 Su 7/10/22

710am (2).1145am (1). 345pm (1). 655pm (1). 

Up 520am: Bright and sunny with temps to mid 80's.

Check 'Notepad' instead of 'Sticky Notes' on the downstairs PC. I put Friday and Saturday's notes into the blog.

Watched Netflix disc 'BLUE BAYOU'. A young Korean man faces deportation after a minor brush with the law. He had been living in the United States for over thirty years and was married and starting a family. Because valid paperwork was not filed by his adoptive parents, he could be sent back to Korea after over three decades of living in the states. Subtext: If you were adopted overseas by American parents and raised in America you still might not be a US citizen. The movie walked the fine line between authenticity and melodrama, but I really liked it; with Justin Chon (writer, director), Alicia Vikander (EX MACHINA), Mark O'Brien, and Vondie Curtis-Hall.

11-1130am: Weekly Cleaning 

12pm: Downtown to mail back disc and send gift card. Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside,  Lincoln, Governor, Monroe PO, Edwards, Fairway, and up to  940...ONE HOUR AND 50 MINS...LOWELL GEORGE solo record; 'Electric Ladyland' - HENDRIX; 'Highway 61 Revisited' - DYLAN.

Reading the bio of NELSON ALGREN. 

350pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and finished NICK SWARDSON on THEO VON,  and more of BRIAN REDBAN on J.R.E 

440pm: In the tub with NELSON ALGREN  bio and listening to HUMBLE PIE.

Watched 'STATEN ISLAND' (Amazon Prime). A married septic tank cleaner, a deaf butcher, and an ambitious mafia boss cross paths and mayhem results. Not bad, but a little too arty; with Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Seymour Cassel, and Julianne Nicholson. Filmed in Alpine and Fair Lawn, New Jersey and Staten Island, New York.

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).
