The Cheese Stands Alone

 Sa 3/7/26- No Weed 845am {1/2 'Extreme Chill' 'Wedding Cake' 150 mg: 75 mg total}.  Up 730am {I feel better, but there is severe congestion in the lungs}. Cloudy & breezy and temps to about 60.  Watched 'The Zone of Interest' (Kanopy). From IMDB: "The commandant of Auschwitz and his wife strive to build a dream life for their family in a house next to the camp." From VARIETY: "It’s a remarkable film — chilling and profound, meditative and immersive, a movie that holds human darkness up to the light and examines it as if under a microscope. In a sense, it’s a movie that plays off our voyeurism, our curiosity to see the unseeable. Yet it does so with a bracing originality." "92" Metascore with seven ratings of "100". I agree. You never see the actual horror, yet you always know it's 'on the other side of the fence'.  An episode of  'HOMICIDE' (Netflix). Carnegie Deli Murders- Two guys rob a high end ...

I feel significantly better, but still very congested}. Today it will be partly sunny & very windy with temps in the upper 70's.  ***815am: Already soaring, but the flower is so much better.  Watched 'THE COMMUNE' (Netflix). A Danish couple inherit a large ramshackle house and create a communal living space for their friends and family. The original couple split up when hubby's new lady moves in and sparks fly. Woodstock it ain't. "60" Metascore and I would go to "74".  Watched 'SMALL ENGINE REPAIR' (Netflix). It's a Blue Collar tale of 'social revenge'. A man's fourteen year old daughter sent a nude picture to an entitled frat boy and he released it into cyberspace. She takes an overdose of pills and her father convinces ...

Partly cloudy with a chance for showers all day and temps to upper 50's.  Watched a 3 part mini-series 'A FRIEND, A MURDERER' (Netflix). It's about a group of young Danish people who were friends for over fifteen years. They're shocked to learn that one of the guys in the group was a rapist, kidnapper, and murderer. It's kind of a Danish 'DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE'.   Watched 'INSIDE THE EDGE: A PROFESSIONAL BLACKJACK ADVENTURE' {1'12"} (Amazon Prime). A professional gambler from Las Vegas spends a year in an RV traveling across the US and 'card counting' at blackjack in every casino he sees. Thes...

Clouds & drizzle most of the day with intense late morning fog and temps to low 50's.  {There was more fog today that I've seen in decades} Watched 'STREET FLOW 3 (Netflix). There is some dramatic acting but I couldn't follow the plot. Life in a black housing development in the French suburbs. Very much kitchen-sink realism and gritty to a fault. It's a franchise and I put the sequel to the first one in the queue.  Filmed in Bois-L'Abbe in Val-de-Marne which is a department of France to the southeast of Paris. Finished 'EXPOSED: THE CASE OF KELI LANE' (Amazon...

 Tu 3/3/26- Sick 815am {1/2 VIIA 'Day Drift' (green) 100 mg: 50 mg total). 110pm (4 hits- B: Hybrid Popcorn...moderate relief, massive coughing fit). 5pm (GB: 6 rips/ Frozen Lemonade.. went down a little better). Up 7am-8am: Very sick and I didn't get much (any?) sleep; just waiting for the decongestant drugs to kick in. A rainy day with temps in the upper 40's.  Watched 'ACCUSED' (Netflix). A female Indian surgeon working in metropolitan hospital is accused of sexual misconduct. I suppose that because she's a lesbian in a position of power, it makes the premise somewhat different. The bad guy was an insecure man who was envious of her influence and position. Not much of a revelation and barely worth a look.    The cold or flu is settling in and I'm worse than yesterday. Last night was one of the worst I've ever spent. It's pure hell to be so exhausted yet nearly no sleep. More antihistamines and I wish I could get up for some of the flower, but ...

Lungs are very congested and Mucinex is different and doesn't work as well. This is the worst I have felt in ages. The capsules are full of cough syrup?  Watched 'HOTEL MUMBAI' (Netflix). The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a series of 12 coordinated missions lasting almost four days and the siege killed 175 people and injured over 300 others. The siege of the hotel lasted nearly 60 hours. It's a terrifying film and many lead characters are killed off which is unexpected. The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel; 11/26-29/2008. "62" Metascore and I would go to "78".  Watched the mini-series 'THE UNSOLVED MURDER OF BEVERLY LYNN SMITH' (Amazon Prime). Another 'Mr. Big' case that ruins a guy...
