Fr 11/17/2017- Brandenburgs At Five

Up 7am; an extra couple of brews last night because the film was so bad. Added The Walkmen, Alice In Chains, and one disc of a Marshall Crenshaw compilation to Google Play. 

Streamed, DARKNESS RISING; Bad Juju in da house that somehow links to a 1930's father and daughter, but mostly a mishmash. Three young people visit a house that's to be demolished in the morning. One of the woman's mother went crazy here and killed her sister??? Visually well-done, but storyline completely uncompelling and incoherent. Then, an episode of WHITE GOLD; Vincent's tricked into believing that he's been voted, 'TOP BUSINESSMAN OF ESSEX', then his wife leaves him for having sex with his son's teacher. Great soundtrack.

Noon to FitClub, parking lot loaded with gray-head vehicles; 'stretch class for the dinosaurs'.


45" Octane 45" Recumbent Bike upstairs 30" Walk. 3/5.0. 45" Cross. Legs/Chest. 30" Old Style Cross. Whirlpool.

Drove to County Market/Fairhills-
1 six pack bud/ 2 pizzas (eight bucks)

5pm-9pm The Brandenburgs

'Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond';  915pm. A documentary about Jim 
Carey playing Andy Kaufman; how much and who do you believe?  Who's telling the truth... just what Kaufman would have wanted.

Several beers and remaining slices of pizza over the line (1130pm)- very surprised to learn from The Brandenburgs that Thanksgiving is next  Thursday.... but not their fault.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...
