Su 6/7/26

 Su 6/7/26 645am {1/2 VIIA 'Day Drift' orange 100 mg: 50 mg total}. 645am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 735am (GB: 4/ Hybrid Popcorn). 905am 6-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 1230pm (GB: 6/Durban Poison). 535pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 835pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 530am: Cloudy & humid with temps to upper 80's. Weekly Cleaning Watched 'STATE OF FEAR' (Netflix). I can't believe that I randomly selected this film. It is a spin off of the series that I'm watching, 'IN THE MUD' (Netflix). Based on a true incident: In May 2006 the PCC completely shut down the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil for several days. Over the course of the rebellion more than 300 attacks across the metropolitan area; banks, metro stations, police infrastructure. Shopping malls, office towers, schools, all shut down. 500 people were killed. The series is set in Argentina, but the movie is set in Sao Paulo, Brazil. They were 'expanding the brand' of the smash hit Argentinian series. FUN FA...

Sa 6/6/26- First Time AC

 Sa 6/6/26- First Time AC 735am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 825am (4-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 1015am (4-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 1225pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 230pm [3 hits one hitter]. 250pm (4-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 535pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 830pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 630am {well rested}. Cloudy & breezy with temps to upper 80's.  745am: The thermostat already read '81' ('75' outside) and it's supposed to be real clammy & moist this afternoon so I turned on the AC for the first time this season.  Watched 'THE MARKED WOMAN' (Netflix). A superior Police Procedural. A woman is found bound and tortured in a cargo container at the port of Barcelona. The case is given to a female detective who is just back from disability. Her brother committed suicide and she lost it. The tortured woman can't remember anything and we learn that she has the secret code to the workings of an international human trafficking gang. It felt like it was taken from a well w...

It's a very complicated tale of John le Carre level 'spy craft' in the city of Berlin involving various secret agencies including South Korea, North Korea, the CIA, MOSSAD, and a criminal Arab gang (?). A female translator for the North Koreans is compelled to sleep with a German diplomat to seal a deal favorable to the North Koreans. This is the final outrage and she decides to defect to the west, but her husband (who is a North Korean spy) is on the fence. I'm not even sure if this is what happened because the film is much more confusing than needed, but the gunplay and fisticuffs were worth a look. Quirky Scene:...

Th 6/4/26

 Th 6/4/26 620am (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 705am (4-B: Durban Poison). 850am (5-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 1225pm (GB: 6/Durban Poison). 540pm (GB: 5/Hybrid Popcorn). 825pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 530am: Partly cloudy & breezy with temps to mid 80's.  Watched 'THE ART OF WAR: BETRAYAL' (Netflix). A retired super-spy learns that his childhood martial arts teacher has been murdered and he reenters the spy craft world to find the killer. An assassination plot is uncovered and 'the twist' is that the teacher's sultry daughter hooks up with the spy and seems to have legitimate feelings for him. Alas, she's only spying on him for a corrupt United States senator. The fight scenes were a mix of Shotokan Karate, Hapkido, Taekwondo and barely believable; with Wesley Snipes and in AI Mode I learned that the actor, Wesley Snipes holds a 5th-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate and a black belt in Taekwondo.  Watched 'A FATHER'S MIRACLE' (Netflix). A poor ...

We 6/3/26

 We 6/3/26 650am (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 730am (4-B: Durban Poison). 930am (4-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 1220pm [1/2 'Extreme Chill' 150 mg: 75 mg total]. 1230pm (5-B: Durban Poison). 255pm (5-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 535pm (6-B:  Durban Poison). 830pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 540am: A mix of sun & clouds with temps to mid 80's. ***The 1/2 'Extreme Chill' this afternoon was a nice treat. However, it definitely hits better on an empty stomach, but an aerobic workout energizes the effect. I'm a 'Wake & Bake'  kinda guy.     Began a Thai 'Blood/Guts/Action/Adventure', but dropped it within minutes. 'One Thumb Down' and on to something a bit more deep. Watched 'MASS' (Netflix).  The parents of a school shooter meet with the parents of one of the boys that he shot and killed. For the first thirty minutes of the movie you have no idea what is taking place. A room in a church is being prepared for a meeting of some kind and then it beco...

Tu 6/2/26

 Tu 6/2/26 645am (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 730am (5-B:  Hybrid Popcorn). 930am (5-B:  Hybrid Popcorn). 110pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 250pm (5-B:  Hybrid Popcorn). 430pm (GB: 6/  Hybrid Popcorn).  535pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 825pm (GB: 6/ Hybrid Popcorn).  ***For the past couple of days I've been smoking Durban Poison & Hybrid Popcorn and NOT Durban Poison & Green Crack.  My apologies.  Up 540am: Bright & breezy with temps to low 80's. Watched 'El Infierno' (Tubi). I couldn't get the subtitles to display, too bad.  Watched 'INTIMATE AFFAIRS' (Amazon Prime). Set during the 20's a sex researcher and a few of his pseudo-intellectual buddies (and two sexy female stenographers) have rambling conversations that attempt to probe the depths of human sexuality. No real insights and their bland observations and options bordered on the tedious and silly. Lots of star power for such a lackluster film; with Dermot Mulroney, Julie Delpy, Ro...

Used the grass whip on the dandelions in front and the brick area in the back. Watched 'JE M'APPELLE AGNETA' (Netflix). This is a little too strange, so it's on to something else, but I will finish the final hour down the line.  Watched 'A QUIET PLACE'- Part II' (Netflix). Small town America vs. an alien invasion. Implausible & corny. The monsters were like huge & sinewy praying mantises with big teeth, although they could be immobilized & killed by the squealing of radios followed by a shotgun blast to the head; with Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Scoot McNairy, John Krasinski (also wrote & directed- I didn't...
