Th 9/12/19

Up 740am; more hot and hazy- temps to 90.

Watched 'ALL MISTAKES BURIED' (Amazon Prime) The downward spiral of a man who uses crack/ meth to make him forget the death of his wife. For nearly the whole film you believe he is pleading with family members to let him reunite with his wife on their anniversary, but she's already dead; shot in Alexandria, LA.

Then, 'THEY CAME FOR ME' (50" documentary on Amazon Prime) The film makes the case that intolerance in Germany is on the rise, however this was produced in 1994 so it's pretty dated.

Interesting Facts: To be a German demands a blood tie to the country, this is not the case in America, the UK, or most other western nations. This makes it impossible for an immigrant to ever attain full status as a citizen. And, dominant German churches receive massive tax breaks and act as powerful and lucrative lobbying groups in the nation. This power is even more formidable than the power of churches in America. I think that tax breaks for churches should be eliminated.

Then, 'DARK/WEB' The first in a series on Amazon Prime. A Rideshare driver's app forces him to become a kind of 'late night vigilante'. The series is eight, 25" short stories. Worth a look, and will watch them all.

1245pm: checked the oil on the mower; OK, and cut the grass. Took just about an hour with the raking, but not much to rake.

A guy from Ameren was at Boozer's old house and he was messing with their gas meter. I had finished mowing and he came over to me and said that they were installing add-ons to the meter so that they could now be read from the central office. I said that would mean a loss of jobs, and he said 'that's technology'.

Read downstairs and listened to 'MIRROR BALL- Neil Young, and finished '13 STEPS'.

3pm on bike to LA Fitness. I learned that there was a 2 part TV movie of '13 STEPS' and I found it one YouTube, but the reception at LA Fitness wasn't consistent enough. I will watch it tomorrow at Planet Fitness.
45" Walk (THE SPY). 45" Recumbent Bike (Began 'CADILLAC JUKEBOX'- James Lee Burke; I found this on the shelves/ MASSIVE ATTACK). 45" Cross (THE SPY). 30" Walk (GLOW). 30" Cross (TV).

Home to soak and read more Dave Robicheaux and listened to (LESLIE WEST/ SPRINGSTEEN/ BLACK CROWES).

The next two episodes of 'DARK/ WEB' (Amazon Prime).  A young girl becomes 'famous' on Instagram.  Who and where is Molly Solis?

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...
