We 3/30/22

 We 3/30/22

805am. 1230pm. 715pm. 

Up 6am: Rain began after 9am and continued throughout the day with some strong winds and thunderstorms and temps to low 60's.

Watched 'IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE' (Kanopy). I had seen this one before but it was well worth a second look. A snowplow driver in remote Norway learns that his son has been killed. The authorities say it was a drug overdose but dad discovers that he was murdered by a drug trafficking operation. He gets his revenge.  The film boasts one of the funniest villains that I've seen in a long time and The Count (a 'bakery magnate') is as silly as he is terrifying.  Lots of intense snow plow driving; with Stellan Skarsgard, Bruno Ganz, and Pal Sverre Hagen (The Count). Set in Beitostølen, Norway- a city of 247 residents.

***I forgot to put out The Big Blue Barrel. 

***Scheduled an appointment at Green on Dirksen for the 'engine software update' for Tuesday, 4/5 at 130pm. Should take an hour and a half. 

Then began 'THIS WORLD WON'T BREAK' (Amazon Prime)- continued at Esporta. A guitar player plays the blues in very rural Texas and gets nowhere. In the end he dies in a car crash. This film was way too long and featured very dull guitar songs and the whole thing might be just a 'vanity piece' for the 'star'.      Filmed in and around Italy, Texas. 

1210pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for an afternoon at Esporta Fitness. 

John Lawson (the guy that bought the Honda when I bought the Elantra) came up to me while I was on the treadmill at Esporta. He was wearing a face mask and I hadn't seen him in two years.  He said that he has health problems but kept saying that 'you're working out too much' which translates to 'I'm working out longer than he does, so I should cut it out'. 

1240pm: 45" Cross.  45" Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30" Precor. Finished 'THIS WORLD WON'T BREAK, and some of a SKEPTIC TANK and part of a JOEY'S JOINT.

In the tub with LAWRENCE BLOCK and listening to BAKER GURVITZ ARMY; STONE THE CROWS- Live BBC.

Watched 'PUSHER' (Amazon Prime). On the mean streets of Copenhagen Frankie owes $34,000 to a vicious mob boss and can't catch a break. I had forgotten what a gem this was. Frank's partner in crime (played by Mads Mikkelsen) has 'RESPECT' tattooed on the back of his skull; with Kim Bodnia, Mads Mikkelsen, and Zlatko Buric. Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.

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...

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).
