 Mo 12/18/23

630am (2-B). 720am (1-SB). 130pm (2-B). 550pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 520am: Windy & raw with a mix of sun and clouds with temps only in the low 30's.

Watched 'THE WAILING' (Netflix). A series of murders in a rural South Korean village seem to be connected to the paranormal. Some of the 'demon possession' scenes were funny, but didn't negate the intensity of the suspense and horror. It's almost a Korean reworking of the American film 'The Exorcist' (1973). Set near Gokong, South Korea which is far south central Korea. 

"81" Metascore. 34 wins & 57 nominations.

From 'The A.V. Club'- "The Wailing might be a somewhat meandering and nonsensical genre recombination, but that spell never breaks over its lengthy running time."

Finished season #1  'HOLY FAMILY' (Netflix). A completely confusing and unexpected ending to season #1, but season #2 is the end of the series and I hope that all the loose ends will be tied at the end of episode #8 in season #2. 

Wrote The Chat and then Janny called just before I could send it off. We talked until 1pm & it was almost an hour phone chat. We will meet for Christmas at The Brandenburgs and Glenwood on Monday, Xmas Day, at 430pm. 

110pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill.

Oiled Treadmill

135pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; watched most of 'NEIGHBORS' (Netflix)- Seth Rogan & Rose Byrne and their baby have problems with new neighbors- a college fraternity.  Twenty two minutes left and I most likely won't be back; more of 'PROTECT OUR PARKS' on J.R.E. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps 

Finished 'MR IVES CHRISTMAS'

455pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished MARK NORMAND on WHITNEY CUMMINGS. 

555pm: In the tub to begin 'THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE' by MICHAEL CONNELLY and listening to HUMBLE PIE- 'Hot 'N' Nasty'; BLACK CROWES- 'Amorica'.

More of STAVROS HALKIAS on 'Are You Garbage?'

More 'BLOOD COAST' (Netflix).  I shut it down 14 minutes into episode #3. The Marseille crime syndicates are bad, but the cops are badder. The 'grit' of Marseille is the focus of the series.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. 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...
