 Su 12/19/21

825am. 140pm. 810pm. 

Up 640am: Bright and sunny with temps to upper 30's.

Watched 'INSIDE MOVES' (Amazon Prime). The film is openly emotional and embraces 70's Film Realism. The setting is a dive-bar in Oakland, California with a bunch of quirky characters and  a beer barrel of melodrama. Apparently the film was designed as a push for 'fair and equal treatment' for the handicapped.  A very early example of the 'Woke' movement?  "One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside"- John Lennon (was not featured in the film). Golden State Warriors are featured in the film and the team is still around today (as any person who follows sports would know, and I had no idea).

Began 'THE GIRL FROM OSLO' (Netflix)  A melodramatic tale of kidnapping. A college aged girl from Norway goes to Israel to meet her biological father and is taken hostage by ISIS. Mom and dad to the rescue, and I'll binge on this one when I visit Planet Fitness later this afternoon.  

1250pm: PC is 'Off' and will begin the Weekly Cleaning and then off to Planet Fitness.

2pm: To Planet Fitness. 45" Cross.  45" TREADMILL. 30" BIKE.  30" TREADMILL.  30" CROSS.  Watched 2 episodes of 'THE GIRL FROM OSLO' (NETFLIX), and MARK NORMAND on WHISKEY GINGER , more of JOHN DENNEHY on SKEPTIC TANK,  and another episode of 'THE GIRL FROM OSLO' (NETFLIX).

520PM: Ace hardware, but it was closed?!? I got $30 of gas across the street. 

6pm: In the tub with 'ILLEGAL' and listening to FREDDY HUBBARD.

Watched 'TWELVE' (Amazon Prime- This got a '22' on Metascore at IMDB...ROLLING STONE-"Sorry, no XOXO for this slick, hollow hooey"...VARIETY-"Can't decide if it's a cautionary tale or a lifestyle catalog").  This was not a good movie, but merely a ripoff (homage?) to 'BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY' by Jay McInerney or maybe 'LESS THAN ZERO' by Bret Easton Ellis . Another tale of rich kids on the upper east side of Manhattan who demand their recreational drugs, their personal freedoms, and their parents' money. Mayhem ensues. The title refers to a new and exotic drug that's irrelevant to the story and the movie is based on a novel by Nick McDonell. The book might be better and couldn't be any worse; with Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, 50 Cent, Ellen Barkin, and Kiefer Sutherland as the narrator (voice).

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...
