Tu 8/1/23- Buddy Sick

 Tu 8/1/23

7am (2-B).  755am (1-SB). 1155am (2-B). 525pm (2-B). 750pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: A mix of sun and clouds with temps to mid 80's.

***Buddy was sick last night between 10pm and 2am. He didn't vomit after 2am and seemed fine this morning and ate with his usual appetite.

Watched 'CHILD 44' (Amazon Prime). In Stalin's Soviet Russia a child serial killer has racked up a body count of over forty victims, but the authorities do little or nothing because..."There are no murderers in paradise". When the killer is finally killed the police say he was a 'revenge sleeper agent' left by the Nazis to terrorize and destabilize the local Russian populace. The film was almost top-heavy with acting talent and although not as great as it might have been, still well worth a look; with Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Noomi Rapace, Joel Kinnaman, and Jason Clarke. Richard Price was a co-writer.  

***I ordered 'THE SECRET SPEECH' by Tom Rob Smith who wrote the novel that the movie was based on; Amazon Books- $3.98.

Finished the first episode of 'BELASCOARAN' (Netflix). More sizzle than steak but an interesting presentation. Each episode highlights a different crime and I might try something else tonight and keep the rest of this collection for later.

1205pm:  To Washington Park...Fairway,  Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside,  across panhandle,  Dial,  Cherry,  Lincoln,  Outer Park,  Wiggins,  Wash.Pk southside, up the hill,  Parkview,  Kenyon,  and down to 940...ONE HOUR AND 45 MINUTES; LED ZEPPELIN Playlist; TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND Playlist;  more of DUNCAN TRUSSELL on J.R.E. 

Reading 'BUTTERFIELD 8'.

***345pm-415pm: Hispanic middle aged woman & old white male sitting on stoop of Bob & Carol's old house.  Three police cars arrived and a discussion ensued. 

I clipped weeds under the tulip tree and dragged some pine branches to the front.

 435pm:   TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of MARK NORMAND on podcast by long haired guy front 'Flagrant' podcast- an insightful discussion. 

530pm:  In the tub with 'BUTTERFIELD 8' and listening to HUMBLE PIE Playlist.

More of the MARK NORMAND interview

Began 'SOMEBODY' (Netflix). I watched the first episode and this could be a doozy or a dud.  It appears to be about a female Korean programmer with Asperger's who hooks up with a sociopathic serial killer. Definitely in for round #2.

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...
