 Fr 9/29/23

7am (2-B). 820am (1-SB). 1245pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 825pm (2-B). 

Up 545am: Bright & sunny with temps to low 80's. It's heating up and temps in the mid to upper 80's through Tuesday. What happened to Fall?

***Today is the last day of Netflix Disc and I'm really going to miss them.

Watched Netflix disc 'BLOOD SIMPLE'. A woman in a small Texas town cheats on her husband with one of his employees at the bar. Misdirections and false assumptions lead to murder and convoluted cover-ups. A classic film, but I think I liked 'THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE' just a little bit more. Of course, that was much later in their careers and 'BLOOD SIMPLE' was their very first film; Written and directed by the Cohen Brothers; with John Getz, Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya, and M. Emmet Walsh. 5 wins & 7 nominations. "84" Metascore.

I downloaded my DVD Rental History from Netflix.

My first rentals:

1). "Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and The Media" was my first rental 4/29/2004

2). "Raising Victor Vargas" 4/29/2004

3). "Rashomon" 4/29/23

Finished 'UNSEEN' (Netflix).  In the last scene Zensi jumps off the roof of a burning nightclub, but that doesn't necessarily rule out another season. I'd give this one about a 'C-Plus'. The Internet is unsure if there will be another season, but 'UNSEEN' is based on a Turkish series called 'FATMA'. That's now in my queue. Part of the episode was set in Caledon, South Africa which is about 60 miles east of Cape Town.

12pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then walk downtown to mail back the penultimate Netflix disc (if 'DINER' isn't in the mail). 

1255pm- 250pm: To Downtown...Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside,  Park,  Edwards,  Monroe PO,  Edwards,  Lawrence, golf course,  Fairway, and up to 940; JAMES BROWN- 'Payback'; more BRIAN SIMPSON on J.R.E. 

Reading 'THE COLOR OF LIGHT'

450pm;: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more ROBERT KELLY & PAUL VIRZI Podcast. 

 550pm:  In the tub with 'THE COLOR OF LIGHT' and listening to JAMES BROWN- The Payback'; HUMBLE PIE- 'The Atlanta Years' Playlist; CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE'S SOUTHSIDE BLUES BAND- 'Stand Back'. 

Began a 'MINDFUL METAL JACKET'- JOE LIST with two comics.

Began 'FUGITIVA' (Netflix). The wife of a Mexican gangster fakes a kidnapping of herself and her kids. Dad's a violent man and divorce is not an option for him so she and the kids will hide out for a few months and hope he gives up the search...I guess. So far it's an overheated Mexican melodrama and I'll give it at least another viewing. I shut it down 13 minutes into episode #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...
