Th 10/31/19- First Snow Of The Season!

Th 10/31/19- First Snow Of The Season!

Up 820am: About a half inch of wet snow fell last night and it continued through the morning, and we probably got a little over an inch total and nothing has melted by late afternoon. Not cold enough to stick on the streets- temps only to just above freezing and pretty windy.

Watched 'THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY' (Amazon Prime) The award winning film based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith about the sociopathic killer-chameleon, Tom Ripley; with Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Philip Baker Hall... A classic, intricately plotted crime thriller!

Watched a few minutes of a YouTube video about Morrissey, but I did add several albums to my Amazon Prime.

Then, 'INSIDE MAN: MOST WANTED' (Netflix) An elaborate bank heist film in which the New York branch of the Federal Reserve is targeted. The stolen gold is melted down into fake brass rods, and the clean-up crew (actually the robbers) takes it out right under the noses of the authorities. The floods and explosions were merely diversions. The only star that I recognized was Rhea Seehorn, from 'BETTER CALL SAUL'.

PC off by 315pm, and left for FitClub South around 4pm.
I used the Map Navigator on the phone and it took me to the mall (I might not have cleared it, since I went to LA Fitness yesterday using the app), and then south on Vets to 72 east, but then it wanted me to get off on Hazel Dell and head to Toronto Rd????

Ignoring the instructions, I tried to take a left on sixth to head north on the frontage road but that arrow was stuck. I couldn't believe it. The guy in front of me ran it, and I waited another complete rotation, and then I ran it. What the fuck!!

******I ran on the track for the first time in a long, long time. Listened to THE ALLMAN BROTHERS LIVE, and I ran into Larry Pemberton at the 25" mark and talked to him for about ten minutes, and then I resumed the run: 45 Minutes Total. He wanted to know about my insurance and he was waiting to take some kind of a group class.
45" Cross (TV all workout). 30" Walk. 45" Procore (WTF- finished the interview with Chris Rock and continued with Jake Johnson on OFF CAMERA). 30" Cross.

Left FitClub about 830pm and in the tub with JOHN COLTRANE/ BITCHES BREW/ MOGWAI and more 'BODY SURFING'.

Not one footprint was on my front lawn, so I'm pretty sure that I avoided all trick or treaters. And all of the snow was still on the grass, but it will all be gone tomorrow.

Watched the next episode of . 'BREAKING BAD', then a  bit of an interview with Steven  King. and then a YouTube video about, 'BEATLES VS. STONES'.

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...
