Fr 11/19/21- Appointment for Affordable Quality Lawn Care: Mo 11/29

Fr 11/19/21
9am. 1110am (a pinch). 835pm. 

Up 740am: Mostly sunny with temps to mid 40's.

Watched 'THE LONG DUMB ROAD' (Netflix). A 'Buddy/Road' film that's a cut-above the usual saccharine sweet storylines of the genre. A kid driving west on his way to begin art school meets a quirky stranger who changes his life. The two lead characters were well written and the 'free thinking drifter' was right on the money. He might be suffering from bipolar disorder or just stubborn and immature; with Tony Revolori, Jason Mantzoukas, Taissa Farmiga, Grace Gummer (daughter of Meryl Streep and regular on 'MR. ROBOT'), Ron Livingston, and Pamela Reed.  

Then the final episode of 'WHERE IS MARTA?' (Netflix). A crazy trial from Spain that  rivals even the most ridiculous judgement from an American court. There were two different cases about the same event in which diametrically opposed scenarios were posited as fact. Obviously, anyone who was at the apartment on the night of the murder should have been prosecuted as co conspirators.  "Once in a while, tell the truth so that people believe you when you lie"..."Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you are tired"..."God does not believe in our God"..."It's not how old you are, but how you are old"...- Jules Renard. Renard is the shit! He was an early 20th century French writer who easily matched any of the humourous insights offered by Ben Franklin or Mark Twain. 

120pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. 

130pm: 5 MILES AT 3.6 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and finished TAYLOR TOMLINSON on WHISKEY GINGER and began a SARAH SILVERMAN podcast. 

Made appointment AFFORDABLE QUALITY LAWN CARE...Mo 11.29.21 Probably $250

On the couch and finished reading 'THE SICILIAN '. 

505pm: 2 MILES AT 3.6 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and more of THEO VON onJ.R.E.

6pm: In the tub to begin 'A MONTH OF SUNDAYS ' by  John Updike and listening to ERIC DOLPHY, 'Black Tie White Noise'- BOWIE.

***Tom Segura on a podcast said that parking garage spaces in NYC go for $800 a month. 

The Netflix disc that I reported 'unreceived' yesterday arrived today.
'TRIGGER POINT' (Netflix). A gritty 'B-Movie' about a special operative who broke under torture and revealed the identies of his team. They were murdered and he tries to find out who orchestrated the operation; with Barry Pepper, Colm Feore, Eve Harlow and Jane Eastwood. Filmed in Bayfield, Canada which is a very small town on the eastern shore of Lake Huron about 130 miles northeast of Detroit, MI. This might be the first of a trilogy and I would definitely take a chance on the next one.

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...
