655am (2-LB). 730am (1-B). 1245pm (2-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 810pm (2-LB).
Up 555am: Sunny & breezy with temps to upper 70's.
Watched 'COME TRUE' (Kanopy- borrowed yesterday). An eighteen year old girl has left her home (we never learn why) and enrolls in a sleep study program because she has nowhere to stay. Nothing in the plot can be accepted as real and it probably is all dream by someone who has been out of it for a couple of decades. Lots of dramatic tension, but only an adequate payoff, yet I liked it. 7 wins & 11 nominations; "68" Metascore and I would have rated it slightly higher; with Julia Sarah Stone ... "If you can read this you have been in a coma for 20 years..."- final shot of the film.
Watched 'STATELESS' (Kanopy- only 1 credit left for May). A low budget documentary about a woman running for congress in the Dominican Republic. She is trying to address the problem of 200,000 Hatians who are without a country. Born in the Dominican Republic, but their 'proof' is ruled inadmissible.
Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic, ordered the killing of thousands (between 12,000 and 35,000) to 'whiten the race'. "The Parsley Massacre"; 'Shibboleth'-A word or phrase that distinguishes one group from another. Hatians were asked to pronounce the word 'parsley'. If they said it wrong they were executed as Hatian.I was going to watch 'HONEY BEE' (Tubi)- {This one also stars Julia Sarah Stone}, but I decided to see it tomorrow morning.
Watched another 10 minute film starring Joe List- getting street parking in NYC.
Watched a 20 minute video about a guy trashing Bert & Tom for disrespecting Tony Hinchcliffe at the Tom Brady roast. I think I only watched it so that I could postpone the yardwork. Why do I dislike this task so much?
1215pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill.
1245pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; complete 'TUESDAYS WITH STORIES'; began NEAL BRENNAN on 'BERTCAST'.
Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps
235pm-335: (Back) Yard Work; hacked at the old bush by the spare bedroom & slashed weeds by the security fence. It was relatively painless and made at least an hour's worth of difference.
***I talked with the guy next door and he said he would blow the leaves off the roof; tomorrow 8am- $40.
Reading 'THE GEMINI CONTENDERS'.
440pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of NEAL BRENNAN on 'BERTCAST'.
540pm: In the tub with 'THE GEMINI CONTENDERS' and listening to ROBIN TROWER- 'Victims of the Fury'; JACK BRUCE- 'B.L.T.; BEST OF CHESS RECORDS; HULLABALLOOS Playlist.
More of NEAL BRENNAN on 'BERTCAST'.
More of 'THE UNKNOWN HITMAN: The Story of El Cholo Adrian' (Netflix). It's cheesy & lurid and well worth a look. I shut it down 40 minutes into episode #3.
