 Sa 11/18/23

710am (2-B). 820am (1-SB). 1025am (1-B). 1235pm (1-B). 

315pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 540am: A frosty morning and then bright & sunny with temps to mid 50's.

I wrote up 'THE BLACK BOOK' by Ian Rankin and 'MYRA BRECKINRIDGE' by Gore Vidal for the blog.

When I got up I planned to rake the leaves on the front lawn because today is the last day of Westview's pickup week for bags. Maybe I'll hit it later today....maybe.

Watched 'DANGEROUS LIAISONS' (Kanopy). The film is an elegant tale of cruelty and romance among members of the French aristocracy during the 18th century. A femme fatale and a notorious womanizer conspire to ruin the reputations of selected mademoiselles and messieurs; with Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Swoosie Kurtz, Keanu Reeves, and Uma Thurman. Won 3 Oscars; 21 wins & 23 nominations. "74" Metascore. I hadn't seen this one in ages (1988 release) and well worth a second look. 

Began 'TOM PETTY: Somewhere You Feel Free' (Amazon Prime). Tom Petty and his band (without the Heartbreakers's drummer but with Rick Rubin) are captured on 16mm film (found in 2020) and document the making of Petty's solo album, 'Wildflowers'. A 'behind the scenes' documentary that was definitely 'a cut above'. 

1210pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to tackle the leaves. The front lawn first and then hit the backyard to push the leaves into a big pile under the tulip tree. We'll call this a 'compost pile'. [Done by 3pm]

1240pm-3pm:The Leaves'

325pm- 445pm:  To Wash.Pk.- Parkview,  Wash.Pk road north side, MacArthur,  Wash.Pk south side, up the road,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940; TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND Playlist;  WHITNEY CUMMINGS on J.R.E. 

Reading 'THE FIX'

545pm:  In the tub with 'THE FIX' and listening to TOM PETTY- 'Wildflowers'; TELEVISION'- 'Live'; PERE UBU- 'Elitism For The People'.

Finished DAN SODER on 'Are You Garbage?'

More 'SUBURRAETERNA' (Netflix). I shut it down 42 minutes into episode #3. All the gangs and The Vatican are in a race to get ownership of the land for the new Roman Colosseum.

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...
