 Mo 5/31/21- Met Carol Anne Rudolf, Computer Room

910am. 130pm. 855pm. 

Up 740am: Mostly cloudy with temps to low 70's.

Watched 'SILVER CITY' (Kanopy). A deft satire on government greed and corruption that mocks the conservative point of view. I would imagine that this characterization went right over the heads of the dummies on the right. Steve Earl 'AMERIKA V. 6.0' plays as the end credits roll; with Chris Cooper, Richard Dreyfuss, Danny Huston, Mary Kay Place, Tim Roth, Thora Birch, Maria Bello, Billy Zane, Michael Murphy, and Kris Kristofferson. Directed by John Sayles.

An insightful review from The A.V. Club- "Sayles' version of reality is grim, but it provides an enlightening, grounding reminder that there's a far more crucial world of politics going on behind the headlines."

I wrote The Wrap and sent it and prepared for an afternoon walk to Washington Park and points south.

140pm: Parkview, Wash. Pk. Northside, Walnut, South on Lowell, Outer Park... 

{I saw Carol Anne Rudolf~" Did you use to work in the computer room at the phone company?... See ya in another 20 years"} Laurel, Wiggins, Wash. Pk., up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940....TWO HOURS AND 20 MINS... Mp3... VAN MORRISON /GEORGIE FAME, SQUIRREL BAIT, ANGRY SAMOANS. 

READ 'TOMATO RED' and in the tub at 6pm with WOODRELL and listening to

WAYNE SHORTER, AFRO~PERUVIAN CLASSICS, and a podcast with Ari Shaffir. 

Watched 'BLUE JASMINE' (Amazon Prime). A fantastic film about a woman in psychological free-fall. She's clearly a narcissist, but by the end of the film, you empathize with her plight.  Great locations; San Francisco and NYC; with Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Sally Hawkins, Andrew Dice Clay, and Bobby Cannavale. Won an Oscar and another 55 wins & 81 nominations. Woody Allen: dir.

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).
