Su 6/17/18

Too Much Monkey Business last night. Out of bed 720am, and it's already too hot, too humid... too everything. Temp 80 but 'real feel' is 90.  A chance of rain in the forecast Tuesday through Saturday, and no more 90's.

Wrote up 'A LONG WAY DOWN'- Nick Hornby, and listened to EDM while writing. EDM is the essence of Soulless Music. It's designed to shake your butt, but leave your mind completely untouched. I can now see why the Kardashians love this stuff, and why it's played at all the clubs and parties that they attend. 

I began the Netflix disc, 'LOCKED-IN SYNDROME'. I couldn't take it and decided to move on down the line. A French documentary about Jean-Dominique Bauby, a French magazine editor who suffered a massive stroke at forty-three that left him paralyzed and speechless. He was only able to communicate by twitching his left eye lid. 

Watched Netflix, 'AMERICAN HEIST'. A fairly decent bank robbery film set in New Orleans. Adrien Brody exits prison after ten years and draws his brother back into his life of crime. The last section of the film about the actual bank robbery was only just a tad better than the usual; a film by Russian director, sarik Andreasyan.

1130am- the weekly cleaning, then downstairs to read. Far to Hot Already! 
Watered the flowers and on the machines at FitClub at 2pm. Took the Accord because I hit County Market/ Fairhills after the workout ($75).
45" Octane. 45" Walk. Gym Guy told me that it's $99 initiation fee and $24 and $34 per month (he didn't ask what the different monthly plans were about). 45" Bike. 45" Cross. 30" Walk; watched the last 'PATRICK MELROSE' and the last episode of 'THE WIRE' Season 2.

Home to put away the groceries and soaked to live Mission Of Burma (3 beers).
The next episode of 'THE STAIRS' (Netflix). 

At 1130pm I remembered that I'd completely forgotten to call Elsie's House. The only time that I've forgotten the call and it happens on Father's Day...Freudian Slip anyone?

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...
