Mo 6/11/18

Up 6am; Scattered showers began late yesterday afternoon, but heavy thunderstorms late night and early morning; almost 2", flash flood warnings (got one on the phone about 2am- A Freak-Out!). Cloudy all day with lots of humidity and chance of more rain- to upper 80's.

'PEACOCK' (Amazon Prime) A most unusual film that Cillian Murphy does mostly in drag. Set in early sixties Peacock, Nebraska where a young man suffers from split identities. He is both his dead mother and her son, and a train derailment radically upsets his well ordered and rigid existence. When townspeople rescue him/her after the derailment, he's in drag and they assume that 'he' is his wife. And, Ellen Page as a struggling waif who is the mother of little boy; very strange, but compelling film.

Some kind of virus detected when I tried to read a review of 'Peacock'. Scary....I'm pretty sure that it's just a scam, but it certainly was convincing in that they claimed that they would immediately begin collecting my banking information. 

I wrote the Chat Wrap and will do another scan with Malwarebytes- I just did one this morning.

11am- reading more of 'THE SILENT GIRLS', and biked to FitClub around 130pm. Threatening, but it never rained, and only felt like low 80's.

While working out I got a rather long email from Janny congratulating me on not attending the wake/party for Lachel later this summer. I still don't want to attend, but I don't know if I fully trust her real motivation. Alcoholic junkies vs. Evangelical Republicans....'Clowns on the left of me, jokers to the right.' 45" Octane (for some reason, I couldn't get an Internet connection, but phone said I was connected. Used the Xfinity Internet to listen to 'The Black Keys'; later I got FitClub WiFi...Why/ Not?) 45" Recumbent Bike (read 'The Silent Girls' and listened to ('Blues/Jazz from Montreux'). 45" Cross (THE WIRE). 30" Walk. 3.5/0 (THE WIRE). 30" Bike (PATRICK MELROSE). 30" Old Style Cross (end of 'Melrose' and the end of the interview with Diane Krueger). No Weights- just forgot.
Home to soak with three beers/ read/ and old Dylan.

A little more than an hour of Netflix disc, 'HOCKNEY' for tonight. A sixties gay artist that maybe Andy Warhol 'borrowed' his act and look?

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...
