 Fr 12/22/23

7am (2-B). 8am (1-SB). 1235pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 545am: A chance of light rain all day with temps to the upper 40's.

I wrote up 'THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE' by Michael Connelly.

Watched 'WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL?' (Kanopy). 'FUCK BOMBERS- The Fantastic Cinema Club' make the most important film in the history of movies- "THE BLOOD OF WOLVES". Two rival Yakuza gangs become the actors & crew in the extravaganza and a young woman who made an enchanting toothpaste commercial a decade previously leads the charge. It's very Absurdist/ Surreal and willfully irrational yet hilarious. 8 wins & 11 nominations. "68" Metascore. 

Began 'DIRTY PICTURES' (Amazon Prime). A look at the life's work of,           an American scientist {The Godfather of Psychedelics} who developed more than 200 psychedelic compounds. He once worked for Dow Chemical and made millions for the company from his synthesis of new pesticides. They gave him full reign of their laboratories, but now he's more of an alchemist and works out of a very cluttered lab at his home. He looked pretty frail in the film and I learned on Wikipedia that he died in 2014 at the age of 88. 

***Ordered another five pounds of Rice/ Amazon 

12pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill; watched the new TUESDAYS WITH STORIES.  

1240pm:   FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; TUESDAYS WITH STORIES; began a 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?'.

Reading 'BIAS'

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?' - The guys exchanged Xmas gifts.

550pm: In the tub with 'BIAS' and listening to JACK BRUCE- 'Rockpalast- 1980'; HUMBLE PIE- 'The Definitive Collection'. 

Finished NEAL BRENNAN on 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?' and began JIM & NIKKI NORTON on WHITNEY CUMMINGS.

More 'FATMA' (Netflix). I shut it down 17 minutes into episode #4. Filmed in Istanbul and Bilecik, Turkey. Bilecik is about 140 miles south of Istanbul.  

***Wrap the Xmas gifts

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...
