Su 2/27/22

820am. 1040am (a pinch). 1215pm (a pinch). 740pm.

Up 630am: Bright and sunny with temps to lower 40's.

***Did the Weekly Cleaning early.

Watched 'REPOSSESSION' (Hoopla). An intelligent genre-bending film about a man who loses his job and his mind soon follows. He and his wife and daughter live in an expensive Singapore high rise and the guilt and shame of not being able to provide for his family becomes too much for dad. The 'evil' might be a real trip into an alternative reality or a manifestation of his inner demons and the film can be interpreted either way. I really liked it. 

Then I watched fifty minutes into the second installment (dropped last week) of 'JEEN-YUHS: A Kanye Trilogy' (Netflix). I'm still not convinced about his music but there is no doubt that he is a bright and clever individual. How'd he get mixed up with the Kardashians? 

1200pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for an afternoon at Planet Fitness. 

1230pm: To Planet Fitness. 45" Cross. 45" Treadmill. 30" Bike. 30" Treadmill. 30" Cross, finished 'JEEN-YUHS', finished 'HALSTON', finished J.R.E,, and more 'Good For You'.

Up the hill to Dollar General; 4 cans of Friskies (No Pate!) and a big bottle of baby oil- $8.00.

455pm: In the tub with COURTNEY LOVE and listening to LIVE LITTLE FEAT; HOLE- 'Celebrity Skin' and 'Live Through This'.

Watched 'SORRY WE MISSED YOU' (Kanopy). A British 'Kitchen Sink Drama' that deftly exposes the dark underbelly of 21st century capitalism. Mom's an elderly care worker, dad's a driver for a delivery service, the kids are acting out and the whole family is on an unrelenting and unforgiving treadmill to nowhere. The film is a cinematic plea to stop the exploitation of labor. "Whatever happened to the eight hour day"?    Directed by Ken Loach.

*** "Dyslexic insomniac"- Up all night wondering if there is a dog.

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...
