Su 9/29/19

More fierce storms rolled through at 3am. Up 730am with more rain predicted for this morning, then partly cloudy with temps to the mid to upper 80's.

Wrote up 'OPEN HOUSE' by Elizabeth Berg for the blog.

Watched 'IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON' (Netflix) It's dicey to make a movie about time travel and not have it unravel. But, this movie is an exception. It's not the best, but at least a 'B Plus'. Beginning in 1988 a black woman is killing random people in Philadelphia with a deadly virus. A police detective is obsessed with the case and learns that the killer is actually from the future and is his grand-daughter. She's trying to stop a worldwide apocalypse by preventing key individuals from their dark destinies.

Then I watched, 'CLIVE DAVIS: THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES' (Netflix) I watched the first twenty minutes of this a couple of nights ago and I finished the full two hours. The saga of a true music mogul, and I really got a kick out of the fact that one of his 'finds' that didn't make it was, 'ALPHA BAND'. Certainly one of the most overlooked bands of all time.

230pm: PC is off and I'll read for a while and then bike to LA Fitness for the workout. 

330pm on the machines at LA Fitness. 45" Walk (TOP BOY). 45" Recumbent Bike (TOP BOY; TV news). 45" Cross (TOP BOY). 30" Walk. (TOP BOY). 30" Cross (Finished Season 2 of TOP BOY. I really liked it. More of the family relationships of drug gangs in
London). Hope there is a Season 3.

Just as I was getting ready to leave LA Fitness the sky exploded with a heaby rain. Nothing forecast at Google Weather, but I just waited a couple of miutes and I got home without any rain. I'll bet we got over two inches over the weekend.

Home to do the Weekly Cleaning and then in the tub with more 30's Realism and THE LIBERTINES/ THIRD EYE BLIND.

Watched episode 3 of 'COLD CASE FILES' (Netflix) A fourteen year old girl is knifed to death on her way home from school in  Pleasanton CA. It was one of her sixteen year old classmates.

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...
