Su 10/27/19

Up 645am: Partly sunny with temps to low 60's.

Wrote up 'CAMINO ISLAND' by John Grisham for the blog.

Watched Netflix disc, 'PLEASE GIVE'.  A great ensemble film about a family that lives in Manhattan. They own an upper-end used furniture store and their apartment is next door to a ninety-one year old woman. And, the two grand-daughters take care of the old woman and befriend the family; with Rebecca Hall, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, and Catherine Keener.

Then, 'HOT SUMMER NIGHTS' (Amazon Prime) Overall, an engaging film, but maybe a bit too ambitious and covers too much ground. Set on Cape Cod in the late eighties on the eve of a massive hurricane, it comes off as a frenetic clash of 'coming of age', 'teen drug dealing', and 'first love'. However, some good performances by young actors; with Timothee Chalamet, Maika Monroe, Alex Roe.

1245pm: Doing the weekly cleaning, then to FitClub West for the workout and drop the disc in the box.
On the machines at FitClub 145pm: 45" Octane (WTF- Chris Rock). 45" Walk (TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

Stopped at the station at Durkin/ Monroe for a fifteen pack of Ice. Then to County Market/ Fairhill. The were completely out of cabbage!!! $58. Stopped at the Dollar Store for three packs of allergy pills for a buck a box. At County Market the cheapest stuff was eighteen a box.

Home to read downstair, Burke, and listened to WU TANG CLAN. Then in the tub with more Work Farm Fun and GUN CLUB/ TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND.

Last episode of Season Five 'BREAKING BAD' (Netflix)
...I was very wrong. Episode ten is not the end, and the final season goes to sixteen episodes. And, I will watch them all.

Watched a documentary about the making of 'LA WOMAN'- THE DOORS.

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...
