 Th 4/29/21

945am. 525pm. 930pm. 

Up 745am: Fog and clouds give way to a partly sunny day with temps to 70.

I wrote up 'MOBY: THEN IT FELL APART' or the blog.

***The second day that Buddy threw up his breakfast, yet he seems upbeat and relatively normal after he vomited. 

Watched 'MY COUSIN VINNY' (Amazon Prime- leaves 5/1). A spoof (farce?) on 'The American South' but some of the dialog was very clever, if a little implausible. Roger Ebert didn't care for it, but I liked it; with Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio, Marisa Tomei, Mitchell Whitfield, and Fred Gwynne. From the Baltimore Sun: "It's hardly brilliant. But it's easygoing and occasionally quite funny and ultimately satisfying." Marisa Tomei won Best Actress in a Supporting Role in the 1993 Academy Awards and the film got another 4 wins & 6 nominations. Filmed near Monticello and Eatonton, Georgia.  

***I got a phone call from Tracy and she said she was from Helitech and said that they can do the work on the second or third week of June, 2021. I told her that I hadn't located a contractor to do the drywall work. She had no idea about that; 618-213-8855. If I don't hear from Ryan by tomorrow, Adam said we will deal with another drywaller.  

1pm: ON THE TREADMILL...5 Miles at 3.4 pace and watched JOSH ROGIN on J. R. E. ~ China lab responsible for COVID19? 

535pm: Walk~ Parkview, Southside of Wash. Pk., panhandle, Northside road and up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 10 MINS... Mp3;  '18' - MOBY,  'Some Girls' ~ THE STONES. 

In the tub with TEVIS/BRUNNER? and listening to WILLIE NILE, WILSON PICKETT. Decided to read 'THE DREAMING EARTH '~John Brunner.

Watched 'THE CORRUPTED' (Amazon Prime).  A decent English Gangster/Police Corruption film about an ex-con who tries to go straight in contemporary East London, but his brother is involved in a massive criminal enterprise that will take them all down. Timothy Spall was great as the arch-villain, gangster bad guy.   Nothing related to the film, but an interesting observation: "Age is an issue of mind over matter, and if you don't mind, it doesn't matter".

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...
