 Sa 12/23/23

835am (2-B). 955am (1-SB). 1215pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 810pm (2-B). 

Up 645am: Fog early, then cloudy with temps to mid 50's. 

***Wrapped the kids' Xmas gifts

'I DON'T EXPECT ANYONE TO BELIEVE ME' (Netflix). A strange mix of reality and fantasy about a writer who happens to be creating the story that you are watching. He is a graduate student from Mexico studying in Spain and his dissertation is about the state of humor in 20th century South American literature. Just before he leaves for Spain a Mexican cartel forces him to launder money in Spain. It's an absurdist tale and probably improves after more than one viewing. I'm surprised that this film wasn't more highly rated.

1125am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to visit Esporta this afternoon. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

1225pm: To Esporta...45" Precor.  45"Treadmill.  30" Cross.  30" Recumbent Bike. 30" Precor; MK ULTRA (Amazon Prime)- It's a less than satisfying 'B-Movie' about the US government's involvement in the use of psychedelics in controlling the population. Timothy Leary thanks the CIA for making the psychedelic movement possible; watched episode # 1 'SERIAL KILLERS' (Amazon Prime)- William Heirens: 'Lipstick Killer', Chicago 1945; began 'HONEY DEW' with STEVE-O.

Reading 'BIAS'

550pm: In the tub with 'BIAS- and listening to GINGER BAKER Playlist;  MASTERS OF REALITY Playlist; ROLLING STONES- 'Emotional Rescue'.

Finished STEVE-O on 'Honey Dew'.

More 'FATMA' (Netflix).  The cleaner and her husband are from Eskisehir, Turkey which is about 190 miles southeast of Istanbul. Only episode #6 is left to watch and this is really an 'overlooked' series. The film was remade in South America and called 'UNSEEN'. I saw this version before the original Turkish production. If they made a remake, I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a positive buzz about 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...

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...
