The Cheese Stands Alone

 Mo 6/30/25- Gummy  730am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 805am (2 hits-B: Popcorn). 820am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 1235pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). 1245pm [I got off the treadmill to take a leak & I took 1/4 of a VIIA 100 mg (Blue): 25 total]. 215pm (1/2 LB: Purple Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). 810pm (1-LB: Popcorn).  Up 6am: Partly cloudy with temps to upper 80's & a reasonable chance of afternoon thunderstorms.  ***7am: I was using the grass whip on the front clover when the woman across the street asked me about any drainage issues that I might have at 940. She mentioned that they are going to have a big tree removed from their backyard. She believes that the roots of this tree are causing problems with their sewer lines. The tree removal will be a major undertaking, and then some.  I borrowed 'THE ANIMAL KINGDOM' (Kanopy) & 'THE ITALIAN JOB' (Hoopla) to get as many movies as I could for June.  Finished 'BRAVEHEART' (Kanopy- borrowed yesterday). Direct...

Su 6/29/25- Gummy 720am {I took 1/2 100 mg VIIA Gummy: 50 mg total}. 745am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 835am (3 hits-B: Popcorn). 10am (3 hits-B: Purple Punch). 1255pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Popcorn). 815pm (1-LB: Popcorn).  Up 620am (Listened to the new radio. Simple & Effective). Partly cloudy with temps to upper 80's with crushing humidity. Weekly Cleaning ***50 mg doesn't pack as big a wallop unless you walk briskly while coming on. Began 'BRAVEHEART' (Kanopy).  The movie is not as much 'directed' as it is 'dictated'. I shut it down at 1' 37" and about an hour and twenty left. I'll watch it tomorrow morning. It cost me extra credits at Kanopy and I could have done it for less at Hoopla.  Finished 'MARLEY' (Hoopla). He died of cancer and he was only 36 years old. More 'MARCELLA' (Netflix). I shut it down 15 minutes into episode #6. This still makes little sense, but it's compelling as hell. Contemporary Londo...

 Sa 6/28/25 735am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 810am ( 3 hits-B: Popcorn). 955am (1-LB: Popcorn). 1255pm (1-LB:Purple Punch). 235pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Popcorn). 815pm (1-LB: Popcorn).  I woke up at 5am but listened to the radio {the new radio is to arrive later today. (It did!)} till 640am: A mix of sun & clouds with temps to about 90. The crushing humidity is still very much a factor.  Wrote up 'A MONTH OF SUNDAYS' by John Updike for the blog. Watched 'HER BODY' (Kanopy). A female Czech Olympic high diver suffers a serious spinal injury and becomes a porn star. She died of brain cancer at the age of 27. The subject was far more interesting than the presentation. The film never rises above 'Lackluster'.  Began 'MARLEY' (Hoopla- 2hrs 24 mins). Bob's father was a white man whose family owned one of the largest construction companies on the island of Jamaica. For a short time Bob relocated to Willmington, Delaware to be with his mother when...

 Fr 6/27/25- Gummy 745am {I took 1/2 of a 'DIET SMOKE' 125 mg: 62 mg total}. 750am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 835am (3 hits-B: Popcorn). 10am (2 hits-B: Popcon). 1255pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). 225pm (1/2-LB: Purple Punch). 530pm (1-LB: Popcorn). 815pm (1-LB: Popcorn).  Up 5am to take a leak & napped/ radio till 645am: Highs only to mid 80's but 80% humidity keeps it sweltering & a 30% chance of storms this afternoon.  ***Half of a 125 mg 'DIET SMOKE' is a perfect dose and a secondary bonus is that it increases the potency of smoked flower for several hours.  Watched 'SLOW BURN' (Amazon Prime- leaves in 3 days).  A Police Thriller that kicks off when an assistant DA kills a man in her bed and claims it was rape. The plot was insanely complicated and involved her 'passing as black' and a dilapidated apartment complex worth 500 million if it is burned to the ground; with Ray Liotta, LL Cool J, Mekhi Phifer, Chiwetel Ejiofor. "34" Metascore an...

Th 6/26/25- Groceries 650am (1/2 LB: Cookie Bread). 825am (1-LB: Purple Punch- NEW!!!). 9am (2 hits-B: Popcorn). 1045am (2 hits-B: Popcorn). 1pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Popcorn). 810pm (1-LB: Popcorn).  Up 620am: More intense heat & humidity although the Heat Advisory ends at 7pm this evening. 705am: To County Market: $103 and put away by 750am.   Watched 'GREEN BONES' (Netflix). A Malaysian prison guard works the same facility as the man who was incarcerated for the murder of his sister. Later the guard learns that the man was not only innocent, but a virtual saint among men. Corny to the extreme and I gave it 'one thumb down'.  Indonesian Folklore?- "If green bones are found among the bones of a deceased person it signifies that this was a very good person". Began 'GOEBBELS AND THE FUHRER' (Amazon Prime). I've seen this before, but well worth a second look. Very much a fact based look at the daily operation and implementation of Hi...

 We 6/25/25- Gummy  750am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 820am (2 hits-B: Popcorn). 1005am (1-LB: Popcorn). 1250pm [I took 1/3 VIIA 'DAY DRIFT' (Sativa- gold colored)- 33 mg total]. 1pm (1-LB:  Cookie Bread). 235pm (2 hits-LB: Cookie Bread). 540pm (1-LB:  Cookie Bread). Up 635am: {Restless night} More brutal heat & humidity with temps to low 90's. Heat Advisory until tomorrow evening. Watered front flowers Watched 'THE HIT' (Amazon Prime). From IMDB: "Ten years after Willie Parker ratted on his old mobster friends in exchange for personal immunity, two hit men kidnap him and drive him to Paris for his planned execution. However, they encounter many mishaps along the way." It's a character study about a man who took a decade to realize that life is fleeting and death awaits us all. Beautifully shot in very remote areas of central and northern Spain- photography was exquisite; with Terrence Stamp, John Hurt, Tim Roth (bleached blonde and looks like a teen). D...
