Sa 4/29/23

705 (B). 945am (2-SB). 445pm (2-B). 710pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Partly cloudy & breezy with temps to mid 60's.

***Buddy barfed in his crunchies bowl while he was eating. This is the first time in seventeen years that he's done this, but within a half hour he ate some Friskies and seemed fine.   

***Donald Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a dumb man’s idea of a smart man.

Watched Netflix disc "C' MON C' MON". An uncle who works as a journalist/ podcaster takes his nephew on the road to interview children on their thoughts of the future and what's going on in their lives. The boy's father is in the process of being institutionalized and his wife cannot take care of her son and her mentally ill husband at the same time so Uncle Johnny gets to try his hand at parenting. Shot in black and white and I really wasn't wild about the film because the kid seemed very spoiled and I couldn't empathize with his character or how the family members chose to deal with him; with Joaquin Phoenix, Gaby Hoffman, Woody Norman, and Scoot McNairy. Nominated for 1 BAFTA Award; 14 wins & 54 nominations. "82" Metascore..."Nobody knows what they're doing with kids. You just have to keep doing it".  

I finished  'ROUGH DIAMONDS' (Netflix). This could be it for the series and although there are a few loose ends, I feel satisfied. The 'white knight' is reunited with his family and he'll probably be able to beat the charges against him. However, his Orthodox girlfriend will drop him and marry her Orthodox boyfriend.  And there is no definitive answer as to whether there will be a second season. 

1130am: PC is 'Off' and will do the weights and then hit Planet Fitness and drop off the disc at the Wabash PO. 

Change of plans: Too weary (tired?) to even get in the car to drive to Planet Fitness. I didn't sleep soundly last night and getting up at 530am was far too early, so treadmill it is. 

FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of JOEY DIAZ on J.R.E;  began ANDY HAYNES on SKEPTIC TANK. 

Finished 'DIMENSIONS OF MIRACLES' & re-continued 'THE FOOTPRINTS OF GOD' by GREG ILES 

355pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of JOEY DIAZ on J.R.E. 

445pm: the tub with 'THE FOOTPRINTS OF GOD' by GREG ILES and listening to SMASHING PUMPKINS- 'Gish' Deluxe.

More of JOEY DIAZ on J.R.E.- Joe and Joey smoking weed and jamming to Led Zeppelin & Soundgarden. 

More of season #6 'BETTER CALL SAUL' (Netflix). I finished episode #5- the halfway mark. I only have the vaguest idea of what's going on, but each scene is hypnotic.

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...
