Th 3/29/18

Up 620am; Fog, clouds, light rain throughout the day- low 50's.

Netflix disc, 'JACKIE';(720am). Natalie Portman becomes the character of Jackie Kennedy. However, you wonder if it's true, but it certainly might be true. Youtube video of the 'THE WHITE HOUSE TOUR OF 62' is almost identical of what's in the movie. Great film!

Then, SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL; Xfinity; (10am) Jean Luc Godard; Watched about 30" of this; more of less a footnote of musical history. Probably a fairly accurate presentation of how a song is constructed. 

Two CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM- Korean bookie and dog meat/ Larry goes to heaven- Dustin Hoffman is one of his guardian angels.

Paid the Xfinity bill for $60.27, and it looks like I successfully set up the auto-pay tied to the Ameriprise account. 

Reading 1230pm. Plan to finish THE BORDERLINERS, then hit Planet Fitness and the Wabash PO.   
Spend a laborious and turgid hour with the book, and then I wrote some notes about how much I disliked/ missed from it. When will I be able to shut down a book that I don't like even though it is critically acclaimed?
On the machines at Planet Fitness- 230pm. 45" Walk. to 3.6 eventually/ 0. 45" Recumbent Bike (PARIS TROUT). 45" Cross. 45" Recumbent Bike (read/ Judge Judy). 30" Cross. Legs/ Chest/ Back.
Home to soak and read more Pete Dexter and listen to Dizzy Gillespie.
Got an email from The Brandenburgs inviting me to Friday Easter.....thinking a Big 'No'- what's the excuse?

 Up loaded POPTOPIA to Google Play- compilation of Power Pop from the 90's, and I typed out a quick rejection for tomorrow's Easter festivities. No Can Do; it's clearly 'A Brandenburg Affair'.

Will begin THE FIFTH ESTATE (2 hrs. 10"), Netflix (Did half; one hour).

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...

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...
