Tu 9/17/19

Up 7am; sunny and temps to mid 80's.

Watched 'WOMAN WALKS AHEAD' (Amazon Prime) Jessica Chastain plays Catherine Weldon, an artist and 'free spirit' from NYC who travels to North Dakota to paint a portrait of Sitting Bull. She befriends the chief in spite of the antagonism of the town, and becomes an advocate of Indian rights. The film is really the prelude to the massacre at Wounded Knee. It's beautifully shot and has fine performances by many excellent Native American actors.

I watched about an hour of 'JERRY POWELL & THE DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR' (Amazon Prime) Another very lo-fi, shoestring Independent about a 'paint huffer' living in poverty in New Jersey. I will let this one go, because  I was anxious to settle the credit card stuff.

I called Old Navy and got them to send me a duplicate card, and I switched the Netflix account to the Heartland Visa card. And I recorded all customer service numbers to my phone.

Then I watched more of the YouTube interviews with Eric Clapton till 145pm. Finished 'CADILLAC JUKEBOX and read a little bit of the September selection for the book club,then biked to LA Fitness;230pm.

45" Walk ('DARK'- Netflix; this was the first episode of Season 2, and I couldn't get into it. It's about a government installation that has a 'time hole'. People from the past and future....and far too complicated for me to care). 45" Recumbent Bike (Watched TV for the rest of the workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

Home to read downstairs for about 20" and downloaded some stuff to watch tomorrow.

Then in the tub with the Indian novel and listened to ROBERT CRAY/ ANCIENT ROD STEWART.

Episode 3 of 'UNBELIEVABLE' (Netflix), then episode 3 of , 'EASY'; Watch episode 4 next!!!

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...
