 Fr 12/9/22

7am (B). 850am (2-B). 1130am (B). 155pm (2-B). 450pm (2-B). 705pm (B). 

Up 515am: Cloudy with temps to upper 40's.

Watched 'GRACELAND' (Hoopla). A strange and mysterious tale. Set in the urban slums of the Philippines, a driver works for a corrupt congressman and both men's daughters are kidnapped. However, it's really the driver who set up the kidnapping to get cash so that his dying wife can get an organ transplant. The film boasts a complex storyline and expertly portrays the desperation of life in a corrupt third world country; young teenage prostitutes on display in a 'house' dressed in school uniforms; one of the two kidnapped girls is brutally shot in the back of a car; the congressman publicly admits to his addiction to pedophilia. A '75 Metascore' at IMDB; 2 wins & 10 nominations.

Watched 'SKILLS LIKE THIS' (Amazon Prime).  On a whim, a young hipster from Denver easily robs a local bank and realizes that he's a natural at the game of larceny and this revelation leads him to the girl of his dreams. It's a mediocre Slacker Flick with only a handful of yucks and could have been so much better. Filmed in Denver and Arvada, Colorado. In 'Trivia' for the film: Rumor has it that Bob Dylan was one of the main financiers of 'SKILLS LIKE THIS'. 

11am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. However, since it's going to be colder tomorrow, today is the day to hit the sidewalks. 

 1145am: Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside,  Walnut,  Leland,  Lincoln,  Outer Park,  Wiggins,  Wash.Pk southside, up the hill,  Parkview, Fairway,  and up to 940...TWO HOURS...FACES Playlist; 'Save Our Parks'- J.R.E. 

Skimmed through an Edgar Cayce pamphlet 'Before The Beginning'- absolute bunk & hokum. Many years ago I read a lot about Cayce and I'd like to see more of his 'readings'. Then, back to reading 'CASS TIMBERLANE'. 

350pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and more of 'Protect Our Parks'- J.R.E. 

455pm: In the tub 'CASS TIMBERLANE' and listening to 'Lodger'/ 'Aladdin Sane'- DAVID BOWIE.

Watched THEO VON talking to a retired police detective.

Began 'MAMMALS' (Amazon Prime). A very classy dramedy about a world-class chef with a cheating wife (or so it seems). I wish this series was longer.

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).
