Tu 12/19/23

740am (2-B). 840am (1-SB). 1245pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: Partly cloudy with temps to mid 30's. It was only in the teens this morning. 

***Buddy was sick yesterday right after I got off the phone from Janny and he threw up again about 130am this morning. He ate his breakfast and seems back to normal. 

Wrote up 'MR. IVES' CHRISTMAS' by Oscar Hijuelos for the blog. 

I had planned to watch 'CYBERBUNKER: The Criminal Underworld' (Netflix), but I decided to watch 'INSIDIOUS' (Netflix) first and then 'CYBERBUNKER'. 

'INSIDIOUS' (Netflix). This is a well made and high quality 'Haunted House' genre film. A young boy becomes trapped in another world by evil spirits. It's not the house that's haunted, it's the boy that's possessed and Dad has paranormal abilities as well. Lots of things that go bump in the night, but it works although a rather predictable twist at the end; with Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, and Lin Shaye. "52" Metascore; 8 wins & 15 nominations.  {Notable Mention: Lin Shaye wears a gas mask during the seance scene}

'CYBERBUNKER: The Criminal Underworld' (Netflix). A Dutch cybercriminal sets up a massive computer server in Traben-Trarbach, Germany, a small village in Eastern Germany about 90 miles east of Frankfurt. They would host websites and not monitor their clients' business. The server became a major player on the 'dark web'- drugs, gangs, and pornography. I shut it down 26 minutes from the end and I'll finish this tonight. 

12pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then a walk to Washington Park. 

1pm- 230pm:  Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside,  Walnut,  Dial Court,  Leland,  Lincoln,  Ash,  Wiggins,  Wash.Pk southside,  up the road,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940. Early JACK BRUCE Playlist;  'PROTECT OUR PARKS' on J.R.E. 

Reading 'THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE'.

450pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of STAVROS on WE MIGHT BE DRUNK. 

545pm: In the tub with 'THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE' and listening to COMMODORES Playlist; LED ZEPPELIN III; 60's DETRITUS Playlist. 

More of STAVROS on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

Finished 'CYBERBUNKER: The Criminal Underworld' (Netflix). A weak documentary, but an interesting defense for the charge of 'child porn' on their servers. If you took a picture of a bank robbery in progress would the act of taking the photo be a crime? No, the crime is the robbery and not the photographing of the event. And, they tried to apply this to 'child porn'. This defense did not go anywhere. 

More of 'BLOOD COAST' (Netflix). I shut it down 6 minutes into episode #4. Two of the cops go to the Spanish border and they seemed to get there in an evening's drive. It's over 900 miles from Marseille to the Spanish border. I don't get it.
