Tu 9/22/26- Computer Problems {Tech2Door}

 Tu 9/22/26- Computer Problems {Tech2Door} 755am (GB: 5/ Green Crack). 1155am (3-B: Red Congolese). 550pm (4-B: Green Crack). 825pm (GB: 4/ Red Congolese).  Up 645am {listening to NPR from 6am}. Cloudy with temps to upper 60's. Watched 'ILL MANORS' (Hoopla). It's a film directed by an English Rap star (Ben Drew AKA 'Plan B') who conjures the most negative presentation of urban life possible. It features an almost absurd amount of drugs, prostitutes, violence, poverty, and random deaths. Highlight:  An infant is dropped from a second floor window to escape a fire. The baby is saved, but the 'dropper' must jump and he dies. The film's tone is so 'real' that the street vernacular wasn't even close to the actual dialogue and the subtitles lagged behind by about ten seconds. This made them completely useless. It was like the people in charge of the subtitles couldn't even penetrate their meaning. A very grim and dire film and therefore onl...

Mo 9/21/26- Tech2Door: 1030am: Christian

Up 645am: Cloudy and temps only to mid 60's. The first taste of Fall. [235pm: I noticed that Fall begins tomorrow]. ***Last night I took the last of the 'anti-constipation' medicine. That is no longer the issue and the magic bullet was either the pills or the double shot of MiraLAX daily. Can I postpone the colonoscopy? Watched 'THE PRESIDENT'S CAKE' (Netflix). At school a nine year old girl is chosen to make a cake for Saddam Hussein's 50th birthday, but she doesn't have the money to buy any of the ingredients.  She takes a classmate (and her pet rooster) to town to see if they can somehow get it done. Filmed in the Mesopotamian Marshes of Southern Iraq. All of their huts are made of reeds that are intricately woven into all kinds of textur...

The guy drives a white pickup and leaves for work very early. 940am: I walked over and there were too many people and I just walked back home.  Watched 'HEEL' (Kanopy). A young hooligan is snatched off the streets of London and whisked away to a manor house in a very remote area of the country. The family that kidnapped the thug only wanted to change his antisocial attitudes and mold him into a model citizen worthy of their love. The movie ends with the reformed thug returning to the site of his imprisonment. He is so taken with 'the program' that he brings an unconscious lady friend...

Sa 9/19/26

 Sa 9/19/26 810am (GB: 5/ Green Crack). 840am (4-B: Red Congolese). 1pm (GB: 5/ Green Crack). 430pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 530pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 825pm (GB: 5/ Green Crack).  Up 710am: Cloudy & muggy with temps to about 90. Temperatures will drop almost thirty degrees on Monday.  I cleared out the dying pansies from the porch planter, but the ones under the bedroom windows are still going.  ***The AI Mode tab is gone from the homepage. I learned that if you hover over the far right of the search bar and click, the search will be through AI Mode. Nobody mentioned this online.   Watched 'WINDOWS ON THE WORLD' (Hoopla). Dad worked at the Twin Towers on 9/11 and his son travels from Mexico to NYC to find out if he survived. He finds dad, but the older man admits that he abandoned his Mexican family and that he wanted to live in the states. Then he decides to return to Mexico and the son decides to stay. Much of the story is beyond plausible, but inc...

Fr 9/18/26

 Fr 9/18/26 735am (4-B: Green Crack). 930am (4-B: Red Congolese). 1240pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 535pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 825pm (4-B: Green Crack).  Up 645am: Cloudy & muggy with temps to upper 80's. {windows open until 1130am}. When I opened the living room PC I got the same prompt to 'restart'. I can't believe I took the risk, but no problems and I will call the computer guys {Tech2Door} as soon as they open and  schedule a visit.  Finished 'JUST ONE LOOK' (Netflix). The title refers to the name of a song. The sister of a band member orchestrated the murders and kidnappings so that she could get the royalties from the band's hit, 'Just One Look'. The band's name is 'LAAD' and in Polish it means 'order & harmony'. Although the series was a bit confusing, it was an engaging and compelling drama.  Began 'TEENAGE WASTELAND' (Netflix). In the early 90's a high school teacher of 'Electronic English' de...

Th 9/17/26- Computer Problems

 Th 9/17/26- Computer Problems 730am (GB: 5/ Green Crack). 850am (4-B: Green Crack).  1230pm (GB :6/ Green Crack). 440pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 530pm (GB: 5/ Green Crack). {no weed} Up 640am: Sunny & hot with temps to lower 90's and there's a Heat Advisory in effect. Watched 'SAINT OMER' (Kanopy). It's a look at 'Infanticide', displaced persons, and motherhood within the parameter of a courtroom drama. Very much an Art Film and the acting is mesmerizing, but it's more than a little confusing. The tall, strikingly elegant female character who is also pregnant and experiencing the revelations of the trial seems tacked on to the primary storyline. The defendant lived in southeastern Paris near Bois de Vincennes; a big park (hiking, biking, botanical garden) just off the beltway. The baby is left on the beach at the coastal town of Berck-sur-Mer, France. This is in southwestern France not too far from Le Treport on the Spanish border. "91" Met...

We 9/16/26

 We 9/16/26 730am (GB: 5/ Green Crack). 820am (4-B: Red Congolese). 945am (3-B: Red Congolese). 1220pm (GB: 6/ Green Crack). 535pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 825pm (GB: 5/a mix of Green & Red).  Up 640am: Light showers early, then cloudy/ humid with temps to almost 90. {windows open till 9am}. Watched 'A CRIME STORY' (Hoopla). Employees at a budget motel on the outskirts of Las Vegas become drug dealers and get targeted by Italian, Russian, local mobsters, and the law. Every cliche in the books and no better than a very well done student film. The motel where most of the action takes place is at the 'historic' EL RANCHO BOULDER MOTEL that's in Boulder City, Nevada. That's about 25 miles southeast of Las Vegas.   Finished 'AVERAGE JOE' (Netflix). An unsatisfying ending, but it leaves the door wide open for a second season. From AI Mode: The second season the story shifts from Pittsburgh to (of all places?) Cape Town, South Africa. This was originally on ...
