Su 2/13/22

810am. 1245pm. 5pm (a pinch). 730pm. 

Up 640am: Cloudy with temps barely out of the 20's. Snow showers around noon, but no accumulation. 

Watched 'THE EXORCIST' (Netflix). An undisputed film classic and the costumes and authentic set designs make it a wonderful time capsule from the America of 1973. I had forgotten the crude and frightening medical tests that were given to Regan before the exorcism. This especially scary section of the film certainly shows that hospital testing equipment and procedures have come a long way in fifty years; with Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Linda Blair, Lee J. Cobb, and Jason Miller. Won 2 Oscars- 16 wins & 17 nominations total.

 Then I finished episode 20 of season 2 of 'NEWTON'S CRADLE' (Netflix) that I began last night and then 16 mins. into the next episode. 

12pm: PC is 'Off' and will do the Weekly Cleaning and then to Planet Fitness for the workout. 

105pm: To Planet Fitness. 45" Cross.  45" Treadmill. 30" Bike.  30" Treadmill.  30"Cross and watched the first three episodes of 'REACHER' (Amazon Prime) and finished TULSI GABBARD on J.R.E. 

 5pm: In the tub with 'STAR CHILD' and listening to 'Layla'- DEREK & THE DOMINOS 40th anniversary.

Watched 'CURTIZ' (Netflix). Pronounced 'ker-teez'. An account of Hungarian film director Michael Curtiz and his problems with the studio during the making of the film classic, 'CASABLANCA'. In 1942 the authorities simply wanted an anti-German movie that was pro-war and pro-USA. But, the director wanted a more nuanced film about regular people caught up in 'the winds of war'.  It's shot in black and white and unfortunately a little on the dull side yet still worth a look.

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).
