We 5/22/24- 1st Time FitBit GPS

 We 5/22/24- 1st Time FitBit GPS

725am (2-LB). 805am (1-B). 955am (1-LB). 1210pm (2-LB). 545pm (2-LB). 810pm (2-LB). 

Up 6am: A mix of sun & clouds and much cooler with temps only to mid 70's.

Wrote up 'TOTAL CONTROL' by David Baldacci for the blog.

Watched 'TWO FACES OF JANUARY' (Hoopla). An American couple visit Greece and meet a helpful travel guide. The husband is a con artist and he and his wife are running from mob debt collectors. The guide tries to help, but soon is in over his head. Halfway through the film I thought it reminded me of something Patricia Highsmith might have written, and I was correct; with Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, and Oscar Isaac. "66" Metascore and I would have rated it slightly higher. 

Began 'VERSAILLES' (Tubi). The sound was messed up and it sounded like a wire was not properly connected. I gave up. Tubi also has the '30 second' fast forward/ Rewind. That is far too long and I thought they had changed to the common '10 second' setting. 

More of 'WILD DISTRICT' (Netflix). Finished episode #5 and another character from the first season returns. It is the main character's son...that he was not aware of. The scenes are strong enough to make it worthwhile, but remembering the history is confusing. 

1115am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do a long walk and use the GPS paired to the FitBit to see just how long my 'Two Hour Walk' actually is. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. 

1225pm: [1st use of GPS] Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Outer Park,  Lincoln,  Leland,  Walnut,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...SHELLAC Playlist; Began TERRENCE HOWARD on J.R.E. [a few sprinkles when I was in the park on the way back]...2 hrs 3 mins according to the app.

Reading 'THE FALCONER'

455pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began JIM GAFFIGAN on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

550pm: in the tub with 'THE FALCONER' and listening to TRAFFIC Playlist; SHELLAC Playlist;  PIXIES Playlist. 

More of JIM GAFFIGAN on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

More 'WILD DISTRICT' (Netflix). I shut it down 25 minutes into episode #7. I don't know any of the political relationships between Venezuela and Colombia and the series assumes that viewers (1st Netflix series produced in Colombia) will understand without any background info. And, I'll make a note to check out the 'General Amnesty' program for 'enemies of the state' (guerrillas), if that's what it was.

#1761 Jim Gaffigan on J.R.E.

Watch 'MASTER GARDENER' (Hoopla) on Thursday morning. Borrow 'RIPLEY' with 'THE FALCONER Malkovich.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. 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...
