Sa 4/9/22

8am. 915am (1 hit/1 hitter). 1105am (1 hit/1 hitter). 1235pm (2 hits/1 hitter). 445pm (1 hit/1 hitter). 715pm. 

Up 630am: Sunny and breezy with temps to low 50's.

Watched Netflix disc 'A CALL TO SPY'. A great film about the beginnings of Britain's espionage network in the early months of WWII. Women were instrumental because it was believed that one would suspect them of spying for the simple fact that they were women. Based on real events and one of the main characters, Virginia Hall went on to become the first female agent in the CIA. 

***The disc was defective because it could not play subtitles and sections of the film were in German and French. I reported to Netflix that the disc was damaged but playable. It wouldn't allow me to describe the problem. 

Watched 'DEEP WATER: THE REAL STORY' (Amazon Prime).  Gay bashing with the cooperation of the police plagued Sydney, Australian during the 80's and 90's. Thousands of assaults and over 80 murders and unsolved cases were committed and local teenage males didn't even believe that attacks on gays were against the law.  

1220pm: PC is 'Off' and 35" left on 'DEEP WATER: THE REAL STORY' and preparing to drop off the Netflix disc and an afternoon at Planet Fitness. 

1245pm:  To Planet Fitness.45"Cross.  45"Treadmill. 30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30" Cross and watched 3 episodes of 'BETTER CALL SAUL' (NETFLIX)  and more of ARI, SHANE, and MARK on J.R.E. 

DOLLAR STORE- Up the hill for a 12 pk of NINE LIVES: 'Pate' (the only one left in the store. Buddy isn't the only cat who prefers 'pate') and a twelve of DIET MOUNTAIN DEW.

445pm: In the tub with 'REVOLUTIONARY ROAD' and listening to COLOSSEUM. 

Watched 'THE MONGOLIAN CONNECTION' (Amazon Prime). An FBI cop working a case in Texas must escourt a gangster back to Mongolia so that he can testify against a mob boss who was running an international sex trafficking operation. There was a very noteworthy and kooky knife fight in which the hero gets stabbed in the back with an eight inch (at least) combat knife up to the hilt, and he keeps on keepin' on..."There's something stuck in your back".  Lots of silly chop-socky, but still worth a look. Filmed in Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Kilgore, Texas.

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).
