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.

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

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.
