We 2/19/2020

Up 730am after going to bed at 1030pm, Well rested. Partly sunny with temps to mid 30's.

Watched 'AMERICAN DREAMER' (Amazon Prime). Uber driver makes a deal with a local gang boss- 'Be my driver for two days and you get two grand'. Then, a series of killings and one infant kidnapping occur. Almost a wicked satire, but very compelling; with Jim Gaffigan as the driver. I really liked this one!

Then watched, 'COPENHAGEN' (Amazon Prime). A young man travels through Europe, sees the sights, meets friends, and stays in hostels. He has a letter from his recently deceased father to his grandfather that he is trying to deliver. He falls hard for a fourteen year old Danish teenager and she helps him deliver the less than sensational message. Lots of great shots of the city and an unusual love story. Very much worth a look.

Then the end of 'HIRED GUN' (Amazon Prime) that I began last night. 'FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH'? Another super-group that I've never heard of.

130pm: To Ace on Wabash for more furnace filters and to Planet Fitness for the workout.

On the machines by 145pm. 45" Cross (RONAN FARROW- WTF). 45" Bike (Woody Allen's son fighting 'Catch and Kill'- tabloid term to buy a story and then bury it). 45" Cross (WHO KILLED MALCOLM X). 30" Walk (MALCOLM X). 30" Cross (MALCOLM X- more interviews with Ronan Farrow).

Stopped at the Ace Hardware up the hill and bought five filters at five bucks a pop. Each filter is good for three months. The store will be undergoing renovation until April, but they're still open. Tried to find cat litter, but too well hidden.

Home to read downstairs with a cup of instant. Starting to really like EDUCATED and listened to THE BODEANS.
Then in the tub with more adventures from Idaho and more BODEANS.

And then, 'LED ZEPPELIN- ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES' (Amazon Prime). Background info on the roots of the first two Zeppelin records...only for the fans....Then an ancient YouTube 20" video of Steve Jones and Paul Cook returning to Hammersmith for the first time in a couple of decades and walking around their favorite haunts...peas and mash??
Then two episodes of 'FLEABAG' (Amazon Prime).

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...
