Su 8/7/22- Sound Bar Glitch

 Su 8/7/22

635am (gr/wh). 745am (2- gr/wh).  1130am (B). 4pm.(2-gr/wh). 545pm (B). 

Up 545am: Partly sunny, humid with temps to about 90.

635am: Walked to the PO box at Walgreens to mail back the disc and home by 705am (SEVEN MOONS- 'Robin Trower/Jack Bruce').

***When I booted up the living room PC I noticed there was no sound. When I used the Bose remote I got sound, but only through the TV. It's like listening in black & white. I am so weary of dealing with computer problems...

Watched 'THE DEATH OF STALIN' (Kanopy).  An extremely funny satire about the scramble for power among Soviet leaders after the untimely demise of Stalin. A great comedic cast and parts are absolutely hilarious; with Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Jeffrey Tambor, Andrea Riseborough, Paddy Considine, and Michael Palin. Nominated for 2 BAFTA Awards; 19 wins & 40 nominations.  

10am- 1002am. Trying to find out why the sound bar stopped.  I used the remote to turn on the sound bar and it worked!  I right clicked on the sound icon in the tray, 'Open Sound Settings'.

This is the option:

SAMSUNG (Intel(R) Display Audio)

This is NOT the option:

Speakers (2-High Definition Audio Device)

1015am: PC is 'Off' and I was going to finish the Peacock series 'THE RESORT', but I'll do that at Esporta later this afternoon. The plan is to read, then do the Weekly Cleaning, and then take the bike to Esporta. The anxiety over computer nonsense is draining.   

1135am: To ESPORTA. 45"Cross (no arms). 45"Treadmill.  30"Bike. 30"Cross (no arms). 30"Cross; watched a weird satire of QANON conspiracy theories- 'THE PIZZAGATE MASSACRE' (90"); more of SAM TRIPOLI on J.R.E., and a NEW SCOTLAND YARD FILES- An Indian woman is hacked to death on a London street. Her husband arranged the murder. 

405pm: In the tub with 'SAMARITAN' and listening to 'Truce- ROBIN TROWER & JACK BRUCE and more TROWER & BRUCE.

***Ordered laxative & incense: Amazon.com- $27.00.

Watched 'HOME2HOME' (Netflix). A documentary about a young man from Germany who bicycled all the continents of the world; Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Australia, California, Mexico, Panama, Ecuador....He said it would take two and a half years, but he needed more time. Lots of great footage of places that are far off the beaten 'tourist' tracks. 44,000 kilometers (27,340 miles), 761 Days, 41 Countries, An average of 89.9 kilometers a day (56 miles), 63 flat tires.

I began the first episode of a four part series  'D.B. COOPER: Where Are You?! (Netflix). Will definitely see all of this one.

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...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...
