715am (2-LB). 810am (1-B). 920am (1-B). 1035am (1-B). 115pm (2-LB). 305pm (1-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB).

Watered flowers

Watched 'CLUB ZERO' (Hoopla). A total mind blower! A teacher in a posh private school convinces a group of her students that people do not need to eat. Nutrition is only a matter of mind over matter. The film is a superb satire of people who embrace rigid and absolute beliefs of any kind. Extremism is just another form of 'Faith'. In the final scene the parents decide if they want to stop eating and one of the students exclaims, "But, you would need Faith".  Beautifully colorful sets, a very unique soundscape, and the fact that it happens during Christmas is really a nice  touch because the mood of the film is the very antithesis of 'The Holiday Season'; with Mia Wasikowska; 3 wins & 8 nominations. "57" Metascore and I would have rated this significantly higher, but I realize that many would find the film offensive because of its' Anti-Christian tone.  I really liked this one!

Watched a 17" YouTube interview with JESSICA HAUSNER the director of 'CLUB ZERO'.

Began 'GOING CLEAR': Scientology and The Prison of Belief' (Amazon Prime). This documentary is directed by Alex Gibney who is probably the best documentarian in the business. I shut it down with one hour to go and I'll finish tonight. 

Wrote The Chat

1250pm: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill and then a visit to County Market. 

120pm:  FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began SAL VULCANO on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps 

315pm- 415pm:  To County Market & put away; $122.00.

Reading 'THE QUIET GAME'

 540pm:  In the tub with 'THE QUIET GAME' and listening to Early JACK BRUCE; KING CRIMSON- 'Lizard'; SONICS Playlist; JAMES CHANCE & THE CONTORTIONS Playlist. 

Finished SAL VULCANO on 'We Might Be Drunk'.

Finished 'GOING CLEAR: Scientology and The Prison of Belief' (Amazon Prime). I would have liked to hear the IRS argument that this corrupt organization was a church. Just a bunch of 'talking heads', but this was a superior documentary.

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).
