 Sa 12/9/23

7am (2-B). 810am (1-SB). 1145am (2-B). 545pm (2-B).  815pm (2-B). 

Up 550am: Partly cloudy,  breezy and cooler with temps to about 50.

Watched 'AVENGEMENT' (Netflix). A younger brother does hard time in the toughest prison in England because of his criminal older brother. The crew was shaking down local people and when the younger brother escapes, he decimates the crew and divides his brother's ill gotten gains among the people that he fleeced.  Scott Adkins, the lead actor, looked so much like Ben Affleck that it was distracting. "63" Metascore.  I was surprised that it rated this high.

From Film Threat: "The whole film plays like a hunk looking at himself in the mirror"...Parts were shot near London Fields and Hackney, London, England.

Watched ILARY BLASI: The One And Only' (Netflix). Ilary Blasi, television host and former model, and Francesco Totti, a professional footballer were 'Rome's most famous romantic couple'. Their marriage lasted for twenty years and in this flimsy documentary Ilary tells her side of the breakup. There needs to be a companion piece with his take on the separation, but I wouldn't really believe either one of them. It's just 'click bait' from another country and nothing of real substance.    

1110am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then hit Planet Fitness.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

12pm: To Planet Fitness...45"Cross.  45"Treadmill. 30"Bike. 30"Treadmill.  30"Cross.; watched 'US' (Netflix)- A black family encounters their evil doppelgangers on a bloody beach vacation. I thought that I had seen this before, but it was a completely new experience. After the film I watched a couple of YouTube Reviews. One guy said it was a metaphor for the failure of American capitalism. The kind of film that's well worth a second (or third) look...Deep...Directed by Jordan Peele. 85 wins & 132 nominations. "81" Metascore; more of THEO VON. 

Reading 'CHINAMAN'S CHANCE'.

550pm: the tub with 'CHINAMAN'S CHANCE' and listening to RUSH Playlist; HUMBLE PIE Playlist. 

Finished '2 Bears' and 'JELLY ROLL & ERNEST' on THEO VON.

Began 'CAPTAIN PHILLIPS' (Netflix). I shut it down with 1hr and 4 minutes remaining. I'll finish this tomorrow morning. It's based on the 2009 Maersk Alabama hijacking by Somali pirates.

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...
