 Tu 4/16/24

655am (2-B). 745am (1-SB). 925am (1-SB). 1230pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 540am: Cloudy and rain predicted for this afternoon and evening with temps to just above 80.

Wrote up 'THE ACCIDENT' by Linwood Barclay for the blog. 

Watched 'DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY' (Netflix). The film is glacially paced and for the most part, it sets a convincingly dire tone, but the ending was less than satisfying. A Mexican paparazzi photographer is cursed by a powerful Santeria spell and he begins to lose all of his senses (except sight?). In the second part of the film he tries to discover the source of his misfortune. Although the sense of dread and fear is very effective,  there is relatively little payoff. This film was well worth a look, but it could have been so much better. 

Watched 'PAMELA' (Amazon Prime). A brother and sister have dinner with their mother. They have learned that although the two siblings share the same father, they do not have the same mother. The mom believes she cannot tell them because she loves them equally and the kids feel that they have a sacred right to know the truth. The daughter has the most issues and she is the biological child of mom and dad. Brother was a guy and not partisan, so he is different. The tipoff was that mom was a real hard-head and so was sis. This shows that they share a common heritage. This one was close, but no cigar. 

1130am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hack away at the front dandelions, do the weights, and then hit Esporta. 

1130am- 1145: Lawn Duty & the 'lawn whip' made a somewhat positive discernible difference. 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps

1245pm: To Esporta, but wound up at Planet Fitness...45"Cross,  45"Treadmill,  30"Bike,  30" Treadmill,  30"Cross;  watched almost half of 'HAPPY GILMORE' (Netflix) - Uncouth guy plays bad hockey,  but excels at golf; dumb & unfunny;  watched part of 'THAT WAS A SERIOUS PARTY (Amazon Prime)- A bland film about England's 'Secret Garden Festival'; not in the slightest bit interesting; watched all of 'BEATLES,  HIPPIES,  & HELLS ANGELS:  Inside The Crazy World of Apple; finished BILL BURR on 'Tiger Belly'.

Reading 'BLACK MAGIC'

545pm: In the tub with 'BEAUTIFUL SHADOW' [Bio of PATRICIA HIGHSMITH and listening to GRATEFUL DEAD Playlist; JAMES GANG- 'Bang'/ 'Miami'.

Began ANDREW SANTINO on 'Take Your Shoes Off' with RICK GLASSMAN

More 'RIPLEY' (Netflix). I shut it down 52 minutes into episode #6. It just keeps getting better and better. It's an amazing profile of a psychopath and I will finish reading the biography of Patricia Highsmith that I began this afternoon. 'BLACK MAGIC' can wait.

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...
