 Sa 5/29/21- Mowed Lawn

740am. 905am (a pinch of White Widow). 310pm. 905pm. 

Up 7am: Sunny and breezy with temps to mid 60's.

I want to mow the lawn this morning, but the grass is too wet (at 740am).

Finished the last part of 'HARRIET'. Everyone knows her name, but very few know anything about her (me included). It seems that everything in the film was based on her actual life. Harriet Tubman's last words: "I go to prepare a place for you".

More drying needs to be done, so on with the show...

Watched Netflix disc 'THE GENTLEMEN'..."There is fuckery afoot"...

A solid Guy Richie project with sharp dialog and great production, but unfortunately the film only got lukewarm reviews. Although Hugh Grant's character recites the tale, it's a labyrinthian story with more angles than a goniometer; with Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Jeremy Strong, Colin Farrell, Hugh Grant, and Eddie Marsan.

Noon: Attacking the lawn...And done, including the sweeping in just about an hour. Anxiety about mowing the lawn is worse than mowing the lawn. 

Reading in the living room. 

320pm: To Monroe PO to mail back the discs. Out Edwards and back South Grand alley thru southside of Wash. Pk., up the hill, Parkview, and down to 940...TWO HOURS ON THE BUTTON... Mp3... ADRIAN BELEW, ELVIS COSTELLO. 

Reading 'THE 13TH' in the living room. 

615pm: In the tub to read the first short story in an sci fi anthology called 'MILLENNIAL WOMEN' and then finished  'The 13th Directorate'- Barry Chubin and listening to HAWKWIND, LENNY KRAVITZ. 

Watched 'THE WHOLE TRUTH' (Netflix). A young man is on trial for murdering his father and he won't talk to his lawyer. Then he claims he did it because his father was sexually abusing him and his father was physically abusive to his wife. The kid and the mother both have motive, but it was the kid's lawyer who did the dastardly deed. Another film with the emotional and realistic depth of a comic book...From Slant Magazine:" The Whole Truth ultimately plays as little more than the cinematic equivalent of a trashy airport novel that will grip you in the moment before it dissolves from memory immediately afterward".

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...
