 Fr 12/24/21

9am. 1130am (a pinch). 1250pm (a pinch). 735pm. 
Up 715am: Canker sore is still a problem. Partly sunny and breezy with temps to the mid 60's!

I was looking through my returned queue at Netflix (discs) and noticed a film that I don't remember watching from mid November. 'EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE' is on Kanopy, so it's first up for today.

'EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE' (Kanopy). I know that I haven't seen this one before because something would have stuck. A taut thriller about a psychiatrist who turns the tables and reveals his most compelling secrets to a young suicidal female patient. He does it to get her to open up, trust him, and 'cap the shame'. His questionable plan backfires when the patient's boyfriend takes his revenge; with Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Claflin, Veronica Ferres, and India Eisley.  Shot in Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, Washington.  

***No hang-ups or transmission problems with Kanopy. I hope they got the problem resolved or maybe traffic is down due to Xmas Eve.  

I began 'EMPTY METAL' (Kanopy- Still having 'hang-up' issues). 
Begin at 38".  Almost a student film, but it does aim high in the weirdness department. 

1230pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing to walk downtown to mail the letter to ATT Benefits. 

1pm: Downtown to the MONROE PO via Governor/ Edwards/ around the Old Capitol, and through the northside of the golf course both ways...2 HOURS...JAMES BROWN anthology, 91.9 FM.

Read 'THE HISTORY OF DISEASE' on the couch. 

430pm: 2 MILES AT 3.6 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and finished ARI SHAFFIR on Whiskey Ginger. 

530pm: In the tub with more 'HISTORY OF DISEASE' and listening to THE VANILLA FUDGE;  PETE BROWN- 'Thousands On A Raft'. This one qualifies for a true 'overlooked' classic. 

***630pm: Internet dropped off while I was in the tub, it came back, but only 6.12 mbps download speed. Might have to watch a disc later.  Too much Internet traffic? 
***710pm: On The downstairs PC I'm back to 112 mbps download speed. I wonder what that was?

Watched 'A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR CHRISTMAS' (Netflix). Harold needs a Christmas tree to replace the one that Kumar destroyed. Crazy mayhem ensues: they get a three year old high on pot, cocaine, and molly, Harold's dick gets frozen to a pole, and Santa gets shot in the head, but lives to smoke a bong on his way back to the North Pole. Another solid entry in the 'Stoner Film Genre'; with Kal Penn, John Cho, Neil Patrick Harris, Patton Oswalt, and Danny Trejo.

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...
