Tu 4/28/26

 Tu 4/28/26 740am (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 835am (6-B: Cat Piss). 1005am (4-B: Cat Piss).  1pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 535pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 830pm (BG: 7/ Cat Piss).  Up 635am {well rested}. Cloudy & much cooler with temps only to mid 60's.  ***Last night the sump pump tripped the breaker. I flipped the switch and it was back, but this morning I noticed that it had kicked it again. The green light is on and 'all systems are Go', but are they? The fucker turns on, I can hear water sloshing, but is it working? Watched 'MEN OF WAR' (Kanopy- this wouldn't load yesterday). A fascinating documentary about former Green Beret, Jordan Goudreu's attempt to topple the government of Venezuela with a ragtag group of 'concerned patriots'. Or was it a clandestine operation that had the full support of the US government? It sure looks like Trump's guys were hedging their bets. If 'somebody else' launched a successful invasion, then they would tak...

Mo 4/27/26- Bad Storm

 Mo 4/27/26- Bad Storm 7am {1/2 VIIA 'Day Drift' (Blue) 100 mg: 50 mg total}. 7am (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 740am (4-B: Cat Piss). 945am (4-B: Cat Piss). 1pm(GB: 6/Cat Piss). 435pm (4-B: Cat Piss). 535pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 825pm  Up 6am: "To Battle Stations"!!! The threat of strong winds & storms all day with 1- 2 inches of rain (later the estimate was upped to 2- 3 inches) predicted with temps to low 70's.  835am- 840am: Violent storm and power went out for a few seconds. That was the hardest I've seen it rain in years. The rain gauge says we got about an inch in that brief downpour.  I had to 'restart' and turn on the speaker bar and more savage weather penciled in for this afternoon. {Two and 3/4 inches for the day}  Watched 'THE SHROUDS' (Kanopy- I first tried to watch 'MEN OF WAR', but it wouldn't load). David Cronenberg directs- Very odd tone; amputee-sex fetish? Body shroud in the grave allows loved ones to monitor d...

Su 4/26/26

 Su 4/26/26 7am {1/2 'Extreme Chill' 150 mg: 75 mg total}. 7am (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 740am (4-B: Cat Piss). 925am (6-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 120pm (GB: 6/ a mix of Cat & Hybrid). 540pm (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 825pm (GB: 5/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 545am: Partly sunny & breezy with temps to about 80.  Watched 'THE ROVER' (Hoopla). This was somewhat familiar from the start and very well worth a second look. Deep in the desert wilderness of Australia, a man's car is hijacked and he hunts down the villains to get back his ride. Many are shot and killed along the way, and the reason he wanted his car back was that his dog was in the trunk. He was on the way to bury his dog when his car was stolen. At IMDB I learned that the film was set ten years after a global collapse. I just thought it was deep in the Australian interior at some, not so distant 'contemporary' time period; with Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scoot McNairy. "64" Metascore and I would go to ...

Sa 4/25/26

 Sa 4/25/26 750am (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 820am (6-B: Cat Piss). 1010am (6-B: Hybrid Popcorn).  1215pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 540pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 820pm (GB: 5/ Hybrid Popcorn).   Up 630am: {well rested}. Bright & sunny with temps to upper 70's.  I added 'KINDRED' & 'DAWN' to my 'Books Recently Read' blog.  Watched 'JOINT SECURITY AREA' (Kanopy). Premise: A group of guards on the border between North and South Korea put political differences aside and become friends. An altercation occurs and two of the men are shot. An independent female officer is tasked with finding the whole story. The film was ineptly told and (kind of) a shame that such a (fairly) good idea was squandered.  The film was a hit in Korea, but I thought it was pretty weak and a lost opportunity. More 'BLACK RABBIT' (Netflix). I finished episode #3. According to AI Mode: Jason Bateman directed the first two episodes and episode #3 & 4 were directed by Laur...

Rain/ mist from about 7am till 10am, then cloudy & cooler with temps only to low 70's.  Watched 'SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS' (Hoopla). An absurdist comedy about an alcoholic screenwriter who cooks up a tale about a group of morally bankrupt men who are adversely connected by a 'dog-napped' Shih Tzu and an active serial killer; with Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Michael Pitt, Abbie Cornish, Christopher Walken, Harry Dean Stanton, Kevin Corrigan. "66" Metascore and I would go to "79".   Watched '180' (Netflix). A South African man's son is shot and killed in a road rage incident and he exacts his revenge. This was forgettable even while I was watching it...

Th 4/23/26- Painted The Stoop

 Th 4/23/26- Painted The Stoop 630am {1/2 VIIA 'Day Drift'- 100 mg: 50 mg total}. 635am (GB: 7/ Hybrid Popcorn). 750am (6-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 940am (5-B: NEW VARIETY: 'Cat Piss'; that's it for the Green Apple Gas). 2pm (GB: 5/ Hybrid Popcorn). 535pm (GB:  6/  Cat Piss). 835pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 530am: Partly cloudy & windy with temps to low 80's. The plan for today is to watch a movie and then put a coat of paint on the front stoop.  ***very high this morning; 50 mg & Hybrid is a dynamite combo. And, by noon I have run out of excuses to NOT paint the stoop. Watched 'PERDITA DURANGO' (Amazon Prime). The title is the name of the lead character. She's a badass and hooks up with a Mexican Santeria priest. There's kidnapping, gunplay, crazy car wrecks, and a semi full of dead fetuses. Very funny and transgressive to a fault; Rosie Perez, Javier Bardem, James Gandolfini, Screamin' Jay Hawkins.   Finished 'DELHI CRIME' (Net...

"I'll be in your dreams if you'll be in mine"... The film is a very clever satire that attempts to explore the relationship between 'Internet Famous' and 'Cancel Culture'. THEME: Your life may be fleeting, but your internet postings are immortal. His publisher thinks he wants to write a book about 'plants', but he's really saying 'ants' {Ant-telligence}; FACT (?): Zebras are striped because they confuse prey when they form a herd and an individual zebra will not 'stand out' to be 'picked off'; He is reading a book called 'WHY ZEBRAS DON'T GET ULCERS'; The agency wants to...
