Tu 7/2/19

Up 645am; Another scorcher- heat index to three digits and plenty of sun.

Watched 'EMMA' (Xfinity)  A little difficulty loading the film at first. An adaptation of a Jane Austen novel; Emma Woodhouse is a self-appointed 'matchmaker' and causes romantic havoc, yet all's well that ends well; great set designs/ Gwyneth Paltrow/ Toni Collette.

Then, 'THE MOGULS' (Amazon Prime) Renamed 'THE AMATEURS' Jeff Bridges heads an amazing cast in a colossal dud of a film. A group of losers collaborate to make a porn film; with Ted Danson/ Valerie Perrine/ Judy Greer/ Jeanne Tripplehorn/ John Hawkes/ Joe Pantoliano/ Tim Blake Nelson. Considering the wealth of star power, it's positively stunning just how bad it was. Shot in Piru and Arcadia, California.

1pm: PC is 'Off', AC set at 81, and downstairs to read. Stayed downstairs just a few minutes, and decided to bike to FitClub West.
45" Octane (OFF CAMERA- finished Sienna Miller and most of David Tennant). 45" Walk (Reality TV All Workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Old Style Cross.

Home to read downstairs and listen to tapes; Guitars of Africa/ First Funkadelic.

In the tub with Thom Yorke and finished 'THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST', and began 'THE 25TH HOUR'.

'BIG KILL' (Netflix) An 'old school' cowboy movie with terrible costumes and pathetic sets; Lou Diamond Philips/ Danny Trejo/ Jason Patrick. A tender-foot accountant from back East teams up with two quasi-criminal cowboys to locate his brother in Big Kill, Arizona...("Never heard of it"...); lame.

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...
