 Mo 8/16/21

850am. 1215pm (a pinch). 240pm. 930pm. 

***I was able to reconfigure the 'Day/Date' on the Casio wristwatch using the online instructions. I have no idea how I did it, but I still hate this watch!

Up 7am: Another sunny day with temps to 80.

1030am: Someone is on the roof of the abandoned home next door. They (a man and a woman) are removing branches and piling them by the street for pick up. I wonder what else has been planned- probably nothing.   

Watched 'BODY OF LIES' (Hoopla). A 'by the numbers' espionage thriller that's worth a look, but no new ground is broken. INTERESTING PREMISE: The CIA operative on the ground in the middle east is run by his handler in Arlington, VA. who takes his calls while going about his daily suburban life; with Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Mark Strong, and Oscar Isaac, dir. Ridley Scott. The agent is wounded in an explosion and his local contact is vaporized in the blast..."Bone Fragments. Not yours."

Watched the last hour of 'THE WOLF OF WALL STREET' (Peacock-tv). I didn't realize it last night, but Jordan Belford is a real person and Stratton Oakmont was his investment firm and the film is based on actual events, however, I would imagine that it's 'very loosely' based on actual events.  

220pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a long walk. 
250pm: Parkview, northside of Wash. Pk., Lowell south to Outer Park, Outer Park west to Wiggins, and back to Wash. Pk., up the hill, Fairway, and up to 940...JUST OVER 2 HOURS...'Astral Weeks' and 'Born To Sing'- VAN MORRISON. 

Read 'ALL OF US' on the couch. 
630pm: In the tub with more MCGHEE and listening to CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL, ERIN HARPE & THE DELTA SWINGERS,  SCREAMING BLUE MESSIAHS- 'TOTALLY RELIGIOUS'.

I wrote 'The Wrap' and then watched 'UNTOLD: MALICE AT THE PALACE (Netflix). In 2004 a championship basketball game between Indiana and Michigan ended in a riot, and although the players were under attack, the media blamed the players and said they were 'hip hop thugs'. Another example of racism in contemporary America...'Land of The Free' and all that shit.

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...
