 Mo 3/20/23

7am (B). 855am (2-SB). 1250pm (2-B). 445pm (2-B). 710pm (2-B). 

Up 520am: Partly sunny, breezy with temps to mid 50's.

Wrote up 'TILL DEATH DO US PART' by Vincent Bugliosi.

Watched 'THE MANDELA EFFECT' (Peacock-TV). A well done 'B-Movie' that presents difficult subject material, Alternative Realities/ String Theory/ Mis-Memory, but it's really about dealing with Loss and Grief. A couple loses their daughter in a drowning accident and dad develops a computer program that when fed into a supercomputer can overwhelm the current reality and his daughter can live again. Examples of the real 'Mandela Effect': 'Jif vs. Jiffy', Looney Tunes vs. Looney Toons', 'Oscar Mayer' vs. 'Oscar Meyer', 'Sex and The City' vs. 'Sex In The City'. I think the simplest explanation is 'false memory'.  

Watched 'AUTHOR THE JT LEROY STORY' (Amazon Prime). A young woman releases a novel as a memoir and it becomes a cult best seller. Not only did she use a pen name but she used another woman (her sister in law) to play herself at all public and private meetings. The idea is that you, as an author, have the right to fictionalize and call it a personal account. If the general public believes the false narrative is Truth, well that's their mistake.  The Memoir Genre is so popular and has nothing to do with whether it's perceived as fact or fiction. The important thing is that fans can empathize with the work and celebrate the character and whether or not it's true is irrelevant..."Your transgender fans will probably want to lynch you". 

Wrote a brief 'Chat' and I'm running late. The plan is to do the weights, walk through Washington Park, mail the disc at Fairhills, and then over to Brewer to pick up a couple more gel-pens 

CHANGE OF PLANS - Planet Fitness wins the day

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps 

105pm:  To Planet Fitness...45"Cross.  45"Treadmill.  30" Cross.  20" Treadmill.  20" Cross; eliminated some lemons on Netflix; began 'SWARM' (Amazon Prime); more of SHANE GILLIS on J.R.E. 

To Brewer for Buddy's gel-pens 

450pm:  In the tub with 'BROTHER ODD' and listening to MILES DAVIS- 'Get Up With It'; JAMES BROWN Playlist.

More of TAYLOR TOMLINSON on BERTCAST

Re-began 'WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS' (Netflix). I gave '2 Thumbs Up' on season 1 and season 2 is now available, so I'll give it a shot. Shut it down at one hour and two minutes into episode #1. Season 2 is eight episodes of just over 70 minutes apiece.  Filmed in Entrevias, Madrid which is the poorest section of Madrid, Spain.

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).
