 Sa 7/31/21

920am. 9pm. 1045pm (a pinch).

Up 730am: Rain and clouds to continue through this afternoon with temps only to mid to upper 60's.

Wasted far too much time watching videos on Reddit.

Watched Netflix disc 'THE NIGHTINGALE'. Set in 1825 in Tasmania during The Black War the film concerns a young Irish woman who was an indentured servant to an officer in the military. She has served her time and wants her freedom, but he's an evil sociopath and rapes her, kills her baby, and murders her husband. She teams up with a Black aboriginal whose tribe has been decimated by the army and together they try to even the score. One of the bloodiest films I've seen in a while and it also presents several brutal rape scenes, yet none of the violence is gratuitous and only adds to the power of the film. Won 25 film awards and nominated for 37. A very classy film.

Then I watched the Bonus Features and YouTube reviews for 'THE NIGHTINGALE' (Netflix).

130pm: PC is 'Off' and will hit the treadmill...5 MILES AT 3.5 PACE...Finished AL FRANKEN interview with HEATHER MCGHEE- 'THE Sum of Us' (I reserved this at the library) and the next episode of 'JOHN GACY. Added Peacock app to the phone. 

Read/napped on couch.

535pm: Treadmill...2 MILES AT 3.5 PACE...Finished the episode of 'GACY' on Peacock and began another ARI SHAFFIR podcast.

630pm: In the tub with MCMURTRY and listening to DAVID CROSS & ROBERT FRIPP, DAVID ALLAN COE.

Watched another episode of 'JOHN WAYNE GACY: DEVIL IN DISGUISE' (Peacock)...."The dead don't bother me, it's the living you got to worry about"...John Wayne Gacy.

 And then a YouTube 'Vice' video about a journey to Colombia's premiere cannabis fields to get the seeds of the most potent strains.

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...
