 Th 12/21/23

7am (2-B). 8am (1-SB). 1205pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 6am:  Cloudy with temps to mid 50's.

***Buddy threw up very early this morning. I cleaned it up and he ate and seemed fine. Is it that he needs to be fed a little bit at three hour intervals?

Watched 'CHILE 76' (Hoopla). {borrowed yesterday} Set in Chile during the military dictatorship of  Augusto Pinochet. An upper class woman aids a wounded rebel and becomes an enemy of the state during an authoritarian reign.

The best movie I've ever seen about daily life in an era of political repression. The details of the story are very slowly yet precisely revealed and the psychological tension never lets up. A beautiful 'soundscape' that enhances the dark unease of the storyline. The arresting soundtrack is not really a 'score' but more of 'a precise condiment of musical sounds'. I loved this film. "78" Metascore.

Finished 'BLOOD COAST' (Netflix).  They've kicked the door wide open for a second season and I found the following statement online, "... given the recent premiere and success of the first season, the likelihood of a renewal is high".

1105am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then walk Washington Park and parts south.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. 

1215pm-2pm: To Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Outer Park,  Lincoln,  Vine,  Douglas,  Wash.Pk,  Walnut,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 45 MINUTES;  GOLDEN PALOMINOS- 'Visions of Excess'; ISLEY BROTHERS Playlist; J.R.E discussion about AI.

Reading 'THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE'

445pm:   TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of the 2 guys talking AI.

550pm: In the tub to finish 'THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE' and began 'BIAS- Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do' and and listening to EAGLES OF DEATH METAL Playlist; CRAZY HORSE Playlist.

Began JOHN STAMOS on Whitney Cummings.

Began 'FATMA' (Netflix). A poor cleaning woman cuts a wide swath through the local criminal population. High drama with a twist. Set near Menekse, Turkey. I shut it down 19 minutes into episode #2.

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...
