 Th 10/20/22

720am (B). 1025am (2-SB). 12pm (B). 340pm (1-B). 445pm (2-SB). 650pm (B). 

Up 550am: Mostly sunny and breezy with temps to the upper 60's. 

Watched 'MIRACLE' (Kanopy). Another fascinating film out of Romania. A young novitiate nun takes a cab to town for a doctor's visit. She sees a gynecologist and gets a different cab to return to the nunnery. This driver seems friendly, but  rapes and leaves her for dead. The detective on the case seems to be involved with the nun. The perp is brought back to the scene of the crime where the detective imagines that he's murdered the rapist. A slow and deliberate Art Film that is hypnotic and I'll be thinking about this one for a long time. 

Watched more of 'THE KILLING' (Amazon Prime). The murdered girl was going to leave for Paris with her childhood sweetheart later that night, but she was killed. The tension never lets up.

1120am: PC is 'Off' and then I'll do the weights and prepare for a walk around Washington Park.

1210pm: Parkview, Wash.Pk southside, Walnut,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 20 MINUTES...'Exile On Main Street' (shuffled)- ROLLING STONES. 

***Signal kept dropping off until I got to the park, then OK. I noticed bad reception in the car yesterday. The signal is still solid on my wifi so the phone is OK...I guess.

Reading '10, 000 SAINTS' 

340pm:  THREE MILES (Yes, 3!) AT 3.9 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and finished SETH DILLON on J.R.E and began ANTHONY KIEDIS on J.R.E. 

450pm  In the tub with '10, 000 SAINTS' and listening to Brett Morgen's 'MOONAGE DAYDREAM'; soundtrack. A slick compilation of David Bowie's extensive catalogue, but not nearly as 'cutting edge' of the original recordings. I checked to see if the documentary was available but it isn't. 

Watched 'PRESCRIPTION THUGS' (Amazon Prime). A Southern California filmmaker makes a film about his brother's addiction and death from prescription pills. The catch is that the filmmaker is also hooked on pills and booze. It's a family affair. Not a very interesting film, but it does make the case that the pharmaceutical industry is much more concerned with profit than wellness. How drugs are approved by the FDA was shocking. They only have to come up with two positive studies for a new drug and no one needs to know how many clinical trials indicated failure of the drug.
