Mostly sunny with temps to low 80's and not as humid.  An old gray sedan is connected to the guy that's working on the house next door. Somebody dropped him off just after 7am.  Picked up sticks and branches on the lawn. Watched 'DON'T SAY GOOD LUCK' (Netflix). {An Adam Sandler production}. A suburban family grapples with Mom's terminal cancer and recognition for their daughter when she scores the lead role in her high school play, 'Waitress'. Not as bad as it sounds, but just a little too sweet; with Sunny Sandler (Adam Sandler's daughter), Melanie Lynskey, Steve Buscemi. "73" Metascore and that's where I'd leave it. "Waitress' is a real Broadway play.   10am: I reported the non working street light out front. Watched 'INSTADOCS...

Mostly sunny and less humid with temps only to about 80. Watched 'WINONA' (Amazon Prime). Four young women in their late teens enjoy a day at the beach. However, late in the film the girls reveal that the encounter is more of a funeral (celebration of life?) for one of their friends' death.  The couple in the Range Rover were the parents of the deceased girl, Winona and in the final scene workers are assembling a Tiki bar on the beach signifying that life moves on. Shot entirely on Zorkos Beach, located on the northern side of Andros Island, Greece.   920am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing to call Joe and head back to Plains. 930am & arrived 10am & left 115pm.

Weekly Cleaning Watched 'MOTEL DESTINO' (Kanopy). An odd Brazilian Film Noir/ Art Film about a criminal who hides out at a 'hot sheet' motel and falls in lust with the owner's wife. Odd Scenes: moaning & shrieking in the motel corridors; the lovers digging their graves at gunpoint and stark naked; the owner hits a horse in his jeep and is killed; the guy ends up working in a Brazilian ice factory shoveling cubes and says he will meet his love maybe in another lifetime. "74" Metascore and I would go to "81". Shot along the coast of Ceara which is along the Atlantic ocean in Northeastern Brazil.   Began 'INSIDE THE TRUSTOR SCANDAL' (Netflix). Bigg...

Up 7am: Random storms all morning, then cloudy & sweltering with temps almost to 90.  I did a restart just after I opened the internet, and then twenty minutes after I started working I got a 'restart' prompt.   I filled out most of the 'pre-visit' forms for the doctor appointment on Tuesday, and the rest I will do in person.  Watched 'THE BEACH HOUSE MURDERS' (Netflix). A female writer is harassed by the men in her life. She splits to a Malibu beach house and three men end up dead. The story was so ridiculous that a seven year old wouldn't buy into it. I gave it 'one thumb down'. Filmed in greater Los Angeles and along the Malibu Coastline. 945am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a trip to Plains. 10am & arrived 1025am-To Pleasant Plains...Joe lef...

And, the coffee maker stopped working.  I took a blue pill laxative and a 'gentle' tablet and got relief, but this shouldn't be necessary. When the Martinek's office calls I'll tell them that I need 'the next step'. ***850am: I got a call from the nurse at Martinek's office. Made an appointment with Dr. Martinek on Tuesday at 440pm.  Watched 'THE LAST HOUSE' (Netflix). It's the cracked & silly tale of an alien invasion that brings a family closer together. A Seattle couple with their son and daughter are 'sealed' into their suburban home by a mysterious and sentient rain. Their ...

Even more heat and humidity for the weekend. There was no mention of last night's outage at Xfinity. Why would they tell me that it would be restored at 435am? Watched 'INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE' (Netflix). The AMC version makes it all about the gay relationship between Louis and Lestat and the racist attitudes {Jim Crow} in early 20th century New Orleans. Anne Rice and her son did not OK the final project and Anne died before they finished and she never saw the final product. And, in the novel the character of Louis was not a black man. The series is set in Storyville in the early 20th century and the novel was set in Louisiana during the 18th century. Both the series (100% more references) and the book have elements of a gay romance....
