 Sa 6/11/22- Library Book Sale/ Buried Cable

725am (1). 1005am (1). 11am (1). 140pm (1). 355pm (1). 710pm (1).

Up 530am: Partly sunny with temps to mid 80's. A brutal heatwave is on the way and by Wednesday the temperature could reach 100 degrees!

Wrote up 'LILY WHITE' by Susan Issacs for the blog.

Watched 'POLAR' (Netflix). Based on a 'graphic novel' and chock full of cartoonish bloodshed. An assassin for hire is ending his career but his employer puts a hit out on him so that he can renege on pension benefits. An odd premise for such a violent mess; with Mads Mikkelsen and some other people. '19 METASCORE' but I think the critics were trying to take it far more seriously than was intended. The end credits roll from bottom-to-top instead of top-to-bottom and this seemed more jarring to me than the whole movie.

Watched more of 'TWO SUMMERS' (Netflix). 

1030am: i3 Broadband said we're here to bury you! The Internet will be off for ten minutes so I decided to shut it down. 

1105am: To library; out Governor and back Edwards...SAVOY BROWN; GRATEFUL DEAD Playlist.

***When I returned to the Internet after the walk downtown it was Tip Top Magoo...

Steve the cashier? I gave him two trades and four paperbacks. That should have been $2 for the traders and two bucks for the paperbacks at fifty cents a piece. He said "6 bucks for 6 books". I gave him a ten and he gave me a five back. I gave him a one dollar bill and he still didn't know what was going on. I got out of there...He was busy and far, far over his head;  A Jane Austen and a William Burroughs. 

Home to sign them in to the system; 2 HOURS AND 25 MINUTES TOTAL. 

4pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and a SKEPTIC TANK with STEVE RANNAZZISI.

450pm: In the tub to begin THE RAVEN by Michael Connelly and listening to ELLIOTT MURPHY; 'Imperial Bedroom'/ 'Trust'- ELVIS COSTELLO. 

Watched Netflix disc 'BLOOD AND MONEY'. In contemporary Maine an old hunter accidentally shoots a woman while deer hunting. Later it's revealed that she was part of a crew that had recently robbed a local casino and soon the hunter becomes the hunted; with Tom Berenger. Pretty corny and the less than average reviews were deserved-'40 METASCORE'.

From the Boston Globe:

"A sludgy action thriller with an out-of-shape star, Blood and Money doesn’t have a lot going for it other than its setting: the uncharted north Maine woods in the dead of winter."

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...
