We 10/21/21

 We 10/20/21

920am. Noon (a pinch). 210pm. 9pm. 

Up 735am: Partly sunny and breezy with temps to the upper 70's.

Watched 'VIRTUOSITY' (Amazon Prime). A ham-fisted blend of virtual reality and a 'police/action/adventure' film, but it's so over the top that it's more like a comic book than a screenplay. Some of the movie has a silly tone, almost like the Batman TV show; Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, Kelly Lynch, William Forsythe, William Fichtner, Louise Fletcher, and Traci Lords (as Media Zone Singer).  

I finished the last hour or so of 'GLADIATOR' (Netflix). Lots of 'hammy' scenes, but they were well written and believable and far superior to the 60's films of this genre.

145pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk.

  220pm: Parkview, Wash. Pk. northside, Lowell, Outer Park, Wiggins, Wash.Pk. southside, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940.   2 HOURS...Mp3...BILL FRISELL-'The Sweetest Punch',  BRAINIACS- 'Smack Bunny Baby',  BOWIE- 'Lodger'.

Read UPDIKE on the couch. 

620pm: In the tub with 'RABBIT REDUX' and listening to THE ZOMBIES,  THE HOLLIES.  

Watched 'THE PHANTOM' (Netflix). Two men are walking to a convenience store in a small town on the Tex/Mex border. They look very much alike and they were both named Carlos. One of them stabs and murders the female clerk, but the other guy is arrested and gets the chair. The police didn't do any investigation into who actually wielded the knife and they just pinned it on the man that they caught hiding under a car. The other man (the real killer) had killed before and even this didn't alert the police.  It's hard to believe that this happened, but goes to show that if Hispanics were involved, the police in that area of Texas in 1983 provided a slipshod investigation or none at all.

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...
