 Th 5/6/21

920am. 1150am. 950pm. 

Up 730am: Partly cloudy with showers beginning this afternoon and temps barely over 60.

Watched 'HOW I LIVE NOW'. It was offered on Hoopla and Kanopy, but I had trouble with Kanopy so I ran it on Hoopla. A romantic 'Young Adult' film (from a graphic novel) about a seventeen year old American girl who is sent to live with her cousins in Wales. She doesn't want to be there and she feels her father only sees her as an obligation. And then during a terrorist attack or the beginning of an unspecified war, a nuclear bomb explodes in London. There is a martial law roundup and she escapes with her younger cousin to reunite with her new family. Soirse Ronan's (sur-shuh-row-nuhn) performance kept it real and never let the moderately 'soapy' material get too sentimental. Filmed in very rural Wales, UK.

Watched 'SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES' (Amazon Prime). A Latino indie film about a young woman who is called back to Brooklyn for the funeral of a distant relative. With the help of a passive-aggressive mother and a quirky sister, she learns to move on after the death of her cheating husband (Died: vehicular blowjob); with Gina Rodriguez, Steven Strait, Ana Ortiz, and Priscilla Lopez.

"Sleeping with the Fishes is a warm and funny film featuring a gifted and spot-on ensemble cast with an absolutely terrific filmmaking debut from Nicole Gomez Fisher." Gina Rodriguez was brilliant in ''Kajillionaire". 

215pm: ON THE TREADMILL...5 MILES at 3.4 pace and finished ANDREW SANTINO on J. R. E. 

Reading in the living room 

620pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles at 3.4 pace and watched a YouTube video with the director of 'SASQUATCH' - Hulu. 3 men in the cannabis industry are ripped limb from limb and Bigfoot is to blame?

In the tub with 'RIVERS OF THE BLACK MOON' and listening to BILL LAZWELL.

Watched  'PUNCHING HENRY' (Amazon Prime). A very funny movie about a stand-up comedian on the road.  He plays simple folk tunes with psychopathic lyrics and is kind of like a 21st century Steve Martin; with Henry Phillips, Sarah Silverman, Tig Notaro, J.K. Simmons, and Doug Stanhope.
