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 ...

(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...

Partly sunny with temps to low 80's. Watched 'LAZARETH' (Netflix). A tepid post apocalypse tale about a woman and her two adult orphaned nieces living in quarantine at a remote cabin (named 'Lazareth') during a deadly global pandemic. And then they let a strange  young man into their isolated world and he becomes part of 'the family'; with Ashley Judd. This has been done many times before and much better.   930am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a trip to Pleasant Plains...Sitting Shiva in reverse & before the 'Passover'.  945am- 1005am: To Pleasant Plains...When I arrived a nurse- aid, Jamie, & Joe were giving Janny a bath. It sounded painful. The bath aid, Jamie & Joe were on the case. Her bed sores are getting wor...

She gets taken in by a middle aged woman and 'The Men' (her husband and son). Big Reveal: Mom was seeking a 'replacement' ('reflection'?) for her daughter who committed suicide. I thought that there would be a bit more to the story. Shot in Berlin and the Uckermark region in Brandenburg, Germany. This area is north of Berlin, Germany on the Polish border. Directed and written by Christian Petzold. "78" Metascore and that's about where I'd put it. From THE PLAYLIST- "While Mirrors No.3 does not put a foot wrong, it does not display the narrative and formal intricac...
