Monday, Xmas Day

 Monday, Xmas Day

720am (2-B).  845am (1-SB). 1040am (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: Light rain & drizzle all day with temps to mid 50's. 

Watched 'THE MISSING' (Kanopy). Set in 1885 New Mexico and concerns a woman living alone with two daughters. They are attacked by a renegade band of Indians and one of the girls is kidnapped. The woman's estranged father has 'gone Indian' and leads the rescue of his granddaughter. Not a bad cowboy film, but a little heavy-handed with the 'Trafficking' angle; with Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett, Evan Rachel Wood, Max Perlich, and Aaron Eckhart and Val Kilmer in very small bit parts. Directed by Ron Howard. 2 wins & 8 nominations. "55" Metascore. 

1030am: PC is 'Off' and preparing to do five miles on the treadmill so that I can get in 'the daily seven' before I leave for Glenwood- 430pm. 

1045am: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; watched 'AMANDA KNOX' (Netflix). A young American girl vacationing in Perugia, Italy is involved in a lurid sex/ murder scandal. Actually, she wasn't even at the murder scene; I'll definitely watch the rest of the doc tonight; finished THEO VON'S Xmas Pod. 

Reading & finished 'BIAS' by Dr. Jennifer Earnhardt and began 'Native Son' by Richard Wright 

315pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began TOM SEGURA on 'TIGER BELLY'.

420pm- 730am: Xmas on Glenwood with just The Brandenburgs- {Red Oak, Glenwood, Andrew}. I had some wings, caramel candy, chocolate fudge, and a slice of chocolate pie.     

More of TOM SEGURA on 'Tiger Belly'.

Finished 'AMANDA KNOX' (Netflix). The case went to the Italian Supreme Court and Amanda and her boyfriend (of five days before the murder) were exonerated, but I can't believe such bad police procedures and a ridiculous prosecution got as far as it did. There was no proof whatsoever concerning wild sex orgies or Amanda's lurid past. It was all more or less hearsay provided by the prosecution. 

Began 'BODIES' (Netflix) {I decided not to revisit 'VIVANT' (Netflix)} I shut it down 42 minutes into episode #1. I'm hooked. The body of a dead naked man is found on the same London alley in three different eras- 1890, 1941, 2023.

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...
