Sa 7/25/26- Received Juror Questionnaire

 Sa 7/25/26- Received Juror Questionnaire 655am (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 7am {1/2 VIIA 'Day Drift' Sativa}. 740am (4-B: Red Congolese).  10am (GB: Red Congolese). 1220pm (5-B: Durban Poison). 405pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 535pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 830pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese).  Up 6am: Light showers early then cloudy with temps to mid 80's.  Watched 'DEAD TO RIGHTS' (Kanopy). This is a big budget contemporary Chinese film about 'NANJING MASSACRE' which began on December 13, 1937 and lasted about six weeks. 100,000 to 300,000 killed; widespread sexual violence- twenty to eighty thousand; burned down 1/3 of the city. This is heartfelt, pro-Chinese propaganda, but well shot and very interesting. Plot: A Chinese postman must develop negatives for the Japanese. Many civilians are hiding in the shop and they manage to secure photographic evidence of the atrocities.   945am: The PC is 'Off' and I'm going for a walk in the park. It's going to get ...

Fr 7/24/26

 Fr 7/24/26  710am (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 715am {1/2 'Extreme Chill' 150 mg: 75 mg total}. 750am (5-B: New Strain...Durban Poison). 10am (4-B: Red Congolese). 1pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 230pm (5-LB: [The old 'LB' still packs a wallop] 5/ Durban Poison). 455(GB: 4/ Red Congolese). 545pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 825pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese).  Up 620am: Cloudy with temps to upper 70's and a possible shower this afternoon.  I noticed that the red light on the wifi unit is back 'On'. No discernible difference, as usual. Why? Watched 'THE TRUTHERS' (Netflix). A Spanish woman leaves her career in Germany and returns to her family's home when she learns that her mother has died in a fall. Her father is a conspiracy nut and soon she fears he might be somehow connected to her mother's death. Then, you begin to suspect her because she is as obsessive as her dad. The film really worked by exploring the connection between mental illness and wild conspira...

Th 7/23/26- Mowed Lawn

 Th 7/23/26- Mowed Lawn  7am (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 735am (4-B: Red Congolese). 915am (4-B: Red Congolese). 150pm (4-B: Red Congolese). 4pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 535pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 830pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss).  Up 6am: Mostly sunny with temps only to upper 70's yet 'Heat Warnings' are forecast for early next week.  Watched 'PEACOCK' (Kanopy). It's a very strange & darkly satirical German Art Film. THE PREMISE: 'Impersonation For Hire'- A man runs a company that provides 'actors' to fill in for real situations in your life. Ex- 'Bring Dad To School Day':  Parents have hired a man to 'play' dad as an airplane pilot; A woman hires a person to 'practice arguing'. Her husband never listens, so she learns to assert herself (and gets a separation); Go on a 'spa date' with someone who wants to experience it with a partner.  One of the reviews said that there are real companies in Japan that provide these kinds of servi...

We 7/22/26- Eye Appointment: 1145am, west campus 6th St.

 We 7/22/26- Eye appointment: 1145am, west campus 6th St. 740am (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 830am (4-B: Cat Piss).  110pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 535pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 830pm (GB: Red Congolese).  Up 635am: Partly cloudy and much cooler with temps only to mid 70's. The windows are open! 9am: Next door a black pickup with a trailer pulled into the driveway at the abandoned house. When I looked again, ten minutes later, it was gone. I don't even know if they were picking up or dropping off. {Late I noticed that they left the trailer back by the garage}. Watched 'SHE SAID' (Netflix). It's about the Harvey Weinstein affair and concerns the two New York Times reporters who broke the story. This kicked off the 'Me Too Movement', but that phrase is never mentioned. The story has nothing to do with a 'sex island' or 'wild parties', but examines how the corporation allowed (encouraged?) Weinstein's assaults by essentially just buying off anyone...

Tu 7/21/26

 Tu 7/21/26 750am (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 9am (4-B: Cat Piss). 1020am (4-B: Cat Piss). 1235pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 540pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 830pm (GB: 5/ Cat Piss).  Up 7am: A mix of sun & clouds, breezy with temps to mid 80's. When I came back from the 1st GB of the day, I noticed a prompt to 'restart'. It only took a couple of minutes, but I am tired of the anxiety and why so many requests? Is it something in my system or is it a Windows problem with the 'Drop Windows 10' in October or is it the update itself? Watched 'THE WOMEN IN THE LINE' (Netflix). It's a tale of a 'Mother's Love On Steroids'. One day police raid a middle class Argentinian home and a young man is taken into custody and immediately sent to a federal prison. Not once does mom wonder what he did or whether he was guilty. She foolishly insists that her 'perfect' boy is somehow above the law because she is his mother. The film's primary  focus is on the di...

Mo 7/20/26- Insurance Worksheet

 Mo 7/20/26- Insurance Worksheet 655am (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 740am (6-B: Cat Piss). 905am (6-B: Cat Piss). 1235pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 435pm (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 530pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 835pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss).  Up 6am: Cloudy with a pronounced haze from the wildfires out west and temps to upper 80's.  I noticed that the 'red' light on the wifi unit at the upstairs PC has changed to 'green'. Did we have a power outage or is it that I opened NIGHTHAWK from my phone last night?  Watched 'THE DRAW' (Hoopla). It's more clever than entertaining, and a little too top heavy with ideas. In the near future the EyeLight Corporation has developed an eyepiece that shapes and reorganizes the wearer's reality. Soon the law requires that you must be connected with your EyeLight device 24/7. Odd Theme: The British prime minister is rationalizing a national game show called 'The Draw'. People compete to 'kill' a person who has been chosen as ...

Su 7/19/26

 Su 7/19/26 730am (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 815am (6-B: Cat Piss). 10am (6-B: a mix of Red & Cat). 1210pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 540pm (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 830pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss).  Up 6am: partly cloudy (and lots of haze from the western wildfires) with temps to upper 80's. Weekly Cleaning Watched 'MEMENTO' (Hoopla). 'Sammy Jankis' (character from Leonard's defensive imagination) also had complete short term memory loss, but it was really Leonard who accidently killed his wife with an insulin overdose. The cop ('J.G.') has been using Leonard as a killer. Just tell Lenny that the guy he's after is 'the guy that raped and killed his wife' with the initials 'J.G'; with Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss Joe Pantoliano, Mark Boone Junior. "83" Metascore and I would go to "86".  Basic themes from AI Mode: 1) "Self-Deception: The film challenges the idea that "facts" are objective. Leonard uses his condition a...
