Mo 5/29/20

Up 730am: Muggy and hot- to low 90's.

Watched, 'THE HELP' (Netflix). A profile of Jim Crow in Mississippi, 1963 that's equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking; with Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain, Cicely Tyson, Sissy Spacek, and Allison Janney.

Had a fleeting thought of mowing the lawn, but came to my senses. Too hot and it's supposed to rain hard tonight and tomorrow, but the next several days will be blistering. I'm already dreading the possibility of water downstairs because flood watches have been issued. 

***Noticed that Amazon Prime has introduced 'WATCH PARTY' for PC users only.

Watched 'ZAMA' (Amazon Prime). I watched the entire film in a sleepy daze. A cinematic collection of arresting images and unworldly locations, but lacked a compelling story-line...But I might have missed something. 

245pm: Tired, but will hit the streets to avoid pop-up showers. 
310pm. Lawrence to Edwards east to Spring. South and West at Cedar. Holmes to Walnut. Northside park road to Parkview. Down to 940. 2 HOURS. 

Read OZONE downstairs and listened to one of Chris's tapes, Hits Of The 90s, SINGLES TAPE.

In the tub with more OZONE. Listened to ALICE COOPER, ALICE IN CHAINS, AL KOOPER. 

Watched, 'ATHLETE A' (Netflix). Dr. Larry Nassar, the USA Gymnastics Team doctor, is revealed to be a serial rapist of hundreds of young girls over a period of two decades. 

Then an episode of, 'THE PATRIOT ACT' (Netflix). Not Rule By Majority, but Rule By Plurality. You win if you get more votes than the guy you are running against, not the majority of votes cast. This forces us into a two party system. 'Winner Take All' the only thing that we agree on is that we vote 'against' instead of 'for'. NEGATIVE PARTISANSHIP. 

And another episode of 'PATRIOT ACT' about Why Doing Taxes Is So Hard.

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...
