Th 9/26/19

Up 715am; sunny and much cooler- temps to mid 70's.

Watched 'SHOPLIFTERS' (Hoopla) A group of scammers posing as a family take in a five year old abandoned girl. Things fall apart, and they are discovered by the authorities, but 'love not blood' is what it takes to make a family. A truly excellent film and winner of Palme d'Or and numerous other international film awards.

Then watched 'BEWARE MR. BAKER' (YouTube) Burning bridges since the day he was born: Graham Bond Organization, Clapton, Africa , Fela, dogs, and polo horses. His Wikipedia entry says that as of September 2019, "the family of Ginger Baker asked fans to keep him in their thoughts as he was 'critically ill'.

2pm: mowing the backyard. Mowed about 2/3 of the back- the far end was dry and lean, and just a few strips in the front on the fire plug side: A half hour total, including a bit of raking in the back. 255pm on the machines at LA Fitness. 
45" Walk (Watching the TV news about the impeachment). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read 'OPEN HOUSE', listened to GINGER BAKER). 45" Cross (TOP BOY). 30" Walk (TOP BOY, TV News). 30" Cross (TV News).

Home to read downstairs and listen to BUILT TO SPILL.

Then in the tub with more Elizabeth Berg and THE GITS/ ALCOHOL FUNNY CAR/ ART BLAKEY.

Episode #1 'COLD CASE FILES' (Netflix)  12 year old girl raped and murdered on Halloween, 1992 in Oil City, PA. Three guys abducted her and one of them was the man who called in the crime. Then, 'AMERICA'S BOOK OF SECRETS' (Netflix)...forgettable.

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...
