Mo 11/6/23

755am (2-B). 840am (1-SB). 1120am (1-SB). 545pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 7am: (Feeling rested) Cloudy & breezy with temps to just over 70.

Watched 'DELIVER US FROM EVIL' (Netflix).  A group of Iraqi War vets stumble upon a 'door' to an evil (Catholic?) dimension and bring it back to the South Bronx. A detective sergeant and a demonologist take it from there; with Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez, and Joel McHale. Certainly not one of the best of the genre, but still not a bad 'Demon Possession' film. This is based on a real NYC cop, Ralph Sarchie, who actually performs exorcisms to tackle "demonic infestation around the city". "40" Metascore.  Hackneyed musical choices by The Doors are featured- "Break On Through (To The Other Side)" & "People Are Strange". 

More of 'ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE' (Netflix). I shut it down 21 minutes into episode #3. I just noticed that there are only 4 episodes in the series. Based on a novel by American author Anthony Doerr that won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The movie is not nearly as highly regarded, and although I like the film it seems almost YA or Romantic (subjective & emotional). 

Wrote a short Chat. 

120pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hit the treadmill (after applying more oil) and then do the weights.

145pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT;  watched the new 'TUESDAYS WITH STORIES: more of TUCKER CARLSON on THEO VON. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. 

Reading 'SLEEP NO MORE'

445pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished TUCKER CARLSON on THEO VON; began DAN SODER on BILL BURR. 

545pm: In the tub with 'SLEEP NO MORE' and listening to BUDDY MILES Playlist; ELVIS COSTELLO- 'Get Happy'/ 'Trust'. 

More of DAN SODER on BILL BURR

More 'ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE' (Netflix).  The quest for 'The Sea of Flames' diamond' has driven the sick and dying Nazi officer to madness. If he gets the diamond the curse will allow him to live forever, but it will destroy the one he loves most. This guy is so hated and unloved that for him there is no downside to this curse. I shut it down with about 25 minutes left in the series. There is something 'off' about this series and I can't quite put my finger on it. It might be that it's just corny and hackneyed or maybe just a little too romantic, but something is amiss.

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...
