Up 620am: A cloudy day although temperatures will almost hit 60 degrees!
Wrote up 'MAO II' by Don Delillo for the blog. This morning I noticed the flyleaf and learned that I had read the book in October of 2021. Only 'The Moonie Wedding' made it to the memory banks from the first look at the novel and that barely registered.
Watched 'SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL' (Hoopla) {borrowed yesterday}. A man is kidnapped by an armed stranger while on the way to the hospital where his wife is about to give birth. He's forced to drive to Boulder City, Nevada from the Vegas Strip and held hostage while the kidnapper slowly reveals why he is there. Nearly all of the action is in the car and Nicolas Cage and Joel Kinnaman verbally spar and Cage acts very 'Cage'. Well worth a look. Features the music of Jimmy Radcliffe. "54" Metascore.
Watched 'MY NAME IS VENDETTA' (Netflix). A father and daughter set out to seek revenge after dad's past life is revealed. Mobsters attack and kill his wife for a 'hit' that he did two decades previously. The film is set in scenic mountain areas near Merano, Italy and Milan, Italy. The father is from Calabria which is 'the toe' in 'the boot of Italy'. Sicily is just below and to the west.
***I cut it off at 45" and decided to finish 'THE BANK OF DAVE' (Netflix) before leaving to sign up at FitClub West.
1135am: Preparing to visit FitClub West and sign up with United Healthcare.
Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.
1220pm: To FitClub: $10; 45 dollar yearly. What a rip off!
45"Precor (arms). 30"Treadmill. 30"Precor (no arms). 30"Bike. 30"Cross; watched 'OLD GROWTH MURDER' (Amazon Prime)- A French cyclist is murdered in Oregon while on a ride through North America. It was local Indians, but they were never prosecuted successfully; finished CHRIS DISTEFANO on CLUB RANDOM.
***While on the machines I got a call from Tony & he'll be over to repair the treadmill at 1030am on Saturday- Happy Birthday To Me!!
Began reading 'THE MIND CAGE' by A.E. van Vogt
555pm: In the tub with 'THE CAGED MIND' and listening to H.P. LOVECRAFT- 'II'); JAMES GANG- 'The Atlantic Years'.
Watched the rest of 'MY NAME IS VENDETTA' (Netflix). Dad gets gunned down, but his daughter continues the vendetta to make her family the king of the jungle. This was a really well-done considering how many times similar ideas have been used. I hope there is another season starring the daughter.
More of 'GRISELDA' (Netflix). I shut it down 39 minutes into episode #3. Griselda came up with the master plan, but must live with the fact that she is only a partner behind the scenes. One of the guys is the 'face' of the outfit.
