We 11/15/17 Contemporary Book Club; 6pm

Up 530am and skimmed through THE ATOMIC WEIGHT OF LOVE for 30". Rain and drizzle; upper 40's; by afternoon sunny and breezy- 50. Began THE KILLER, 745AM.

Called Dick Van Dyke at 920am to find out my 'window of opportunity'. I found out that a service call lasts for thirty days, so it would be better if I waited until the fridge broke down. Then the tech would know for certain what was wrong, and if I had them come today, he'd just make an educated guess. 

1030am- finished the Brazilian cowboy film, THE KILLER. The plot was a little difficult to follow. A rich Frenchman hires a hit man to kill people who own property that he desires. The hit man's son becomes a killer and tries to find out what happened to his father, and continues to kill, and, kill, and kill.... Obviously owes a big debt to the Spaghetti Westerns of the 70's. 

1045am- Mark Erin Rust: Inside The Mind Of A Serial Killer.

1230pm to FitClub West. 45" Octane (DANCE NAKED/ PERFECTLY GOOD GUITAR). 45" Recumbent Bike (upstairs). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 3.5/0. 30" Old Style Cross. Whirlpool.

Home to read/skim THE ATOMIC WEIGHT OF LOVE. 535PM to meeting. Everyone liked the book, and 'The Church Lady' seemed to back up my idea that Alden wasn't really a villain- just a product of his time, just like Meridian. 

Downstairs computer was in 'Sleep Mode' and when I booted up, something sluggish. Seems to be OK....Hope nothing is catching from the fridge, although things OK on that front as well. 

Watching a Junkie Film from NYC called HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT. Microwaved more cabbage gumbo- stuffed. Read DOG EAT DOG, smartphone.

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...
