Su 11/4/18
Up 630am (The New Time). Cloudy, chilly- to fifties and rain/ drizzle in the forecast for most of the day.
Watched Netflix disc, 'TREELESS MOUNTAIN'. Two Korean sisters, one about three years old and the other about four, are foisted off by their mother- first to an alcoholic aunt, and then to their country grandparents. The director uses extreme closeups of the children's faces to create an intimate rapport with their plight.
Then watched, 'Scott Walker: 30 Century Man' (Amazon Prime). The story of a mid-sixties 'boy band' crooner who evolved into a baroque and avantgarde poet of doom and gloom. This was on the 'previews' of 'TREELESS MOUNTAIN' and I notice that when you check-out a film on IMDB you can tell whether it's available on Prime.

1215pm- the weekly cleaning, and then the second episode of 'HOMECOMING' (Julia Child/ Bobby Cannavale- Amazon Prime) and re-watched the first one.

2pm to FitClub West. 45" Octane (Hoopla- Dead tape from Chicago Electric Theater/ 1969). 45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Recumbent Bike; upstairs on the track. 45" Cross. Legs; 30" Old Style Cross.

Home to call Elsie's. First few attempts it was busy; I was calling right at six, and this is Janny's Time. Got through and Edna was screaming so Lannie put him right on; done in seven.

Soaked/ Greg Iles/ Listened to a tape that I made from a CD that Tim Rotherham gave to me when I was working in the computer room in 1989. Kinda Smooth Jazz....From Long Ago and Far Away....

Another episode of 'HOMECOMING'...very interesting... and then 2 episodes of  the New Zealand series, 'I AM INNOCENT'- ...forgettable....

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...
