We 1/18/23

715am (B). 1030am (2-B). 435pm (2-B). 7pm (2-B). 

Up 550am: Rain beginning later this morning and to continue through this evening with temps to upper 30's.

***First time to use 'Notepad' for the journal.

Watched 'KILL YOUR FRIENDS' (Peacock).  A scathing satire about a British 'A&R' (Artist/ Repertoire) guy at the fictional UNIGRAM RECORDS during the late 90's. It's a savage and cutthroat kind of business and the only concern is Profit and where Ambition is usually mistaken for Talent. It's an excellent concept for a film yet I can understand the lack of decent reviews. However, I found some of it was hilariously funny; with Nicholas Hoult, James Corden (LATE, LATE NIGHT), Georgia King, and Craig Roberts.  '45 Metascore'. 

Watched 'FRANCES HA' (Netflix). Set in contemporary NYC, a young woman of twenty-seven is stuck in a rocky transition from late adolescence to adulthood. And even at the end of the film, she's still not a grownup, but maybe that's the point of the film.  Acceptance of who you are is more important than becoming what others expect you to be. Title Explained: in the last scene, she gets her Brooklyn 'home' and only her first name and the last two letters of her last name fit on her apartment mail slot; with Greta Gerwig, Michael Zegen (THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL), Grace Gummer (daughter of Meryl Streep), and Adam Driver. Directed by Noah Baumbach. 1 win & 49 nominations; '82 Metascore'. 

1225pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. 

1240pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished ANDREW SANTINO on J.R.E;  and a TUESDAYS WITH STORIES (Mark stopped the show to shit).

Reading 'DETOUR'

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

350pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT began a JOEY'S JOINT. 

445pm:  In the tub with 'DETOUR' and listening to 'THE WELLSPRING CONSPIRACY'; THE NIRVANA Playlist. 

***I noticed a folder on the downstairs PC that detailed my last colonoscopy in late January of 2020. Interesting. The constipation incident was several years earlier and it appears that the eggs did the trick.

Watched the end of JOEY'S JOINT on YouTube

More of 'VICTIM NUMBER 8' (Netflix). Only one more episode to go and I hope that there is a satisfying ending. I haven't looked to see if there will be a season #2 because if I knew there was more it would be kind of a letdown. 

Began an interview with Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson on YouTube.

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). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
