animals', and 'The Wall'. It seems this is the first chance that David Gilmour was given his chance to shine and Richard Wright provides the perfect counterpoint on keyboards. It's David Gilmour's best work before the recording of  'THE DIVISION BELL' in 1994. 

1250 pm: The Weekly Cleaning and then an afternoon at Planet Fitness. 

***Bridge closed for repairs and I was lost in the maze of Sherwood. 

Same trouble with checking in, but I made sure that I was on Planet Fitness Wi-Fi.

45" Cross. 45" Treadmill. 30" Recumbent Bike. 30" Cross. 

7 pm: In the tub with HARRIS and listening to THE BOX TOPS, ? & THE MYSTERIANS, THE YOUNGBLOODS. 

***Listening to 'Echoes- PINK FLOYD ('Meddle). Hallucinatory lyrics and some very trippy musical ensemble work.

Watched 'MR. BROOKS' (Hoopla).  A classy 'B-Movie' about a serial killer who is trying to stop his addiction to murder. He even attends AA meetings to curb his murderous urges, but his alter-ego won't let him stop. A careless act puts him at the mercy of a blackmailer and then he suspects that his daughter might also have his 'thrill kill' gene; with Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, Dane Cook, and William Hurt... "Would it bother you to kill a woman? No, an asshole is an asshole"...

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).
