Su 3/17/24

810am (2-B). 850am (1-SB). 120pm (2-B). 3pm (1-B). 4pm (1-SB).  645pm (2-B). 835pm (2-B). 

Up 630am: Breezy with a mix of sun & clouds with temps to mid 40's. Freeze Warning posted for tonight. 

Did the Weekly Cleaning

Watched 'THE ABYSS' (Netflix). Due to extensive mining in remote Sweden, a town sinks into the Earth (Abyss?). Although there are scenes where characters are nearly trapped in the mine, that's not the major focus of the story. The biggest rescue sequence takes place in the local high school while the building collapses beneath them. Some (most?) of it was corny, but still somewhat engaging. (Think 'The Perils of Pauline' in Scandinavia). Set in Kiruna, Sweden which is in the far northern part of the country.

Watched 'SUNBURN' (Amazon Prime). A group of Irish teens get work visas to spend the summer working and partying in Long Island. A complete suspension of belief is imperative because most of the action is implausible at best. "Ireland is no place for people with aspirations. "What are your aspirations?". "The pursuit of happiness". Cillian Murphy's debut as a lead actor in a feature film. Much better than I thought, and worth a look. Filmed in Montauk, New York and Dublin, Ireland. Montauk is on the extreme northeastern tip of Long Island.  

Although it's bright & sunny, the temp is only 40 and the wind is howling. It's a treadmill kind of day.

1245pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill.

120pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; watched documentary 'ROADIE: My Side Of The Story' (Amazon Prime). About what you might expect. "Any tech might be considered a roadie, but not any roadie could be a tech."

Reading 'VIENNA BLOOD'

Read/ napped/ dozed off and forgot the time.

555pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT;  finished ANDY SUMMERS interview; began 'YOUR MOM'S HOUSE'.

650pm: [2 Beers/ no soda] In the tub with 'VIENNA BLOOD' and listening to ADRIAN BELEW POWER TRIO.

For some reason I decided to move the two movie posters that were in the 'computer room'. They look far better leaning against the downstairs walls than upstairs. It's about damn time. 

More 'YOUR MOM'S HOUSE'.

Began 'IRON REIGN' (Netflix).  A crooked mob boss controls the port of Barcelona and a ship with tons of heroin concealed in Russian dolls is about to dock. I shut it down 41 minutes into episode #1. This one looks like it will be good and around the right length. Eight episodes of 45 minute segments.

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...
