We 3/22/23

7am (B). 645am (1-SB). 440pm (2-B). 705pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Today temps climb to 60 & cloudy and intermittent rain in the forecast through Sunday!

Watched 'HAIL, CAESAR! (Netflix).  The film is a look at Hollywood in the early fifties as seen through the eyes of a studio head. He's got problems with 'The Talent' and 'The Commies' are about to 'Rewrite History'; Crazy Scenes: the (gay) sailors dance before they head out to sea (no dames), the pitch for 'the story of Jesus' to an assortment of clergy, a cowboy actor earnestly tries to portray a high society snob; with Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, Channing Tatum, Frances McDormand, and Jonah Hill. Directed and written by The Cohen Brothers.  

Watched 'THE INVISIBLE MAN' (Peacock-TV). A woman is physically and emotionally terrorized by her husband. He has a 'suit' that makes him invisible and he sets her up for mayhem and murder. In the end, she dons the suit and kills him, but how did she learn to operate such a complex piece of futuristic hardware?  I guess the film is more a study of what it means to 'gaslight' someone in an abusive relationship. The intent is to make his victim believe that she is the one that is losing their mind. Elizabeth Moss carries it off because she's able to look terrified and in shock for nearly the entire film. A deft piece of cinematic storytelling and a cut above the original movie from the 1930's.    

I had planned to walk outside, but the weather is still a little dicey, so treadmill it is.

1210pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill.

1225pm:  FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of SHANE GILLIS on J.R.E; began a JOEY'S JOINT 

Weights:  3 sets/  15 reps 

345pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished JOE LIST & DAN SODER on ROBERT KELLY. 

445pm:   In the tub with 'BROTHER ODD' and listening to MILES DAVIS- 'On The Corner'; SUPER BAD FUNK Volumes 3 & 4; STEVE COLEMAN & THE FIVE ELEMENTS Playlist.

More SHANE GILLIS on J.R.E.

Continued 'WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS' (Netflix).  I finished episode #2 and it feels like I'm on about episode #6 and a half because the episodes are so long. Great series and I'll re-watch season #1 on down the line.

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).
