Sa 4/4/26

 Sa 4/4/26 650am {1/4 'Extreme Chill' 150 mg: 37 mg total}. 655am (GB: 7/ Hybrid Popcorn). 9am (4-B: Green Apple Gas). 1250pm (GB: 5/ Hybrid Popcorn). 535pm (GB: 5/ Green Apple Gas).  Up 6am: Morning showers give way to cloudy skies, breezy with temps to about 60. Watched '10 x 10' (Netflix). Another film where suspension of disbelief is imperative. A man kidnaps a woman in the parking lot of an LA Fitness in suburban Atlanta. For over half of the film it isn't revealed why the man has taken this woman. The answer is so far-fetched that the action might as well have occurred in an alternative universe. The kidnapped woman was a nurse (she's assumed the identity of her dead twin) and was a kind of 'angel of death' and she wants a new start away from the hospital authorities, the police, and the media. The kidnapped woman killed the man's wife because she was cheating on him and the nurse liked to punish sinners. File under 'torture porn' at no...

Fr 4/3/26

 Fr 4/3/26 745am (GB: 7/ Hybrid Popcorn). 1025am (3-B: Green Apple Gas). 1205pm (GB: 4/ Hybrid Popcorn). 230pm (2: black pen vape/  2 hits). 535pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). Up 645am: Cloudy with storms predicted for this afternoon and tonight and temps to about 80. ***Just as I began the film I noticed a prompt for a 'restart'. This was the update that produced the black & white frizzy distortion on the downstairs PC. This morning's update was completely ordinary and no 'snow squall', but big anxiety.  Watched 'THE GIANT FALLS' (Netflix). A father has terminal cancer and visits his adult son who he has not seen or spoken to in twenty-eight years ago. He wants to 'reconnect' with the son and the boy's mother, who was the love of his life. The son gives him poison (assisted suicide from the neighborhood 'shaman') so that he can end his life with dignity, and everyone lives happily ever after. The young man was cited by the police for bea...

Th 4/2/26

 Th 4/2/26 640am (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 935am (3-B: Green Apple Gas). 1215pm (GB: a mix of Hybrid Popcorn & Green Apple Gas). 550pm (GB: 6. Hybrid Popcorn). 840pm (GB: 6/ Green Apple Gas).  Up 545am: Very windy with temps to about 70 and rain is in the forecast through Saturday. Watched '28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE' (Netflix). It's a kind of thinking man's look at a post-apocalyptic world where there is a holy war between Atheists, Satanists, and Zombies. The theme is that nobody can even remember the order & stability of civilized life and the evil inherent in mankind is unleashed & amplified; with Chi Lewis-Parry (he plays 'Samson' and the actor is 6'9"), Jack O'Connell (he plays 'Sir Jimmy Crystal' {The Son of Satan}), Ralph Fiennes (he plays 'Dr. Kelson' {Satan}, Cillian Murphy is in the final scene (uncredited) and paves the way for another installment. Written by Alex Garland. "81" Metascore and I wo...

We 4/1/26

 We 4/1/26 740am (1/4 'Extreme Chill' 150 mg: 37 mg total). 745am (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 1225pm (GB: 7/ Green Apple Gas). 450pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 645am {well rested}. A rainy morning with showers possible all day and temps only to high 50's. I put a bunch of  wet leaves and the four plastic cassette cases in the 'big blue can' for today's pickup.  Watched 'THE RED LINE' (Netflix). The reason that one of the women gave the scammers the money was that any investigation into the scammer's operation might lead the police to her husband's accounts. Hubby had never paid taxes and he would go to jail, so the wife gave up their savings to the thieves. She lost $500,000 Thai baht to the scammers and that's $15,355 usd. The restaurant 'Sortrel's Cottage' is featured in the film and is located just south of downtown Bangkok, Thailand. At the end of the movie 'the gang' is seen traveling from Bangkok to Sa Kaeo province w...

Tu 3/31/26

 Tu 3/31/26 735am (GB & B: 8/***Opened Today-' Green Apple Gas' (Sativa). 1040am (4-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 140pm (GB: 4/ Green Apple Gas).  550pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 540am {couldn't sleep}. Cloudy & breezy (chance of rain this afternoon) and temps to about 80. I tried to write a positive review for AK CONTRACTING LLC and it was confusing. I think that I posted on their Facebook page, but I'm not certain. At least Adrian got the fifty dollar coupon at Menards.   945am : I got a call from Tyler 'Perfect Choice' just to ask how the job went. I gave Adrian a glowing (verbal) review. These guys are on top of their game because they understand that a follow-up call is always smart because it is good for future business. And, I am a 'Preferred Customer'...damn tootin'. Watched 'ENDER'S GAME' (Tubi). Probably one of the most 'pro-war' films that I've ever seen in a long time. The Mormon author, Orson Scott Card manages t...

Mo 3/30/26

 Mo 3/30/26 805am (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn)......Ahhhh!!!! 915am {1/4 of 100 mg VIIA 'Day Drift': 25 mg total}. 1025am (2-B: Frozen Lemonade). 140pm (GB: 5/ Hybrid Popcorn). 530pm (GB: 6/ a mix of Hybrid & Frozen).  Up 7am: {couldn't sleep}. Partly cloudy & windy with temps to low 80's. I vacuumed the living room, hallway, bathroom, and kitchen & put the items back into the cabinets in the bathroom. Watched 'My Brooklyn' (Kanopy). A thought provoking documentary about the racial and class aspects of Gentrification. When poor people get money from the government, it's called 'Welfare'. When rich developers get money from the government, it's called 'Subsidies' and 'Incentives'. If the government can let communities be 'redlined' and sold out to the highest bidder, then why do we need a government? City planners are actually acting against the best interest of the people that live in that community. Why can't i...

Su 3/29/26- Bathroom Remodel: Day Three

 Su 3/29/26- Bathroom Remodel: Day Three Up 545am: {To the alarm} Partly cloudy & breezy with temps to mid 60's.  Constipation is no longer an issue and I really haven't eaten enough in the last couple of days but I feel OK, just very drained.  Since yesterday I've been pissing in an empty gallon laundry soap container.  Works great. And, I'm really glad that Tyler recommended the American Standard toilet. It's ten times better than the old Toto model.  This morning I had three cups of coffee and didn't even turn on the living room computer. I was reading the Orson Scott Card novel, 'PRENTICE ALVIN'. I'm hooked on the story and will buy more of this series. It's a semi-fictional & slightly mystical profile of colonial America 'that might have been'.  The installer called 740am and told me that he would stop at Lowe's for a faucet for the tub which 'Perfect Choice' had forgotten to give him and he got to Westview about ...
