 Su 12/10/23

725am (2-B).  830am (1SB). 10am (1-B). 1150am (2-B). 210pm (1-SB). 540pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: Partly cloudy and cooler with temps only to mid 30's. 

Did The Weekly Cleaning/ Mopping

***Around 9am (10 to 15 minutes) a firetruck (#8) pulled up between Bob & Alice's old house and the guy that works for the city. Three firemen went behind the houses and I could see a lot of smoke. Then it went away yet it didn't seem to be an emergency. I wonder what it was? 

Watched 'ELENA KNOWS' (Netflix). A truly captivating, yet strange film. An elderly and infirmed woman is convinced that her daughter did not commit suicide. You think that the film will be about the old woman's discovery of a macabre murder plot, but it turns out that the daughter took her own life because she could not face life as her mother's caretaker. This one had no Metascore and I'm really surprised there wasn't any critical acclaim. I really liked this film.

Finished 'CAPTAIN PHILLIPS' (Netflix).  I wonder about Captain Phillip's recovery from the psychological trauma of being a prisoner of Somali pirates. That might make an interesting companion piece for this film.  Captain Phillips was rescued in April of 2009 and he was back at sea in July of 2010. Nominated for 6 Oscars; 16 wings & 154 nominations. Tom Hanks was nominated 2014 'Best Leading Actor'- BAFTA FILM AWARD. "82" Metascore.

1125am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for another treadmill workout. 

1150am: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began 'WREASTERS' (Netflix)- Behind the scenes at a second tier wrestling federation. I shut it down near the beginning of episode # 2. It's 'SHOW' not 'SPORT' although athleticism is definitely involved. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps 

Finished 'CHINAMAN'S CHANCE' by ROSS THOMAS & began 'THE MAN WHO LIKED TO LOOK AT HIMSELF' by K.C. CONSTANTINE'

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished KEVIN RYAN on HONEY DEW. 

545pm: In the tub with K.C CONSTANTINE and listening to SPOOKY TOOTH Playlist; BAD BRAINS Playlist;  BLACK CROWES- 'Before The Frost. 

Began BIG JAY OAKERSON on 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?'.

More 'THE RAILWAY MEN: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984' (Netflix).  I wonder if Indian audiences would see this as corny as I do? A documentary about the 1984 Union Carbide- Bhopal Gas Leak would have been more interesting than this fictionalized account of the Indian railway's involvement in the incident. Thirty minutes left in the series and I'll finish it tomorrow morning.

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...
