 Su 2/5/23

735am (5 hits off of The Birthday Joint- a very inefficient and wasteful way to smoke weed). 1015am (2-B). 1210pm (2-B). 445pm (2-B). 705pm (2-B).

Up 605am: Bright and sunny with temps to just above 50.

Did the Weekly Cleaning and then watched the Netflix disc 'THE CHILDREN ACT'. A powerful and moving drama about a female British judge who adjudicates a Jehovah's Witness legal case in which a seventeen year old boy decides to refuse a blood transfusion because it's 'against the will of God'. The judge rules that the state must intercede to save the boy's life, and soon after the procedure the boy seems to flourish. Then, when the cancer returns he refuses more transfusions and dies. A beautiful ensemble cast and it's one of the most thought provoking films that I've seen in quite a while; with Emma Thompson, Stanley Tucci, and Ben Chaplin. 2 wins & 5 nominations. 

Watched the end of  the Netflix disc 'THE DUKE'.  The good natured old thief gets three months in prison, but he made the authorities look ridiculous. Later the son confessed to the actual theft, but the prosecution didn't want to deal with the old man again so charges were dropped. 

1125am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a trip to Planet Fitness/ Wabash PO. I will do the weights and this will be the first time in two days. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. & began TAYLOR TOMLINSON on NEAL BRENNAN- 'Blocks'

1220pm: To Planet Fitness. 45"Cross.  45"Treadmill. 30"Cross.  30"Bike.  30"Cross. 'THE PEZ OUTLAW' (Netflix)- An odd entrepreneur travels to Europe to buy Pez dispensers that are not allowed to be sold in the US. Copyright infringement or clever business techniques?; CRIME SCENE SOLVERS' (Amazon Prime)- A French teenage girl is kidnapped, raped and killed when out for a bike ride; more of TAYLOR TOMLINSON on NEAL BRENNAN; more of 'THE GRASS IS GREENER' (Netflix).

450pm: In the tub with 'STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND' and listening to ANIMAL COLLECTIVE- 'Time Skiffs'; GRATEFUL DEAD- 'Terrapin Station'; BOB WEIR- 'Kingfish'.

More of TAYLOR TOMLINSON on NEAL BRENNAN- 'Blocks'.

Began 'MUMBAI MAFIA: Police vs. The Underworld' (Netflix). A certain branch of the police in Mumbai were called 'encounter cops'. 'Encounter' meant that they killed gangsters- No apprehension, No trial, just shot in the streets and nobody complained. Riots in Mumbai during the early 90's left the citizens desperate for 'law & order. I shut it down at 108 minutes and that leaves 19 minutes to go. Only a small chance that I might finish this, but I will read about the social and political reasons for the riots.

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).
