Up 635am: A mix of sun & sun with temps to low 70's.
Wrote up 'IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE' by Sinclair Lewis for the blog.
Watched 'NIGHT TRAIN TO LISBON' (Amazon Prime). A lonely professor in Bern, Switzerland saves a woman from jumping off a bridge. She leaves him abruptly, but he finds a book in the pocket of her coat that she left behind. He reads the book, abandons his old life and travels to Lisbon, Portugal and becomes enmeshed in the lives of people who were involved in the Portuguese Revolution of the early 1970's; with Jeremy Irons, Melanie Laurent, Jack Huston, Martina Gedeck, Tom Courtenay, and Bruno Ganz. Very romantic and the film was developed from a novel by Swiss author, Pascal Mercier.
"The Carnation Revolution (Portuguese: Revolução dos Cravos), also known as the 25 April (Portuguese: 25 de Abril), was a military coup by left-leaning military officers that overthrew the authoritarian Estado Novo regime on 25 April 1974 in Lisbon, producing major social, economic, territorial, demographic, and political changes in Portugal and its overseas colonies through the Processo Revolucionário Em Curso. It resulted in the Portuguese transition to democracy and the end of the Portuguese Colonial War."
Finished 'TOP BOY' (Netflix). It looks like that the series will continue after season III and I hope that Netflix picks up the rest of this intense drama. I think I'll begin something else this evening but I'll definitely check out season III at some future date.
1130am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to visit Planet Fitness and hit Schnucks for a 30 pack of Natty Light, cat litter, and Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale.
Weights: 3 sets/ 14reps (added rep); Dumbbells.
1225: To Planet Fitness...When I got on the cross trainer I noticed that the wifi was not working properly and you could get online, but no streaming. I told the clerk (he thought there was a problem, but wasn't sure). I drove to Esporta... 45" Precor. 45"Treadmill. 30"Cross. 15" Recumbent Bike [changed so I could stop at Schnucks after workout]. 30" Precor; watched 'DREDD' (Amazon Prime)- In a dystopian future two 'judge' cops are stuck in an enemy occupied apartment building. Mayhem ensues. It's been done before- many times; an episode of 'NIGHTMARE IN SUBURBIA'- Young woman is kidnapped and raped in Brandon, UK.
Schnucks: 30 pack Natty Light, cat litter, 2 scrub brushes, Canada Dry diet ginger ale: $44.
Reading 'KING SUCKERMAN'
545pm: In the tub with 'KING SUCKERMAN' and listening to BUDDY MILES Playlist; O' JAYS Playlist.
***I sent an email to Planet Fitness to notify them of the wifi problem...again.
Watched Joe List's 'MINDFUL METAL JACKET'.
Began 'BURNING BODY' (Netflix). I shut it down 14 minutes into episode #2. This looks to be a noirish tale of a Spanish feme fatale or a Spanish Black Widow. I'm already into it. Some of the first episode is shot at Panta de Foix, Barcelona, Spain
***windows updates DO THEM TOMORROW NIGHT!!!
