Tu 1/7/2020

Up 8am: Bright, breezy, chilly, and sunny with temps to low 40's.

Watched Netflix disc, 'CORPORATE ANIMALS'. A socially tone deaf CEO takes a group of her employees on a remote cave exploration to build Team Spirit, and they get trapped and resort to cannibalism. Works more like an extended comedy bit that you might see on something like SNL, but there were some funny moments; with Demi Moore, Ed Helms, Jessica Williams, and several more lesser known comedic actors.

Watched the PBS documentary about Joe McCarthy, "MCCARTHY', that debuted on TV last night. Will save the last forty minutes for tonight.

*****Called FedEx and it would be just over two dollars to make three copies of my driver's license. Why hasn't it shown up on my checking account? I used the debit card.

110pm: To County Market/ Fairhills to pick up the colonoscopy kit ($99.00!!!!), then to the Monroe PO to drop off the disc, and on to FitClub South. Stopped for gas at the station on far South Sixth.

45" Precor (TRUE CRIME). 45" Recumbent Bike (TRUE CRIME and began the Burke novel). 45" Precor (TRUE CRIME). 30" Walk (TV). 30" Cross (TV).

County Market/ South Sixth: $57. Guy couldn't access my 'card' from the phone. He didn't know what the fuck he was doing.

Home to finish 'THE BITTER SEASON' and more Burke. Listened to ROSEANNE CASH and RUSH.

The next 'BETTER CALL SAUL' (Netflix). Then watched the last forty minutes of,'MCCARTHY' (PBS). The way things are today, with regard to Trump, are unmistakable-  When and how demagogues happen. Has the American spirit that animated McCarthy gone anywhere? The answer is obvious.....NO!

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...
