 Mo 11/20/23

705am (2-B). 8am (1-SB). 230pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 545am: Cloudy with rain beginning late this afternoon with temps to upper 40's. More rain for tonight and tomorrow.

***I took a couple of allergy tablets 

Watched 'DOWNTON ABBEY' (Netflix). The King & Queen of England visit Downton for a day and the staff of the Royals and the servants at Downton clash over who will serve the Royal Couple. Very well done and peppered with very witty dialogue. Won 15 Primetime Emmys; 60 wins & 229 nominations.  

Watched 'WHITE NOISE' (Netflix). STORYLINE/ THESIS: A philosophical rumination on the 'Fear of Death' is heightened as an 'Airborne Toxic Event' infects the community. From a novel by Don DeLillo; with Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, and Don Cheadle. Two wins & 24 nominations: "66" Metascore.

***I had seen this before but I watched/napped through the film because the two antihistamine tablets have wiped me out. I feel sedated and jittery simultaneously.

Wrote a quick Chat and I'm running so far behind.

210pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hit the treadmill today. I just realized that Thursday is Thanksgiving. I thought it was next week. 

235pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished MARC MARON on 'Blocks'; began TIM DILLON on KELLY & VIRZI.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

Reading 'THE FIX'. 

450pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of TIM DILLON on KELLY & VIRZI.

***The ten dollar 'Free' sample arrived in the mail from VIIA. Tomorrow seems like a perfect day to try it- rain all day.

545pm:  In the tub with 'THE FIX' and listening to TEN YEARS AFTER- 'A Space In Time'; PAUL RODGERS- 'Midnight Rose'; TURTLES- 'Wooden Head'.

Finished KELLY & VIRZI with TIM DILLON

I decided to take a break from the Spanish gangsters in Ostia, Rome and began watching the very first episode of the BBC's 'DOWNTON ABBEY' (Amazon Prime). I think I'll keep going with this series although the movie was better.

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...
