 Sa 5/4/24

705am (2-LB). 750am (1-B). 1155am (2-LB). 540pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB). 

Up 6am: Partly cloudy with temps to about 80 and thunderstorms predicted for later this afternoon.

I had to download updates for the DVD player, but it worked perfectly. 

Watched 'SHADOWLANDS' {DVD from Janny}'.  A very romantic film about a reclusive and introverted Oxford professor who finds romantic love with a woman who is very different from what he has come to expect. The film is not so much about 'true love', but the description of a singular kind of relationship. Two unique and very different people who learn that they are the perfect complement to each other; Anthony Hopkins & Debra Winger. Nominated for 2 Oscars; 7 wins & 14 nominations..."We read to feel that we are not alone". Although Debra Winger did a great job, I was not convinced with her affected 'NYC accent'. Why didn't they find a real 'New Yawker'?

***Fun Facts: Lewis raised Joy's two sons. Douglas became a Christian like his mother and step-father and David became an Orthodox Jew, Joy's first religion. David died on Christmas Day,2014 in a Swiss mental hospital where he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. C.S. Lewis died the same day as the assassination of JFK.   

Finished 'IDIOCRACY' (Tubi). "I can't believe you like money, too. We should hang out"; with Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, Terry Crews, and Thomas Haden Church. Directed by Mike Judge (BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD, KING OF THE HILL).   

1105am: The plan is to take a long walk and I'm not sure of the route.

1205pm:  To Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Bates,  Outer Park, Lincoln,  Leland,  Douglas,  Wash.Pk,  MacArthur,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 50 MINUTES;  CANNED HEAT Playlist; WHO- 'Quadrophenia'; more of CHRIS DISTEFANO on J.R.E. 

Reading 'THE THANATOS SYNDROME'

4pm-420pm: To County Market for planter flowers:  $9.00 [I should have bought more].

545pm: In the tub with 'THE THANATOS SYNDROME' and listening to LEE MORGAN Playlist; BLACK SABBATH Playlist; ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND- '7 Turns'/ 'An Evening With'.

***A huge downpour while I was in the tub. The guy next door was working with his  water tank & flowers during the storm. The guy is committed. 

More of ARI SHAFFIR on 'Take Your Shoes Off'.

More 'FURIES' (Netflix). I shut it down 30 minutes into episode #6. Very confusing relationship between The Fixer and The Six Godfathers, but the classy action sequences make it all worthwhile.

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...
