 Mo 6/7/21

815am. 2pm. 935pm.

Up 645am: Muggy with temps to the low 80's and the possibility of rain is in the forecast for the next several days.

I watched 'GREEN ZONE' (Amazon Prime). The film makes the case that the reason for the  2003 invasion of Iraq involved 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' and they did not exist. Many reviewers felt that this was too politically partisan, but Republicans really did believe that they could destroy the Bath party and 'peace and democracy' would miraculously occur. This was a stupid and costly mistake. I wonder whether these facts  will be the historical consensus in fifty or a hundred years because I'm sure that many contemporary Republicans would like to see these truths permanently forgotten; with Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, and Brendan Gleeson. 

I wrote The Wrap and sent it off. It was mostly about the guy next door mowing his lawn and the house that was recently sold and power washed. 

1145am: ON THE TREADMILL... 5 MILES AT 3.4 PACE... Finished ADAM DURITZ on J. R. E., then began DAVID LEE ROTH on ROGAN. And finally more of KATHLEEN MCGEE on ARI SHAFFIR. 

Then I watched 'HIGH TENSION' (Tubi). A truly fine Slasher film and it more than lived up to its title- 'High Tension' from start to finish. Two young women spend a quiet weekend in the country with family and things take a bloody turn for the worse when a homicidal beast comes calling! I couldn't have guessed what was going to happen for all the tea in our local cannabis dispensary. Directed by Alexandre Aja who also directed 'OXYGEN' (Netflix).

430pm: Reading in the living room. 

6pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 MILES AT 3.4 PACE... More of DAVID LEE ROTH on ROGAN. Roth seems completely unhinged. 

In the tub with Vidal and listening to THE SUBDUDES, 'QUADROPHENIA' ~ THE WHO. 

****A refreshing downpour at 8pm. cut the humidity and will make the sidewalk flowers bloom. 

I began episode 1, season 2 of 'DIRTY JOHN' (Netflix). Another fine series...A rich California woman is sued for divorce by her domineering husband, but she can't let go and both sides of the toxic relationship are dissected; with Amanda Peet and Christian Slater.

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 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...
