Tu 3/1/22- Raked Gum Balls

 Tu 3/1/22- Raked Gum Balls

750am. 1010am (2 hits/bong). 3pm (a pinch). 745pm. 

Up 630am: Bright and sunny with temps to low 60's.

Watched 'THE END OF THE TOUR' (Kanopy- will it count as February? I don't think so). A writer's road trip with a columnist from the Rolling Stone becomes an awkward bonding experience. It's a clever philosophical film about fame-crazed culture and striving to be authentic without appearing to try. Some of the most earnest dialog that I've heard and not the slightest bit hokey. Great footage of central Illinois during the winter that was almost like being there (wait a minute...I am there). 

***Kanopy is still a pain in the ass. Refreshed several times during the 107 mins and I sent another email to Kanopy tech support. 

And more of 'NEWTON'S CRADLE' (Netflix). I finished episode #24, and only five left. Muslim melodrama at its' finest. 

120pm: PC is 'Off' and will rake the gum balls off the front lawn and put them in the big flower bed in the back. 

130pm-230pm: Raking gum balls out front.

310pm: Parkview, Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Outer Park,  Lincoln,  Leland,  Walnut,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill, Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 50 MINUTES...MP3...'Agartha'; 'Almost Free'; 1st THEM.

515pm: In the tub with 'WALDEN TWO' and listening to THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND- 'Idlewild South'; RICK JAMES- 'Street Songs'.

Watched  'POLY STYRENE: I Am A Cliche' (Hoopla- borrowed this morning). A profile of one of the leading exponents of the first wave of English Punk as told by her daughter. Poly is the product of a biracial marriage and was never black enough for the blacks or white enough for the whites. Punk gave her a place to fit in. She never was a real punk but something a little bit more substantial. Themes: 'germ free', 'plastic', 'sterile', 'boring', 'hopeless'. At the height of Xray-Spex she lost her mind after ditching the band. Extreme bipolarism was a major factor in her life, and then she met the Hari Krishnas. Numerous trips to various psych wards and then she was diagnosed with cancer and died.  She could have been a real contender and an interesting yet obnoxious part of the film was how mean were the Sex Pistols. Sid Vicious locked Poly into a closet that he told her was the bathroom. She felt that the leaders of the punk movement, and Johnny Rotten in particular, never took her seriously. 

940pm: PC is 'Off' and an early bed time tonight.

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...
