 Th 12/23/21

930am. 730pm. 

Up 715am: Partly sunny, breezy with temps to mid 50's.

Last night the blood blister on my tongue is now a canker sore and I had to apply Anbesol several times during the night.

 Watched 'BORDERTOWN: MURAL MURDERS' (Netflix). A complex Finnish police thriller about a sociopathic serial killer who 'controls' others and makes them do his bidding. Also, an ethical question: Would the world be a better place without this particular pediphile,  racist, or homophobe? The lead investigator is a voluntary patient in a mental asylum. This movie is tied to a serial and I might give that a shot. 

I filled out the  ATT authorization to take a buck out of my account each month and I'll mail it tomorrow when the weather will be warmer and I'll hit the streets. 

1230pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing to do five miles. 

1245pm: 5 MILES AT 3.6 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT watched JOEY DIAZ'S Xmas podcast from WE 12/23/21 and more of JEWEL on J.R.E. 

I finished reading 'COTTON COMES TO HARLEM' by Chester Himes on the couch. The adventures of GRAVEYARD JONES and COFFIN ED JOHNSON. The ' Back To Africa Movement' clashes with the 'Back To The South' movement, and $87,000 is concealed in a bale of cotton. In the end, an old black homeless man had the money all along and escaped to Africa and lived happily ever after.

430pm: 2 MILES AT 3.6 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and watched BONNIE MCFARLANE on SKEPTIC TANK. 

535pm: In the tub to begin 'DISEASE AND HISTORY ' and listening to 'Low'- DAVIS BOWIE.

 Watched 'HOLY HELL' (Amazon Prime). A great documentary about the 'benign' cult known as Buddhafield and their charismatic leader  "Michel", "Andreas", "The Teacher", "Reyji", or his given name- Jamie Simone Gomez. He wasn't aggressively expanding a following, he just wanted several dozen people to worship him without question and for twenty years he had his coterie. However, when rumors of his sexual conquests among the young men in the group were exposed that pretty much ended his hold on the majority, but some of his adherents still operate in Hawaii. 

I heard about this film on The Joe Rogan Experience. This property in Austin is where Rogan was going to establish his new comedy club. Rogan said that the auditorium was built so that the Buddhafield congregation could watch their cult leader  dance. How could seemingly intelligent people fall for such a cheap and obvious con?

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...

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).
