We 1/31/18

We 1/31/18

Up 7am; Mostly cloudy 'n breezy; temps in mid 30's to high 40's, but the wind made it feel chilly.

Wrote up THE QUIET GAME and ordered another novel (TURNING ANGEL) by this author, then watched a Paul Schrader film with Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandan called, THE LIGHT SLEEPER. Dafoe as an elite drug dealer in early 1990's on the mean streets of NYC. During a garbage strike on labor day weekend an old girlfriend resurfaces. He hasn't seen this 'love of his life' in over ten years, she jumps or is pushed out the window of one of his client's high rise apartments, and he murders who he thinks is responsible. Five to ten in the pen, and his boss Sarandan waits for him. TAXI DRIVER is a better film, but they share the same dour and depressive tone and feel.

Trouble with Security Essentials. It just won't update, so I installed Avast. Don't like it- they really give the hard-sell to buy, and the system seems to lag. 

Another MAD DOGS.

115pm to FitClub South. 45" My Fave Cross (Dos Caballeros). 45" Recumbent Bike (4 FINGERS OF DEATH). 45" Cross (THERE'S A RIOT GOIN' ON/ STAND). 30" Recumbent Bike (read). 45" Cross in the TV area. 10" Steam Room (ran OK). Whirlpool, and shaved at the sinks.

Watching the first of a new Netflix series, THE NAKED TRUTH- 'Death By Fentanyl'. About what you'd expect, and the 'life saving' emergency drug that combats the overdose is made by the same company that caused the drug overdose.... Hey, and it's getting so, so ,so expensive! Then COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE (Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld). The first of a three part series on Amazon about Jimi Hendrix....about what you would expect.

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...

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

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...
