 Th 10/19/23

735am (2-B). 820am (1-SB). 1235am (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 615am: Light rain ending about 8am, then mostly cloudy with temps to low 60's. 

Watched 'UNBROKEN' (Netflix). A surprisingly bland film about the life of Louie Zamperini who was a superb distance runner and competed with Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. During World War II he was shot down during a bombing mission in the Pacific and spent 47 days in a life raft without food or water. He was captured and held in a Japanese prison camp where he was brutally tortured yet lived to tell the tale. It seemed just a little too rosy of a biographical prisoner of war drama. Written by the Coen Brothers (?!?!)  and directed by Angelina Jolie.  

Finished 'BLANQUITA' (Netflix).  I shut it down with fifteen minutes left and I should have watched this in one sitting. It's a very good film but a little slow moving and one complete viewing would have helped the continuity. 

1140am: PC is 'Off' and will prepare for an afternoon at Planet Fitness.

1245pm:  To Planet Fitness...45"Cross,  45"Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30"Cross; watched 'LONG SHOT' (Netflix)- A ridiculous comedy about a female American Secretary of State who has an affair with one of her nerdy speech writers. Almost none of it was believable or funny; with Charlize Theron, Seth Rogan, Bob Odenkirk, and Andy Serkis. BEST BIR, "Gay marriage causes hurricanes"; finished 'BLANQUITA' (Netflix); ERIC ANDRE on 'Blocks'

Reading 'RICH MAN POOR MAN'

550pm: In the tub with 'RICH MAN POOR MAN and listening to SPOOKY TOOTH Playlist; RUSH Playlist.

Began 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?' with SAM TALLENT.

Began 'WEDNESDAY' (Netflix). A freaky piece of cinema by Tim Burton and I'm kinda enjoying it... "Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see"- Edgar Allen Poe

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...
