We 7/12/23

 We 7/12/23

710am (2-B). 940am (2-B). 1215pm (2-B). 435pm (2-B). 720pm (2-B). 

Up 545am: Mostly sunny with temps in the upper 80's and the threat of extreme weather about 1pm.

Watched 'ONLY GOD FORGIVES' (Amazon Prime). Shot largely at night on the mean streets of Bangkok, Thailand the film is a strange and haunting Art Film about a mother and her two mobster sons. A local police detective takes his bloody revenge on mom and both of her sons; with Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas.

"According to Nicolas Winding Refn, this movie is a thriller produced as a western, all in the Far East, and with a modern cowboy hero".

925am: PC is 'Off' and will hit the sidewalks ahead of the fierce storms that should hit about 1pm. Seems eerily similar to that Thursday 6/29 when the power went down for a long time. (And much later in the day I learned that we had dodged the bullet once again. No rain fell on Wednesday). 

950am: The plan was to walk to Washington Park, Lincoln to Adams, {CVS- 2 tubes of toothpaste, B-Day present for Thomas (bowling pins: $10)}, Washington, Dickenson,  Monroe,  Fairway,  and up to 940....ONE HOUR 45 MINUTES...ROLLING STONES Playlist;  DAVID BOWIE Playlist. 

I needed another film to make up for the absence of cinema input during the recent power outage. 

Watched 'RUN RABBIT RUN' (Netflix). A young mother's five year old daughter thinks that she is her aunt? I didn't get it, but it was kind of a spooky ride mostly due to the location. Filmed in South Australia, Adelaide, Melbourne, Riverland, and Victoria. After watching a YouTube Review I realised that the woman had actually killed her sister and when her daughter reached the age of her dead sister, it was too much for her to take and mom went over the psychological edge.  

Total Film: "Sadly, a generic script doesn’t aid the film’s overall ambitions. A little less than the sum of its parts, Run Rabbit Run is ultimately more intriguing than outright terrifying."

215pm: PC is 'Off' and reading 'KATE VAIDEN'.

345pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE;  finished FRED ARMISEN on Blocks. 

440pm: In the tub with 'KATE VAIDEN' and listening to T.REX- 'The Slider'; WHO- 'It's Hard'/'Face Dances'; JOHN MAYALL- 'A Hard Road'.

More of TOM SEGURA on Theo Von

More of 'PERDIDA' (Netflix). I shut it down 20 minutes into episode #3.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. 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...
