Fr 8/23/19

Up 7am; restless night- bad legs cramps kept waking me up. Sunny and pleasant with temps only to the upper 70's.

Watched Netflix disc, 'IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK'. A beautiful love story about a man who is falsely accused of rape, sent to prison, and his wife has their baby. The scene in which she tells her parents and in-laws that she's pregnant is probably one of the rawest acting I've ever seen. I can't believe that this is the first film adaptation of James Baldwin's books.

After the bonus features, I watched 'I STILL SEE YOU' (Amazon Prime).

1230pm: The film's not too bad, but I want to do a little reading (nap?) and then bike to Wabash PO/ Planet Fitness; 41" of the film left to see.

Messed around with the MedLife website about my dental claim. What they paid and what they want are two different things. I wanted to send it in today, but will have to wait.

So late that I drove to Wabash PO/ Planet Fitness, and on the machines about 4pm. 45" Walk (DIAGNOSIS). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read 'A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW; over a hundred pages today! Listened to BLACKBERRY SMOKE). 45" Cross (DIAGNOSIS). 30" Walk (DIAGNOSIS). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Bull Rider, Singer/Song Writer).

Drove to gas station a Chatham/ Monroe for a fill up. Into Dollar Store for a tube of toothpaste, and $70 at County Market.

Home to soak and more about Count Rostov and NIGHT MOVES- Bob Seger. That's a great 'Classic' album that I had completely overlooked.

'COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE' (Netflix); Matthew Broderick/ Jamie Foxx, and then a 'CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM'.

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...
