 Su 12/24/23

740am (2-B). 820am (2-SB). 1225pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 810pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: Clouds & drizzle with temps just over 60. Christmas Eve and it feels like April. 

Did the Weekly Cleaning.

Watched 'BEHIND THE SUN' (Amazon Prime). A dark film about a fourteen year old girl who is raped by a group of slightly older boys from her neighborhood. Later she becomes a singer in a rock'n'roll band, but the trauma of the rape has permanently altered her life. A young writer gets to interview the singer and he reveals that he was present at the rape. A difficult subject and based on a real incident that happened to the writer of the film. The very disturbing sequence was shot in the same house (and room) where she was raped. Better than I expected. Title track by SONIC YOUTH and many of the songs of THE LEFT BANKE are featured; with Kim Dickens (DEADWOOD), Gabriel Mann, Roseanna Arquette, Don Cheadle, Eric Stoltz, and Elizabeth Pena (JACOB'S LADDER). Filmed in Cocoa Beach, Florida. 

Finished 'FATMA' (Netflix). Fatma jumps off the roof of the police station because she's overcome with guilt when she realizes that she pushed her son away and that's why he got run down. Seems a little harsh on herself and this doesn't remind me of anything about the South African version of this tale. There are several very clever story items in the series; Autistic child, a cleaning lady as 'invisible', silent people can have an undetected edge, mobsters could have several uses for an 'invisible' person, a husband who steals a child's settlement from his wife.  

1130am: PC is 'Off' and planning to walk Washington Park. It's 56 degrees at 1120am and it feels like Spring, not Xmas Eve. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. 

1235pm: To Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside, Vine,  Douglas,  Wash.Pk southside, Walnut, Wash.Pk northside,  up the road,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940 [during the walk back I only had on my red tee shirt]...ONE HOUR AND 30 MINUTES;  RARE EARTH Playlist; ANGELS OF DEATH METAL Playlist;  J.R.E with SHANE GILLIS. 

Reading 'BIAS' and read the preface to '

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of STAVROS on '2 Bears'.

545pm: In the tub with 'BIAS' and listening to JOHN MAYALL- 'Back To The Roots'; JESUS & MARY CHAIN Playlist. 

More of STAVROS HALKIAS on '2 Bears'.

Began 'VIVANT' (Netflix). I shut it down an hour and 2 minutes into episode #1. It's an hour and a half pilot. A company agreed to pay another company ten million dollars in an investment deal. The transfer went through at 100 million and a Japanese 'salary' man goes to Mongolia to get the missing 90 million.  It's silly, but the locations are mind boggling. I'll give it a shot.

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...
