We 9/11/19

We 9/11/19

Up 630am; more hot and humid weather. A very slight chance of rain this afternoon, and there was 'no chance' yesterday afternoon and it rained.

The yard waste bags have been picked up. When did that happen? Lucky I got one bag removed because bags have sat on the street for weeks and mine wasn't out there for even eight hours.

Watched 'HARD EIGHT' (Amazon Prime) Paul Thomas Anderson's first film. Philip Baker Hall is an ex-mobster who becomes a father figure to a broke young man (John C. Reilly) trying to get $6,000 for his mother's funeral. And he also befriends a naive cocktail waitress/hooker (Gwyneth Paltrow). A streetwise head of security (Samuel L. Jackson at his most malignant and hostile persona) breaks up the romantic, fatherly vibes. And Philip Seymour Hoffman has a small, yet dynamic role as a loud and boorish craps player. A Film Classic!

I called Dr. Ellison's office to update my record concerning my flu shot. An hour later one of the nurses called back to find out where I got the shot.

Then watched 'NEVER GROW OLD' (Amazon Prime) A dark and gritty Western morality tale. Emile Hirsch plays an Irish undertaker in a frontier town with a wife and two children. The preacher has outlawed alcohol and prostitution until three vicious criminals buy the old saloon and restart the vice. John Cusack plays the menacing leader of the gang. Shot in Ireland and the set details and dark, rainy backdrops are brutally realistic.

1240pm: PC 'Off' and reading '13 STEPS DOWN' and listening to AEROSMITH in the living room.

315pm: Biked to Planet Fitness. 45" Walk (Episode One- THE SPY (Netflix)). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read '13 STEPS DOWN/ THE LONG RYDERS). 45" Cross (Streamed 'Bill Burr Live- London). 30" Walk (THE SPY). 30" Cross (THE SPY).

Home to soak and read more Rendell and listen to ABRACADABRA- Steve Miller Band/ SLEATER-KINNEY.

'3801 LANCASTER: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY' (Amazon Prime) An abortion clinic  run amok.... Philadelphia oversee hair salons more closely than abortion clinics.
Then,  'CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM'. Larry loses the jacket that he needs for a scene at a GoodWill type place.

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...
