We 2/9/22


We 2/9/22

840am. 1235pm (a pinch). 530pm (a pinch). 740pm. 

Up 645am: Mostly sunny with temps to about 40. Westview is a crunchy and slushy mess.

Wrote up 'WE CAN BUILD YOU' Philip K. Dick for the blog. 

During the middle of the film I tried to register at Maribis on Lindbergh. What is a 'government ID'? What a dumb website and I couldn't find a proper inventory of what is contained on the site. On the PC and phone you could only browse through the entire store, but it would work on the Chromebook. Why? (Later when I visited the store I learned that 'government ID' means you take a photo of your driver's license, or any other form of accepted ID, and upload it to Maribis. No fucking thanks. 

Watched 'EX MACHINA' (Hoopla). It's beautifully shot and has an intellectual and engaging plot. I had seen this when it first came out and well worth a second look; Domhnall Gleeson (son of Brendan Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Sonoya Mizuno, and Oscar Isaac. The film was mentioned on J.R.E. with Steven Pinker.

'The Turing Test'- To determine if a machine can think. Three subjects isolated at different locations; 1) evaluator, 2) human, 3) machine. The evaluator would listen to a conversation between the machine and the human. If he could not tell the machine from the human, then the machine has passed the test. 

1215pm: Called the pot shop on Lindbergh and made sure that the 'G Purps' and 'Hazmat OG' were in stock and the plan is to hit the bank, the pot shop, and then do a workout at Planet Fitness. 

Maribis: A half dozen cars in the huge parking lot and this includes the employees. A 'Cash Only' business and big signs- 'ATM OUT OF ORDER'.  They want you to upload a copy of your 'Government ID' (which means Driver's License) in order to register on the website. This joint ain't gonna be open very much longer....Too Bad. 

130pm on the machines at Planet Fitness. 45" Cross.  45" Treadmill.  30" Bike.  30" Treadmill.  30"Cross and watched 'THE HANGOVER' (NETFLIX). At least the second time through this one, and always funny in very predictable ways, more of AKAASH SINGH on J.R.E., and began a JOEY'S JOINT. 

630pm: In the tub with 'THE WHITE ALBUM' and listening to ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND.

Watched 'DONOVAN'S ECHO' (Amazon Prime). An old black man is tapping into 'Deja Vu on Future Events'. He was a brilliant mathematician who worked on the Manhattan Project and the guilt destroyed his family life. Not as corny as it sounds. 

And finished episode 6 of season 2 'NARCOS- Mexico' (Netflix). 

***Watch 'The Switch' IMDB

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...
