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.
