Su 6/24/18

Up 615am; Why so early? Reading 'THE PURPLE BOOK', and didn't sleep till 1230am. Sunny and 80's.

Watched Amazon Prime film, 'SPECTOR'. Al Pacino/ Helen Mirren (written and directed, David Mamet). The relationship between Phil Spector and his female defense lawyer in preparation for his murder trial. Did he shoot her, or did she blow her brains out in front of him? Another case that hinges on 'splatter evidence'- is there any other kind?

Then, finished the last hour of the doc on Lydia Loveless. Punk Country artist, and what a nice fit for Bloodshot Records...almost wrote 'Bloodshit Records'.

And Then....the first episode of season #2, 'GOLIATH'. Looks like another fantastic season.

Spent some time updating Microsoft Essentials- Got it, but why is this such a hassle, A little after noon mowing the lawn- back and front/ raked/ somewhat trimmed. Then did the weekly cleaning.
On the machines at LA Fitness by 230pm. 45" Walk. (the last episode of 'LUCK'- Why'd they have to kill those horses? This was a 'Giant' of a series). 45" Recumbent Bike (listened to the EP that I downloaded to Hoopla of Lydia Loveless/ more of THE PURPLE BOOK). 45" Cross (HOMELAND). 30" Bike (HOMELAND). 5" Walk/ 25" Cross (DEAR WHITE PEOPLE); just tired...up to early....too much mowing...etc.

When I got home the woman across the street was just beginning a walk, and I asked if she was satisfied with their landscaping outfit. She said they were, and I should really give them a call. I Will!

Home to 4 beers in the tub and BRIAN ENO-'Net Nerve' on the CD player. One Hour of Relaxation.
Watched an Amazon Prime documentary of TAD, and had a few more beers and went through the remaining boxes.
It's positively shocking how little that I own- I'm just shy of 70, and 'where's the stuff'? But, traveling light is absolutely the way to go.

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...
