We 5/19/21

 We 5/19/21

9am. 1145am (3 hits). 430pm. 905pm. 

Up 710am: Cloudy, breezy, and much warmer. Temps to upper 70's.

***The water has receded somewhat or the seepage ended. I vacuumed the wet areas and opened the windows. This is one of the least damaging 'floods', but it still averages about once every twelve months and this is unacceptable.  

I watched 'IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE' (Tubi). This film was available on Kanopy, but it wouldn't play. I wonder if the library is having trouble with this site because it's unlikely that I'm the only one. It's a superior film noir with a slight bit of humor. A Norwegian snow plow driver's son is killed by a drug gang and he exacts his revenge. The title refers to the way the film is structured. Each chapter is named for a man who is killed..."in the order of disappearance'. The town where the film was shot only has just over 200 people and is 225 miles north of Oslo, Norway.  

Then the next episode of 'UTOPIA' (Amazon Prime). 'The Recap' couldn't even begin to explain the intricacies of the plot. As near as I can tell, it concerns two violent groups looking for the second edition of a mysterious graphic novel.

115pm: Downstairs to begin moving books and shelves. The plan is to see how far I can get (I'd like to move out all of the free standing bookshelves) and then go for a long walk. 

***I removed everything from the shelves on the street wall. It was more like 'packing' in that I only have so much area. It's all in one corner and tightly 'packed'. 115pm~415pm.

440pm: The Walk... Parkview, Wash. Pk. South, Wiggins, Outer Park, Park, Leland, Walnut, northside of panhandle, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway and up to 940...1 HOUR AND 50 MINS. Mp3... BLUES FOR ALLAH, MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. 

In the tub with TEVIS and listening to ARTHUR LEE & LOVE, AUDIOSLAVE.

Decided to let the downstairs dry another day and upstairs to watch 'THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW' (Netflix). Top heavy with star talent, yet it still doesn't work. An agoraphobic, alcoholic, drug addled woman lives in an urban townhouse and spies on the neighbors across the street. She witnesses some real violence, but the 'who', 'how', and 'why' are frenetic and wildly improbable;  with Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Fred Hechinger, and Wyatt Russell.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. 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...
