 Sa 2/26/22

8am. 1040am (a pinch). 8pm. 

Up 630am: Bright and sunny with temps to low 30's. I had hoped to walk today, but Westview is still snow covered and icy (8am).

***Borrowed 'REPOSSESSION' AND 'THE SUBJECT' from Hoopla.

Watched 'THE SUBJECT' (Hoopla). A tearjerker about a documentary filmmaker who is shooting a film about inner city youth.  During the shoot one of his stars is beaten to death yet he continues to film instead of stopping the fight. The dead kid's mom confronts him and forces him to take responsibility. A low budget affair, but some credible acting and well worth a look.

Watched 'DONNIE DARKO' (Kanopy).  I'd forgotten all about this wonderful film. Darkly funny, thoughtful, and totally different and an amazing cast; with Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Mary McDonnell, Holmes Osborne, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Patrick Swayze. 12 wins & 16 nominations.  "Weird, and I meant that as a compliment"..."What are feces?"..."Baby mice. Ah!!!!".

Videos about the film will be the first material that I watch while on the treadmill.

110pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing to watch YouTube videos about 'DONNIE DARKO'.

120pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND 1.0 SLANT and finished JOE ROGAN on 'Baking Bread', 25" YouTube video about 'DONNIE DARKO', and began MARK NORMAND on 'Good For You'.

Weight set 

Reading 'WALDEN TWO' and began 'COURTNEY LOVE'- The Real Story' that I found on the shelves. 

450pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND 1.0 SLANT and more MARK NORMAND on 'GOOD FOR YOU'.

540pm: In the tub with 'Courtney Love'- POPPY Z. BRITE and listening to BOBBI HUMPHREY; THE CRUSADERS; 'Cahoots'- THE BAND.

Watched 'NARCOWORLD: DOPE STORIES- Greed Is A Deadly Sin' (Netflix). Smuggling hash from Algeria to Paris. It's a speedboat from Africa, and then an eighteen hour drive to Paris. Then, 'NARCOWORLD: DOPE STORIES- 'Bullet Against Bullet'. An expose of the wars against the cops and other gangs in the 'favela' of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

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).
