Tu 10/15/19

Up 750am: Cloudy with a threat of rain this morning- mid 60's.

Watched 'THE FOREST OF LOVE' (Netflix) Strange, violent, and odd....
“The Forest of Love — an exuberant psycho-sexual blood-feast made by the kind of movie-obsessed madman whose irrepressible life force can only be expressed through a camera lens."
"The Forest of Love is a bizarre pitch-black tragicomedy that's fully immersed in excess in all forms".
A group of girls stage 'Romeo and Juliet' for a high school production, and meet up with a group of boys who are making a movie. Then, a con-man gets them all to follow him and madness ensues....And, there's also a serial killer on the loose. The film is like nothing else!

Gabes's called and the repairman will call back tomorrow around lunch time and maybe stop in late tomorrow afternoon. He's doing some work in New Berlin.

The dentist called to say that they are offering a 15% sale Wednesday and Thursday, so I moved the appointment up to Thursday at 3pm. This will save me about seventy dollars.

And Dr. Peterson's office called to schedule my pre-op for the colonoscopy. The pre-op will be on December 23rd at 4pm on South Sixth-West.

115pm: Elantra to FitClub West. 45" Octane (WTF interview with Elvis Costello). 45" Walk (TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Old Style Cross.

Then to Supercuts for a sixteen dollar haircut; including a two buck tip, "Seeya next year". I had been in last year almost to the day....seems like longer.

Home to read downstairs and listen to FUGAZI. Then in the tub for more Steven Womack and THE COMMITMENTS/ SF SORROW/ THE PINK FAIRIES.

The last episode of Season III, 'GOLIATH' (Amazon Prime), then the first two episodes of Season #5 of , 'CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM'.

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...
