Fr 7/3/26

 Fr 7/3/26 740am (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 1010am (5-B: Diablo Sativa). 1235pm (GB: 6/ Cat Piss). 230pm (4-B: Diablo Sativa). 415pm (GB: 6/ Diablo Sativa). 535pm (GB: 5/ Cat Piss). 835pm (GB: 5/ Diablo Sativa).  Up 630am: Partly cloudy with temps to low 90's & 'Extreme Heat Warnings' are in place until Saturday evening. Added 'ADULTHOOD RITES' by Octavia Butler and 'THE MOSQUITO COAST' by Paul Theroux to 'Books Read Recently'. Watched 'BAD SEEDS' (Netflix). The film features an odd relationship between two crooks, a man in his 30's and an elderly lady who is his 'adoptive mother and partner-in-crime'. They minister to a group of wayward teens and attempt to show them how to live in a multicultural world. Unfortunately, the film is almost a testament to the fact that most comedies do not appeal to an international audience. This one had its moments, but the story is too farfetched to appeal to a US audience. In a grocery store parking...

The 'Excessive Heat Warning' has been extended through Friday. {The AI Mode button is back on Chrome. PROFITS ASSURED: When they get you hooked on the 'free' service, then they make you pay. It's coming...} When I got up the painter's car was in the driveway of the abandoned house; 6am. He must be doing some early morning interior work.  Watched 'ON YOUR LAP' (Netflix). The film features some of the most desperately indigent characters that I've ever seen on film. Late one night a very pregnant (and single) woman finds herself on the doorstep of a very meager coffee shop. The old woman who owns the place offers a job and and a place to stay. Their lives become entwined and strong familial bonds a...

It was present on the downstairs PC and Thursday morning it came back to the PC upstairs}***  Up 6am: Brutally hot & humid with temps to 93 and an 'Excessive Heat Warning' that ends tomorrow at midnight.   Watched 'ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER' (Amazon Prime). I don't even remember putting this one in the queue. It's a dark satire about leftist revolutionaries on the run from the authorities in contemporary California.  {The Christmas Adventurers Club..."All Hail Saint Nick"}. It's over three hours so I shut it down with an hour and eight minutes to go. "95" Metascore and all entries were in the hundreds or nineties and a sin...

Tuesdays are 'Restart' Days.  Up 6am: Hot & nasty; The 'Excessive Heat Warning' continues with temps to mid 90's and 'discomfort index' over the moon.  Watched 'THE 24th' (Netflix).  In August of 1917 members of the Black 3rd battalion of the 24th army infantry attacked the city of Houston, Texas. Nineteen whites were killed. Racial tensions had been brewing and the soldiers were tricked into believing that they were under fire from a white mob. The tone is a bit heavy handed, but it's an important incident in US history.  The largest court-martial in U.S. military history; 118 Black soldiers on trial for mutiny and murder. 11...

Watched 'BEAST' (Kanopy). In an island community a killer is on the loose and a young woman becomes enchanted by a local 'bad boy'.  He becomes a suspect, but she has far more of a killer instinct than he does. It keeps you guessing until the very end. Filmed on the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands & Surrey, England; with Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, Geraldine James. Won 1 BAFTA Award; 8 wins & 25 nominations. "74" Metascore and I would boost that to "85".   Began 'THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT' (Netflix). I shut it down 21 minutes into the first episode....

Su 6/28/26- Mowed Lawn

 Su 6/28/26- Mowed Lawn 1010am (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 1050am (4-B: Diablo Sativa). 145pm (GB: 5/Red Congolese). 535pm (GB: 6/ Diablo Sativa). 840pm (GB: 5/ Diablo Sativa).  Up 630am: Hot & extremely humid with cloudy skies and temps to 90. "Excessive Heat Warnings" in effect through the end of the week. Today's 'Feels Like' will be 105! Weekly Cleaning; with a cup of instant I finished 'THE MOSQUITO COAST' and a short time later, attacked the lawn {820am- 910am}. I almost had to stop in the backyard because I was really overheated. Gray- black skies were percolating in the southwest, but I made it through without having to stop for a downpour. I thought I would only be able to hit the upper half of the back lawn, but I struggled and finished the whole damn thing. Into the shower (maybe for the first time?) and had trouble figuring out how to work the precious thing.     Watched 'THE POLICEMAN'S LINEAGE' (Kanopy). A young cop is assigned to...

I wanted to mow the lawn today, but it might not happen.  A prompt to restart right off the bat. It only took a few moments, but why is there not a hue and cry?  Watched 'THE CIRCLE' (Kanopy). It's a profile of the harshness & unfairness of life under Sharia Law for women who are not connected to family or husbands. Patrols of armed men patrol the streets of Tehran, Iran and randomly stop and question women who are out unaccompanied. The women must keep covered (head to foot and preferably in black) and almost every purchase (for goods or services) requires a male to sign for them. One of the women buys a shirt and it costs $5,200 Iranian tomans and that is approximately $0.52 usd...fifty-two cents! 12 wins & 7 nominations. "85" Metascore and that...
