We 9/18/19

We 9/18/19

Up 715am; plenty of sun with temps to the mid to upper 80's, but down to the low 60's tonight.

Wrote up 'CADILLAC JUKEBOX' James Lee Burke for the blog.

Watched 'LEAN ON PETE' (Amazon Prime) The chronicle of the economic and social anxiety of a young contemporary teenager in the greater Northwest of America. Raised by a shiftless, yet charming father Charlie gets a job with Del, a questionable horse owner. Charlie works the horses and becomes very attached to 'Lean On Pete', one of Del's over-the-hill quarter horses. Charlie's life takes a turn for the worse when his father is murdered and Charlie steals Del's truck and trailer (with 'Lean On Pete' on board), and attempts to get to Laramie, Wyoming to find his missing aunt. Just a wonderfully told story that never dips into sentimentality, yet is very moving; with Charlie Plummer, Steve Buscemi, Chloe Sevigny, and Steve Zahn.

Then, 'SACRED HEARTS' (Amazon Prime) A 1985 British film about a small Catholic convent/ girls school in rural England at the beginning of WWII. "Do not think, just have faith"; "The Jesuits do the thinking for us"; with Katrin Cartlidge, this was her first film.

130: Biked to FitClub West. 45" Octane (Listened to a YouTube interview with Keith Richards, then TV for the rest of the workout). 45" Walk. 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Old Style Cross.

Home to listen to LIVE GEORGE CLINTON ALLSTARS for just over an hour and read more of  'A FAR FIELD'.

Then in the tub with more Indian/ Kashmir intrigue and THE SILOS/ LIVE SKEETER JENNINGS.

The third episode of  'UNBELIEVABLE' (Netflix) and then 'CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM' (Amazon Prime)- Larry opens his restaurant and the chef has tourettes syndrome.

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...
