Tu 11/28/23

730am (2-B). 810am (1-SB). 1250pm (2-B).545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Sunny to partly cloudy with temps only to 30 degrees.

I borrowed 'HEAVEN' and 'THE CHAMBERMAID' from Hoopla.

Watched 'THE CHAMBERMAID' (Hoopla). A Day in The Life of a maid at a high rise hotel in Mexico City. A slow and deliberate Art Film that really conveys the isolation and apartness that a working class young woman might feel employed as a servant in an affluent person's environment.

Finished 'A NEARLY NORMAL FAMILY' (Netflix). An elegant way to tell a story and the actual events of the murder are not revealed until the final scene. Stella killed her boyfriend after she surprised him raping her closet girlfriend, Amina. As the girls flee his apartment Christoffer chases the girls with a knife. He drops the knife, and then Stella murders him. The case is tossed out because the rape and Chris's sexual history showed that there were many others that could have a motive to kill him. Stella's mother, the lawyer, was able to save her daughter by introducing doubt into the case. A great series!

Began another series 'CRIMINAL CODE' (Netflix). I finished episode #1 and it looks like another quality series. Bandits in Southern Brazil attack a town across the border to Uruguay. They burn vehicles, take hostages, attack the police station and rob the bank of millions. A Brazilian detective is convinced that this same gang killed his partner in a prison riot and he will stop at nothing to get these criminals. I'm hooked. 

1230pm: PC is 'Off' and it's another day on the treadmill. I had planned to get the 'kidney safe' cat food at Brewer, but it's too cold and I'll stop by tomorrow afternoon after visiting Esporta.

 ***I ordered a new rice cooker from Amazon; $22

***I ordered gummies from VIIA Hemp Co; $41 

1255pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; watched the first episode of 'BOBBY KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT' (Netflix)- Civil Rights was not high on his agenda, but he became a massive figure in the movement; more of DAVID GRUSCH on J.R.E. 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps

Reading 'DEMON COPPERHEAD'

450pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of BOBBY KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT' (Netflix).

450pm: In the tub with 'DEMON COPPERHEAD' and listening to MOBY GRAPE- Listen My Friends'; JETHRO TULL- 'Stand Up'; YES- 'The Yes Album'. 

Began TIM DILLON on 'Anniewood'.

More 'CRIMINAL CODE' (Netflix). I shut it down 8 minutes into episode #3. The police are using DNA to bring down a huge criminal enterprise. The cops collect DNA at crime scenes and match it with DNA found in public and private places. They don't have names, but they have matches and sooner or later they will have identities.

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...
