Fr 7/12/19

Up 720am; sunny and temps to 90.

Watched, 'CITIES OF THE LAST THINGS' (Netflix)
"In the near future, Lao Zhang (Jack Kao) stalks and murders three people, including an elderly, hospitalized man and his ex-wife, before killing himself. The question at the heart of Ho Di Wing’s Cities of Last Things is what could have driven him to commit these crimes".
The film is divided into three sections; The Future, The Past, and The Long Past. In reverse order the story presents the life of this tormented policeman, and then the justification that led to his violent and bizarre behavior; really well-done.

Then, 'EMELIE' (Netflix) Parents hire an unknown babysitter who turns out to be psychotic and has ulterior motives. Begins with a kidnapping of the 'real' babysitter, and reminded me (kind of?) like 'IT FOLLOWS'; filmed in Buffalo, NY.

Then watched a 40" YouTube video called, 'DETROIT RAWKS' featuring the music of- THE WHITE STRIPES/ THE DIRTBOMBS/ THE DEMOLITION DOLL RODS/ THE PAYBACKS.

230pm: Bike to the 'Y'. Parkview is all repaved; looks good. They did it this morning and early afternoon.

45" Walk. (Reality TV All Workout). 45" Recumbent Bike. 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

Home to soak and listen to THE GORIES/ 'JIMMY PAGE- Needs No Introduction'; some stuff he did in 1967 around his tenure with The Yardbirds. Very nice blues! And read more of 'EYE IN THE SKY'- also very nice stuff.

The next 'CONFESSION TAPES' (Netflix)   Two cousins in Murdock, Nebraska are framed by the cops for a double homicide. It was really two kids in a stolen pickup from Wisconsin driving south.

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...
