We 9/4/19

Up 740am; sunny with temps to high 70's- beautiful!!

Watched 'A SIMPLE FAVOR' (Amazon Prime) A perfect role for Ana Kendrick. She's a super-suburban-single mom in Connecticut who becomes friends with a high profile psychopath who is the mother of her son's best friend. She uncovers a wicked scheme of multiple murders and a four million dollar life insurance scam; A very fine black comedy.

1025am the computer shut down and asked for an update restart. I did and it only took a few minutes.

Watched 'MR. ROOSEVELT' (Amazon Prime) Another fine Independent film. A struggling LA comedienne goes back to her hometown of Austin, TX. where her pet cat, Mr. Roosevelt, is dying. She stays at the house that she lived in with her ex-boyfriend, and now he has a new girlfriend. Noel Wells wrote/ starred/ and directed the film. She's from Saturday Night Live and The Upright Citizens Brigade.

230pm: Biked to the 'Y' and I called Walgreens on Koke about getting a flu shot but decided it would run too late. I've still got a couple of weeks to get it before the flu season begins.

45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 15" Bike. 30" Recumbent Bike. (Too many people on the recumbents, but not many people in the workout area). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

Home to soak and almost finish the James Lee Burke novel and listened to THE CRANBERRIES/ THE DESCENDENTS.

'DOWN IN THE SHADOWLAND' Tom Dicillo (Amazon Prime). Only did about ten minutes of this...not bad, just documentary style of people on NYC subways.

Then switched to 'THEN THE SUN CAME OUT'; a documentary about the making of an album by stellar musicians in New Zealand, 2009; the guys from CROWDED HOUSE, Neil and Tim Finn, hosted it with Jeff Tweedy and some of WILCO, SOUL COUGHING, and several others. Well worth a look .

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...
