Tu 6/16/20

Up 7 am: Another bright and sunny day with temps to the mid 80's.

Watched, 'THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME' (Netflix).  The American Peace Initiative (API) is a product which will send a signal to the human brain that will stop a person from committing a crime. Relay stations across America will broadcast this signal and it will end all crime in the US. Shortly before this this radical change goes into effect, a criminal gang is planning a ONE BILLION DOLLAR HEIST. The premise is crazed, unhinged, and almost laughably implausible. This movie was universally panned by critics because 2020 is not the time to put out a movie about a Law and Order styled government that aspires to put down civil unrest with absolute impunity. What were they thinking? And, Michael Pitt had a pretty good, yet almost goofy role in this travesty.

Just before noon I smoked a half a bud and watched the last hour and a half of 'PARTY MONSTER' (Amazon). I started this a couple of nights ago and was very surprised at how good it was. The film is about the twisted downward spiral of Michael Alig and James St. James, NYC nightclub promoters and the inventors of the concept of 'Club Kids'; with Seth Green, Macaulay Culkin, Dylan McDermott, Marilyn Manson, and Chloe Sevigny. 

 Then I finished the last hour of, 'STREITS': MATZO AND THE AMERICAN DREAM' (Amazon Prime). An excellent documentary about a matzo factory at 150 Rivington St. in the East Village, NYC. that has been in business at the same location for nearly a century. I began this over a week ago and I'm glad I finished it.

3 pm: PC is 'Off'' and will read for a while and then the walk.   

450 pm on the walk. Parkview to wash pk. North side frontage to Walnut. South Holmes to Outer Park. West across Chatham Rd. To Country Club, Oakmont, Parkview and down. 2 HOURS. Mp3. KING OF AMERICA, SUPERCHUNK, SLINT. 

Un tub with THE 4TH DEADLY SIN and listened to BONNIE RAITT, BONOBO, BONNIE TYLER, BONGRIPPER. 

Watched, 'UNEASY RIDER' (Amazon Prime). I didn't realize that he was such an 'artist'. Also, he stopped drinking far earlier than I had thought. Most of his 'post- 70's' output was done when he was sober. Hard to believe, but this includes 'BLUE VELVET'.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

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...

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...
