Tu 4/24/18

Up 715am; Misty, some fog, to upper sixties and low 70's later.

'KILL THE IRISHMAN' (Netflix) Based on a true story of a mid 70's Cleveland labor leader/ mob figure, Danny Green; interesting cast, but predictable. It seems like every actor who has ever played a mobster is in this film including Christopher Walken and Vincent D'Onofrio- Val Kilmer plays a sympathetic cop and narrator.

"Cleanup"- the rest of DEADLY CODE; An international cast (everybody does corny 'Rooo-skeee' accents) portray the inter-workings of Siberian gangs- Two friends become enemies. And, the last half of 'ABACUS'- of all the banks that failed due to the housing market collapse of 08 and 09, the government decides to go after this one? Out of 3,000 loans only 9 failed. Nice work! Then the last episode of Season #1, 'THE CHI'- Gotta do another CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM- Larry's two wheelchair dates and fight with Rosie O'Donnell.

315pm to LA FITNESS....running late. On the machines 330pm. 45" Walk. 3.6/0 (HOMELAND). 45" Recumbent Bike (read THE GUARDIAN/ listened to 'THE OOZ'). 45" Cross (HOMELAND). 30" Recumbent Bike (read/ King Kruel). 30" Cross (a Netflix series from Australia about a new mother and her horror of motherhood). The whirlpool was down; as I was leaving, I learned that  it will be out of service until at least Friday, and the sauna was luke warm, so I split. Home to soak, listen to THE BLUES EXPLOSION and read more of THE GUARDIAN. Amazon Prime- 'A WAREHOUSE ON TCHOUPITOULAS' for tonight. No internet problems on the PC....yet....

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...
