***First time using the new external reader and it was as easy to use as promised.

Watched Netflix disc 'LAST NIGHT IN SOHO'. A strange and ambitious film about Ellie, a young woman from Cornwall who attends The London School of Fashion. She's uncomfortable with life in the 'Big Smoke' and living with her other more experienced student roommates. The metropolis of  'Mod' London haunts her and she 'connects' with a female singer from the sixties who became a prostitute and began killing her 'johns' and decades later she becomes Ellie's landlady. It's not as complicated as it sounds, but the film really keeps you guessing and the sets, locations, and costumes were superb; with Thomasin McKenzie (she was only 18 when she made this film), Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, Diana Rigg (THE AVENGERS). 

***Dogs in the backyard. "Do you have visitors?". Apparently the old woman was not aware that her side gate was tied open. I noticed that they had smashed the plastic basement window and a fan was jammed into the frame to bring in some air. I told her that I'd close the gate and she said 'thank-you'. 

Then I watched more of 'HOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH A GANGSTER' (Netflix).  I shut it down with 1' 32" left to go. Maybe I'll finish this tonight. Not quite as compelling as I had hoped.  "I'd rather live one year as a tiger than twenty years as a tortoise". 

 A guy is hiding in a woman's bedroom and has to take a shit. He sees a big dog sleeping near the bed, takes a dump and tries to blame it on the dog... "That's a stuffed animal".

12pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing to walk downtown to mail back the disc and then over to 'A-1 Lock' with questions about changing the locks. 

1235pm;: Out Governor, PO box, A-1, and back Edwards...TWO HOURS...GOV'T MULE; J.R.E. 

A1: I walked in and had a disjointed and pointless discussion with the clerk about locks. I completed the order (2 locks with keys to both sides) and they will call to arrange the date and time.

410pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and began a JOEY'S JOINT. 

455pm:  In the tub with NELSON ALGREN and listening to a random REGGAE marathon. 

Watched a half hour bio of the Faces on YouTube and then began....

'NATURAL BORN KILLERS' (Netflix).  I shut it down at 45" and will save the rest of this film classic for tomorrow    ; with Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Tom Sizemore, Rodney Dangerfield, Jared Harris.  Directed by Oliver Stone and written by Quentin Tarantino.
