We 6/2/21- Paid The Taxes

 We 6/2/21- Paid The Taxes

855am. 1120am. 345pm. 9pm. 

Up 8am: Partly cloudy with temps to the low 70's. 

***905am: A beautiful morning, sun and clouds with temps to upper sixties when I left for the county building (after a few tokes).  I parked at 8th and Edwards and walked through the Lincoln Home area blissed out...In and out of the county building; $1,400. 

Then to the County Market/Fairhills for the groceries: $88. Home by 1015am.

1125am: Watched 'MINORITY REPORT' (Amazon Prime). Not a bad SciFi/Action/Adventure film, but radically different from Dick's short story. Three precogs can read the future, but when one disagrees it's called a 'minority report'.  The film is an attempt to decode the dilemma of  'Freedom of Choice' vs. 'Predestination'. Fast paced and entertaining, but I would have preferred a darker and more 'Phil Dick-ian' sensibility although the special effects by Steven Spielberg were fantastic; with Tom Cruise, Max von Sydow, Colin Farrell, and Samantha Morton. Nominated for 1 Oscar and 20 wins & 91 nominations... A spot-on observation by Newsweek:

"Ferociously intense, furiously kinetic, it’s expressionist film noir science fiction that, like all good sci-fi, peers into the future to shed light on the present."

315pm: Preparing for the walk and reading some of 'THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER'.

355pm: Parkview, Country Club, Outer Park, Park, Walnut, Wash. Pk. north side, up the hill, Fairway...Mp3...'Beggars Banquet' ~STONES, PAVEMENT ~'Crooked Rain', NPR/91.9....TWO HOURS ON THE BUTTON... 

In the tub with OCTAVIA BUTLER and listening to LAST EXIT, THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS (London Neo~Soul).

***Tonight I'm only getting 48 Mpbs for speed and I saw the Internet cutout and then the 'pen and ink drawing of a dragon'. What the fuck is that? It is my most hated image and I don't even know if it Chrome or Windows or what.  Too much local usage? However I was able to watch the movie without any incidents. 

 'ACCEPTED' (Netflix). Some high school seniors who didn't get accepted into college 'create' a college and attract other kids who didn't make it into the halls of higher learning... S.H.I.T. - 'THE SOUTH HARMONY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY'. None of the movie was even close to being believable and not very funny; with Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Black Lively, and Lewis Black.

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...
