Fr 8/25/23

715am (2-B). 1050am (1-B). 605pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: More heat & humidity with an 'excessive heat warning' in effect until 10pm tonight. Rain in the forecast for late tonight and early Saturday.

***I downloaded Keri Day's book from Lincoln Library and a while later I ordered from Amazon another five pound bag of rice and the Spanish novel 'NADA'. 

Watched Netflix disc 'BAISE-MOI'. The first film that I've seen that completely incorporates porn film esthetics into a Crime Thriller genre movie.  The film is similar in many ways to the Hollywood film 'THELMA & LOUISE' only 'BAISE-MOI' is Triple X- Rated. It explores the dark underbelly of French society and features two French women of the underclass who bond over sex,  violence, and powerlessness.  They rob, fuck, and kill throughout the 87 minutes of the film's running time and it's an ambitious yet very low budget project that deserves attention for merely what it attempted. "Why can't consenting actors have real sex instead of just pretending"?  During the 'Making Of' you learn that both lead actresses had recently worked in porn films.  I watched almost an hour of 'Bonus Features' about the making of the film. Well worth a look and truly like nothing else.  

***"It's like explaining THE DEAD KENNEDYS to someone who only listens to classical music".

***I took a call and rescheduled my appointment with Agnes Fenner from next week to November 13, at 245pm.   

Began 'ALBA' (Netflix). Watched the first episode and this will be a 13 part series about a gang rape that occurred in the Costa Blanca region of Spain- 200 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline in the Alicante province along the southeastern coast.

1215pm: PC is 'Off' and it's another treadmill day. Far too hot to even think of leaving the house and the disc is on the mailbox because I should be getting another Netflix disc this afternoon...(the mailman pickup the disc but didn't deliver a new one)

***Looks like another severe storm will be moving through the area between 3pm and 4pm this afternoon. We Shall See... (another big miss)

***Oiled treadmill 

1230pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of BOBBY LEE on THEY MIGHT BE DRUNK; more of TIM DILLON on J.R.E. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 12 reps Dumbbells 

Finished reading 'NO WITNESSES'

510pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of BOBBY LEE  on THEY MIGHT BE DRUNK. 

610pm: In the tub to begin KERI DAY and listening to YARDBIRDS Playlist;  PAUL WELLER Playlist; ROLLING STONES- 'Made In The Shade' shuffled. 

Finished BOBBY LEE on WE MIGHT BE DRUNK

More of 'ALBA' (Netflix). I shut it down 18 minutes into episode #3. Another fine series set in Spain with great young actors and a compelling storyline.
