Fr 6/3/22- 1st Walk Listening to Amazon Unlimited Music

 Fr 6/3/22

725am (2). 1055am (2). 645pm (2). 835pm (1). 

Up 535am: Bright and sunny with temps to low 80's.

Watched 'ICHI THE KILLER' (Kanopy). Will the picture quality be better due to the faster router/modem? The picture hung-up one time and I cleared the browsing data and everything was fine. It is odd that any problem always begins about the one hour mark. I wonder if this is significant.

Takashi Miike's transgressive and groundbreaking classic in a digitally restored special edition.

From the film's page at Kanopy:

" This visceral, bloody, and often hilarious film follows Kakihara (Tadanobu Asano), a notoriously sadistic yakuza enforcer whose search for his boss’ killer brings him into the orbit of a demented costumed assassin known as Ichi." The story was more than a little confusing, but the narrative is not even tangential to the total experience and the costumes were bizarre and hilarious.

1030pm: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk and this will be the first time that I'll be listening to the phone exclusively- later, the lawn.

 11am:  Parkview, Wash.Pk, northside, Walnut,  Leland,  Lincoln,  Outer Park, Wiggins,  Wash.Pk, southside, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...TWO HOURS...Amazon Unlimited!  'Get Happy'; 'London Calling'.

145pm-23pm: Mowing. The plan was to mow the lawn, rest and then tackle the wifi adapter installation. I was too beat and didn't want to screw around with it- tomorrow, I promise.  

Reading 'LILY WHITE'

355pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and began RICKY WILLIAMS on 'JOEY'S JOINT  

Trimmed around the big tree out front.

 445pm:  In the tub with 'LILY WHITE' and listening to 'Down On The Farm'/ 'Time Loves A Hero'- LITTLE FEAT; THE BAND- 'Music From Big Pink'.

Since I didn't connect the new adapter, it's in the living room for tonight.

Watched 'SUMMER DAYS SUMMER NIGHTS' (Amazon Prime).  An engrossing film about a group of '20 somethings' who live in Long Beach, Long Island in 1982. The film is divided into the holidays of Summer: Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day and this is their last summer together. All of their lives will change drastically that first week of September, 1982. Kind of a gritty romantic soap opera and I really liked it; with mostly TV actors and directed by Edward Burns who also plays 'dad'.

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).
