Tu 10/22/19

Up 7am: Blustery, cloudy- to 60's.

Watched Netflix disc, 'FRIENDS WITH MONEY'  "Smart, witty and alert to the buried resentments that poke through the shiny surface of affluence, Holofcener's film recognizes that money is the new sex."...The Rolling Stone (dir. Nicole Holofcener). It's pretty much a four woman story about women in their forties, but only some with money. I loved it; with Catherine Keener, Joan Cusack, Frances McDormand, and Jennifer Aniston.

Then I watched, 'DARK CRIMES' (Netflix) A Polish detective relentlessly tries to solve a cold case about a murder linked to an 'S&M Sex Club'. His suspect was not the murderer, but the guy's wife was. And, in the last scene, she poisons the detective. Intentionally grim, murky, and depressing; with Jim Carrey and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Only barely worth a watch.

Janny sent me an email with the Brandenburg kids' ages and they are on a mini road trip to North Carolina and Tennessee. I sent a reply.

2pm: Drove to Green and got a carwash, then to the Dollar Store up the hill from Planet Fitness and got a box of laundry fresheners, Men's vitamins, a big bag of sponges for a buck, and a container of toilet cleaner. Then to the Wabash PO to drop off the disc, and the workout at Planet Fitness.
45" Walk (TRAFFICKERS- the endangered Rhino; Netflix). 45" Recumbent Bike (Finished 'THE SECRETS OF KINSHIP'). 45" Cross (Two episodes of 'Two Sentence Horror). 30" Walk (ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK). 30" Cross (ORANGE...).

Home to skim about have of 'THE SECRET OF KINSHIPS) and listened to THE COMMITMENTS. Then in the tub with a new John Grisham novel and listened to TOY CALDWELL/ TRAFFIC- 'Mr. Fantasy').

Watched the next 'BREAKING BAD' (Netflix), then part of 'THE CHEF SHOW', and then a few minutes of the 'Jenny Slate Comedy Special' (Netflix). Both were cutting out saying that Netflix was having problems???? But, I wanted to read some more of the Grisham novel anyway.

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...
