We 8/30/23

We 8/30/23

Up 540am: Bright & sunny with temps to upper 70's.

720am (2-B) {NEW BATCH!}. 920am (1-SB). 1230pm (2-B).  610pm (2-B). 825pm (2-B). 

Buddy seems back to normal and he ate Friskies and 'crunchies' and went back to his spot by the breezeway.

Watched 'DNA' (Netflix). An admired Algerian grandfather dies and his grand-daughter and family struggle with their ethnic identity. Funny Scene: At the funeral home the family must agree on the type of casket to use for the cremation. After they finally agree, they must go through the whole process again to pick the kind of fabric used to line the casket. Is an expensive service a legitimate homage to the deceased or is it just a waste of money because it all goes up in flames? Low key and emotionally charged and well worth a look. One win & 8 nominations.

Finished 'ALBA' (Netflix). The two remaining rapists are apprehended in an abandoned warehouse after kidnapping Alba and Bruno and the crooked local cop have saved the day. I was expecting a more high-powered ending but I'm not disappointed. Bombastic melodrama at fever pitch intensity and I dug it. 

More of 'WHO IS ERIN CARTER?' (Netflix). Shut it down 29 minutes into episode #3. Details of the main character's background is slowly unfolding. 

1145am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to change the bandage on my forearm, do the weights and then head to Esporta for the workout. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 12 reps Dumbbells

1245pm: I left for Esporta and ended up at Planet Fitness...45"Cross.  45"Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30"Cross; more of 'WHO IS ERIN CARTER?'; more of ARI SHAFFIR on WE MIGHT BE DRUNK. 

***Cleat vomit in kitchen,  but Buddy was still hungry. 

Reading 'REDEEMING LOVE'

615pm: In the tub with 'REDEEMING LOVE' and listening to BAD COMPANY- 'Best of'; HEAD EAST- 'Flat As A Pancake'; MOLLY HATCHET 'Best of'. 

More of MARK NORMAND on WHISKEY GINGER

Began 'BLOOD SEX & ROYALTY' (Netflix).  I shut it down 14 minutes into episode #3 of a three part series on Anne Boleyn. Henry VIII and his daughter, Elizabeth I both had red hair.

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...
