The Cheese Stands Alone

It's a documentary about homeless youth. The film is a decade old and I'm sure that things are far worse. There hasn't been a government study to even determine how many children are on the streets and estimates range from 40,000 to over 2,000,000. Kind of bland and no solutions were suggested.  920am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a drive in the country. 945am- 110pm:Pleasant Plains...Joe was by himself when I arrived and he was kind of expecting a nurse, but nobody showed. Ben Brown and his wife arrived and only stayed for about ten minutes. His wife had made a quilt for Janny and she autographed it. Joe said that Janny has been sleeping for 22 hours a day, but I think it's more than ...

Very hot & nasty for the rest of the week.  Weekly Cleaning...also, prompt for a 'restart'. No discernible difference. 'Hoopla' reached the library's limit before 8am.  Watched 'WILD DIAMOND' (Kanopy). A cracked portrait of a young woman who is striving to become an internet sensation as her life implodes. Will internet fame 'heal' her broken life?..."TikTok Energy meets Social Realism". "65" Metascore and I would go to "81". Set and filmed in Frejus, France which is the port town on the Cote d'Azur and it is about 25 miles south of Cannes. More 'BIG MISTAKES' (Netflix). I shut it down 19 minutes into episode #6. The sibling rivalry and petty sniping between the pastor a...

A bus driver forces the city of Barcelona to extend the routes to a poor community on the outside of the city. I had never seen 'double' buses before; a city bus hooked to another bus without a driver's compartment. The message is 'Power To The People'.  930am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a visit to Pleasant Plains. It could be a madhouse or all of the kids might be out playing sports.  945am: To Pleasant Plains...Melissa's car broke down on Friday so she was using Joe's Jeep and when I pulled into the drive and didn't see his car I thought no one was home.  Then, it turned into a very busy day. Joe & I sat with Janny & she was not very lucid and I'm not even sure she knew I was there. Usually the nurses don't come out ...

 Fr 8/28/26 740am (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 845am (6-B: NEW STRAIN...Durban Poison). 1210pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 535pm (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 825pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison).  Up 640am: Mostly sunny with light winds and temps to mid 80's. (Windows are still open) There doesn't seem to be a 'Boil Order' in Springfield and the water at 940 seems much clearer (back to normal?).  ***745am: Two trucks arrived to check my water. The CWLP guy said that I was the only one to call in a report on Westview, and it's possible that 940 was the only affected home. This seems questionable, but he gets the big bucks. They ran some test water from my outside faucet and opened the hydrant and checked under the manhole. Luckily, I had run water earlier and felt that I was in the clear. They were very responsive to my complaint.   Watched 'ALTERED STATES' (Hoopla). A sensory deprivation tank and psychedelic drugs become a gateway to a 'higher' power and during the process the rese...

The film is about the relationship between the painter, Lucien Freud, and Kate Moss, one of the most famous models on the planet. It was not very interesting; with Derek Jacobi & Ellie Bamber. 730am: The painter (next door) was dropped off around 730am. He was there yesterday and maybe they're close to putting it on the market? 930am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a trip to Pleasant Plains. 940am: Pleasant Plains...Joe was alone and we talked in the bedroom & the nurse arrived around 1130am. Checked vital signs & all OK [her heart is very strong]. She left and Pam (black social worker) talked about burial issues. 'LAMPLIGHT'- you donate the body and they pay all expenses, but she didn't have much information about indiv...

I'll have to close the windows by late morning.  Watched 'THE LAST VIKING' (Kanopy).  A droll comedy about a bank robber who has been released from prison and has never revealed the location of the stolen loot. His mentally challenged brother can't (will not?) remember where he stashed it because he believes that he is now the 'real' John Lennon. Nordic Fable: The son of a Viking king loses an arm and the king decrees that all males in the kingdom will lose an arm. The king reasoned that if everyone has only one arm this loss would not be a handicap, but the norm. 'Loomis' is a Swedish company that provides armored transportation and cash management and armored transportation. 'Manfred' (Mads Mikkelsen's character) suff...
