The Cheese Stands Alone

 Sa 9/12/26 805am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 845am (6-LB: Durban Poison).{905am took 1/4 VIIA 'Day Drift' 100 mg: 25 mg total}. 1210pm (GB: 4/ Durban Poison). 315pm (4-B: Durban Poison). 530pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 815pm  9GN: 5/ Durban Poison). Up 715am: Mostly sunny with temps to almost 90. {windows open for a while}. The Oaks street sale is going full swing. The house with the two girls has loads of junk and the people up the street have some full driveways. I slapped a 'FREE' sign on the living room lamp that I'm trying to get rid of. If somebody doesn't take it I will try to fit into the big blue can. {No takers by noon and I put the lamp in the garage for disposal}. ***25 mg was a prudent amount dose because I really got off. I was flying and it creates an excellent foundation for light rips on the bong. Four hours later and I was still buzzed. Watched '1408' (Kanopy). A ghost hunter tries to stay the night in a 'haunted' Manhattan hotel roo...

 Fr 9/11/26- Janny's Celebration of Life 205pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 335pm (4-B: Durban Poison). 540pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 825pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison).  Up 620am {by alarm}. Cloudy and humid with temps just over 80. {windows open} Yesterday during the rain a large branch fell at the house next door. The wood was rotted and I think that the soaking rain yesterday absorbed weight and caused it to fall. I put the branches in the gutter to be picked up.  I moved the standing lamp that shorts out in the living room. It isn't going to work and I've got to buy a lamp that directs the light to where I need it to read.  745am: Preparing to head to Cherry Hills in my new 'funeral' outfit; new Target shirt & suit pants from Jamie's wedding.  Joe called yesterday while I was on the treadmill around 5pm. He said that they would be there about 830am and I said I'd be there about 9am. Who is going to be able to attend if you have a job?  I watched a little of ...

 Th 9/10/26 720am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 8am (3-B: Durban Poison). 12pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 140pm (4-B: Durban Poison).  435pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 535pm (5-B: Durban Poison). 825pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison).  Up 645am: About a quarter of an inch of gently soaking rain all morning then cloudy skies with temps to mid 70's. Nice! 8am: I noticed a prompt to 'restart'. No difference is performance.  Watched 'Irena's Vow' (Netflix). Soon after the invasion of Poland a local woman becomes the housekeeper (and later his lover) for a high ranking Nazi officer. She was able to hide eleven Jews in the house that they shared (he was oblivious) until the end of the war. It's a Canadian film that was shot in Poland and based on the life of Irena Gut. "77" Metascore and I would go to "81".  Began 'BUNNY' (Netflix). I thought that I heard that the director of this film worked with Mark Normand and Sam Morrill on their upcoming movie. I shut...

  We 9/9/26 740am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 1145am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 535pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 820pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison).  Up 7am: Partly cloudy & humid with a chance {30%} of afternoon storms and temps to upper 80's. Watched 'THE WELL' (Hoopla). A very bland post-apocalyptic story about small groups of people trying to survive. Water is scarce and one 'family' must find a replacement part for their well to remain clean. It's a very slow moving plot and not much of a story to care about.  Filmed in Hamilton, Ontario which is just west of Niagara Falls. Watched 'INSTADOCS- THE DECOY PLANE' (Netflix- 30"). The mini-documentary details how Trump slipped off Air Force One into a catering truck in Turkey following a NATO summit on July 8, 2026, switching to a smaller military aircraft to evade a reported security threat involving Iran while reporters unknowingly stayed on the decoy plane. I guess the angle seemed to be that Trump was able ...

 Tu 9/8/26 750am (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 835am (3-B: Cat Piss). 1150am (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 535pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 815pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). Up 730am: Plenty of sunshine and temps to 90. {Windows open early, but AC  later} Watched 'KILLING THEM SOFTLY' (Hoopla). It's what might happen if two goons tried to knock over a high stakes poker game that's protected by the mob. Very well done with a stellar cast; Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, Richard Jenkins, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, James Gandolfini. "64" Metascore and I would easily go to "92". Based on the novel 'COGAN'S TRADE' by George V. Higgins. Watched 'HOT SUMMER NIGHTS' (Netflix). Set on Cape Cod in 1991 and concerns a couple of young guys who start dealing small amounts of weed and then grow the business to become a massive cannabis operation. I'll begin the film at home and finish at Planet Fitness. 1135am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a visit to Plane...

 Mo 9/7/26- Mowed The Lawn 740am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 1015am (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 315pm (4-B: Cat Piss). 530pm (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 820pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison).  Up 7am: Abundant sunshine & less humid with temps to low 80's. {730am: Windows Open All Day],. Finished 'BLOOD SACRIFICE' (Netflix). The painting that motivated the murders concerned the legend of King Domalde of the House of Ynglings. It's a Norse myth about a king who was sacrificed as an offering to the gods to end a multi-year famine. It must have worked because the next harvest was exceptional. It's a silly & illogical premise even for a myth. The reason the 'killer' cop targeted the police was that once he called for backup (his partner was critically wounded & later died), but the person in charge didn't send officers and then erased his call. This was one of the best Police Procedurals that I've seen in a long time.  10am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk ...
