I memorized the chorus of “Turlututu Capot Pointu” (You Kill With the Hood of Your Car). I revised my translation of the chorus and the first two verses. The song addresses someone who uses their car as a weapon to kill animals.
I played my Martin acoustic guitar for the second of four sessions. It went out of tune a little more than usual (perhaps because it was raining) but not too much.
I weighed 86.7 kilos before breakfast.
Around midday I brought in the step ladder and washed the drywall compound dust from the ceiling and the upper walls. Next time I’ll probably finish washing the rest of the walls.
I weighed 86.9 kilos before lunch. I had saltines with five-year-old cheddar and a glass of home made iced tea that I made yesterday with lemon and honey.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back. I rode my Surly of which yesterday I raised the seat so it matches the height of my Raleigh saddle. I didn’t want to adjust my body to two different heights even though the Raleigh seat is slightly too high. But it can’t be lowered so I thought I’d harmonize the two bikes. Supposedly the saddle on the Raleigh will drop just from the leather settling down and so when that happens I’ll lower the Surly’s saddle as well.
I weighed 86.05 kilos at 17:45.
I was caught up with my journal at 18:49.
I worked on the Movie Maker project to create a video for the Christian and the Lions studio recording of Brian Haddon’s “The Ballad of My Chest Cavity”. The line that begins with “One little sniff” had the video ahead of the audio and so to push it back I added another clip of the monkeys from the 1930s cartoon “Swing Monkey Swing”. Just before “One little sniff” I’m singing “Ahhh ahhh” and so I inserted a clip of one of the monkeys looking like it’s holding a note. Then I synchronized the video with the audio for “One little sniff”. Then they are still lined up for “Even a whiff of that glorious air” but then it went out of sync again for “and I would know that you truly care”, during which I also extend a note and so I added another monkey clip to fit with that. That put the line in sync again and it continued through “Just one drop to wet my lips” but then it goes off again for “Yeah one little sip”. Next time I’ll figure out how to get it back in sync. There are about thirty seconds of vocals left in the song.
In my “2024-10-04 Song Practice” Movie Maker project I got the audio just a few seconds behind the video. Next time I should have them lined up.
I made two burgers from the New Zealand ground beef I’d thawed out and had one between two halves of a toasted slice of multigrain sandwich bread with chili sauce, Dijon, and a sliced gherkin pickle. I had it with a beer while watching the first episode of The Bold Ones: The Lawyers.
A beach house is dynamited and Fritz Carlin is killed. The man’s wife Anne is arrested and so is her boyfriend Ralph Norton. They are questioned in separate rooms and both say they will not make a statement. Both are told that the other has made a full confession involving the other in the murder but the cops are lying to get them to talk. The woman asks for an attorney and calls Nichols, Darrell and Darrell. A coin is flipped and Neil Darrell has to take the case. Anne asks Neil to also take Ralph’s case and he agrees. At the preliminary hearing the cops reveal that they found dynamite hidden in Norton’s garage. Norton says he has never handled dynamite in his life. The warrant to search Norton’s garage specifically said to look for dynamite and it was filled out by Lieutenant Anderson. When Neil leaves the courthouse he is approached by a man named Kevorkian who tells him he killed Carlin. He says he was recently fired from a road construction job by Carlin for smoking around the dynamite. He was angry about this because he doesn’t smoke and Carlin had falsely accused him. He had no intention of killing Carlin and just wanted to blow up his beach house without knowing there was someone inside. Neil asks if he planted the dynamite in Norton’s garage and he says he didn’t. Kevorkian turns himself in and makes a full confession. Neil suspects Anderson of planting the dynamite. He goes to a supplier and finds that Anderson has bought dynamite from him to clear rocks on a property he bought outside of town. Neil goes at night to Anderson’s property to investigate and is hit from behind. Next we see him in a sleezy room on a bed high on heroin. Anderson goes to his office at the police station and arranges for a call to be made about a pot party at a certain address. He goes with the other cops who find Neil on the bed and a pack of heroin in the room. Next we see Neil’s brother Brian under cover and pretending to be a junkie looking for a fix. Brian meets with a guy named Pozen who says he can get him some heroin and then Brian reveals he’s really looking for Anderson. Pozen tries to get away but Brian offers him $500 and assures him he’s not a cop. Pozen says he knows a woman named Milly who knows Anderson’s stoolie. Brian finds Milly in an abandoned house full of junkies. She says a guy named Freddie meets Anderson once a week at a boat repair place. Brian goes there and from hiding watches Anderson meet with Freddie. After Anderson leaves, Brian follows Freddie but Freddie sees him and tries to run. Brian catches him. However, Anderson hasn’t left and tries to sneak up behind but Brian sees him and knocks him over. Anderson falls to the next level and is injured. Freddie admits he bought the heroin for Anderson but says he won’t testify. Brian says if he doesn’t he’ll let everybody know he’s a stoolie. If he does he’ll have plenty of cash and help. Anderson is taken to the hospital but later he’ll be charged. Nichols, the senior lawyer of the firm is going to defend Anderson.
Anne Carlin was played by Sandra Smith, who married actor and bodybuilder Steve Reeves when she was 17 but divorced him when she was 18. Her TV debut was in The Naked City. She played Dr. Janice Lester a former lover of Captain Kirk on the Star Trek episode “The Turnabout Intruder” in which she uses a device to switch bodies with Kirk. She is the only other actor to have played Kirk in the TV series. She played Dr. Lydia Thorpe on The Interns.
