 Sa 2/17/24

640am (2-B). 850am (1-B). 1145am (2-B). 550pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Bright & sunny with temps to mid 20's.

Watched 'L'IMMENSITA' (Kanopy). An offbeat and quirky film set in 1970's Rome, Italy about a family in crisis. Dad's a philandering and domineering jerk, mom copes through fantasy, the kids are just kids, but the pre-teen daughter is convinced she's a boy; with Penelope Cruz. 1 win & 10 nominations. "70" Metascore, yet slightly higher than I would have rated it.

Finished 'OKTOBERFEST- Beer & Blood' (Netflix). A second season is still a 'maybe', but I vote 'yes' to a season 2. The series is a lurid tale of people in desperate situations doing desperate things. 

Began 'LITTLE NICHOLAS: Life of a Scoundrel' (Netflix). A young man is able to hoodwink the media into believing that he was a 'VIP', but he was just a very clever imposter. I'll continue this series tonight. 

1120am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill

Oiled treadmill 

1150am: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished 'THE NEW AMERICANS: Gaming a Revolution'- People born around 2000 feel more comfortable living in the digital world; more of a pregnant comedian on WHISKEY GINGER. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps 

Reading John O'Hara anthology 

455pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began NICK SWARDSON on 'SOMETHING'S BURNING'.

555pm: In the tub with JOHN O'HARA and listening to ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND- 'Seven Turns'/ 'Shades of Two Worlds'. DICKEY BETTS & GREAT SOUTHERN Playlist.

Finished NICK SWARDSON on 'Something's Burning'.

More 'LITTLE NICHOLAS: Life of a Scoundrel' (Netflix). The kid claimed to be with 'CNI' {Centro Nacional de Inteligencia} which is the Spanish official foreign and domestic intelligence agency. I shut it down 13 minutes into episode #3- the final chapter in the series. Very confusing and I don't understand the crime. Is being a liar a criminal offense?

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...
