Tu 10/29/19

Up 8am: Cloudy with temps only to mid 40's. A 'wintry mix' is even predicted for late Wednesday and into Halloween.

Watched 'OUTRAGE CODA' (Hoopla--last rental of the month) A Korean gangster roughs up a couple of hookers during an S&M encounter and offends a branch of the Japanese Yakuza. Mayhem ensues. My biggest 'take-away' was how similar the Asian crime organizations were to the corporate structure of big business. For both, it's all about the bottom line and that is profit; with Beat Takeshi.

Then, 'SALAD DAYS: A DECADE OF PUNK IN WASHINGTON' (Amazon Prime) An in depth examination of the Washington DC punk scene from the late seventies thru the mid 80's. It makes the case that Punk did not originate in the American Northwest, but only evolved from the DC scene. I got a bunch of new music to put on my Amazon Prime.

Wrote a reply to Janny's invitation to see Erik Dylan's live show on November 8th at Boondocks. I said 'NO'.

130pm: Reading James Lee Burke and listening to some of the DC punk that added to Amazon Music.

3pm: mailed the YSA forms and hit Planet Fitness. 45" Walk (THE YARD- first episode). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read 'THIS HALF OF PARADISE'/ FLIPPER/ RITES OF SPRING). 45" Cross (YouTube interviews with Erik Dylan). 30" Walk (YouTube- Erik Dylan). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Scott Aukerman).

Home to soak and finish the James Lee Burke novel and began 'BODY SURFING'- Anita Shreve/ THE WALLFLOWERS/ TROUBLE FUNK/ EARLY STONES- 'Around and Around'.

The next episode of 'BREAKING BAD' (Netflix). Then a strange, odd Youtube interview with Charley Watts of The Stones from the early 80's.
Then a YouTube video, 'THE SACRED TRIANGLE- BOWIE , REED, IGGY'- early 70's NYC/ London.

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...
