Fr 4/7/23- New Clothes TARGET/ WALMART/ SHOE CARNIVAL 

645am (B). 1005am (1-SB). 1150am (2-B). 155pm (1-B). 440pm (2-B). 710pm (2-B). 

Up 515am: Partly sunny with temps to about 60.

***815am: The results of the blood tests showed more white blood cell issues and he wants me to see a blood specialist. He doesn't see a reason, so he wants a specialist to check into it. They will contact me to set up an appointment. "You don't have cancer, this is just a way to find out the cause of the problem".

Watched the Netflix disc 'AFTER LIFE'. Immediately after death all people arrive at what looks like an abandoned factory where they are informed that they must perform a single task before they can take the next step in their 'lives'. It is Monday and they have until Wednesday to decide on their most memorable moment and this memory will be the only thing that is retained from their prior existence. A film clip will be made from this fragment of memory and it will be watched and then they will be released to begin the next phase of existence. What a novel idea for a film and very fascinating. Directed by Kore-eda Hirokazu. Criterion Collection; 7 wins & 8 nominations. '91' METASCORE. The film is from 1998 and I had seen it before but forgotten how wonderful it was.

Began the Netflix disc 'EXOTICA'. The Criterion Collection.  Another Art Film and it involves a few intersecting storylines; A pet shop owner is being audited by a taxman and the auditor has a thing for young girls. Also, the man who introduces the strippers at the gentlemen's club is entranced by a dancer who performs as a schoolgirl.

Today I hit the stores for slim straight jeans, running shoes, jacket, underwear and whatever else seems necessary.

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...
