 Su 11/26/23- New Batch

7am (2-B). 815am (1-SB). 1030am (1-B). 1235pm (2-B). 445pm (2-B). [445pm New Batch: GARLIC BANANA POPCORN- 7g]. 815pm (2-B). 

Up 520am: A light wintry mix early (they're still predicting 1-2 inches but it seems too warm) & cloudy with temps to low 30's. {No accumulation and sprinkles ended by 1030am}

Borrowed 'MARTIN EDEN' and 'OUT AND ABOUT' from Hoopla.

Watched 'MARTIN EDEN' (Hoopla). Loosely based on the novel by Jack London. The book was set near the turn of the 20th century and the movie is set in Italy after WWII. A self taught man struggles to be a writer and cannot catch a break. Finally he becomes a widely respected author and he still embraces his take on Socialism. Martin Eden doesn't think Socialism is a workable philosophy because it examines human society as a collective and he feels that real change can only be possible through the individual. THESIS: The community might feel that they operate with democratic ideals and the rights of the majority, however it is really only five or six individuals that really control what happens in a city. Martin's ideal man wants to be one of these influential people. 

Watched 'OUT AND ABOUT' (Hoopla). A man walks around his neighborhood on a summer day and thinks about his past, present, and future. A small Independent film with heart. I liked it and this is the kind of movie that would clean up at a film festival. Peter Callahan wrote, starred, and directed the film and he also grew up in Hastings-On-Hudson, NY.  

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life whether you like it or not". Filmed in Hastings-On-Hudson, New York which is six miles north of Yonkers, NY.  

1220pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hit the treadmill and listen to the latest 'TUESDAYS WITH STORIES'. The first podcast since Joe List became a father.

1240pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; a complete TUESDAYS WITH STORIES. Joe's wife had a 'C' section; more on WHITNEY CUMMINGS on J.R.E. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

Finished 'TINSEL' by WILLIAM GOLDMAN 

450pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began NATASHA LYONNE on 'Blicks'.

450pm: In the tub to begin 'DEMON COPPERHEAD' and listening to BONNIE RAITT Playlist; BLUES IMAGE Playlist;  BIG STAR Playlist. 

Finished NATASHA LYONNE on 'Blocks'.

Began 'A NEARLY NORMAL FAMILY' (Netflix). I shut it down 17 minutes into episode #2. Dad's a minister, mom's a lawyer who is cheating on hubby, and their nineteen year old daughter has just been arrested for murder. I'm hooked.

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).
