Tu 6/2/20

Up 730 am: Sunny, breezy with temps to 90.

Watched, 'I'M NO LONGER HERE' (Netflix). A powerful drama about a seventeen year old boy from Monterrey, Mexico and his love of the 'Cumbia' style of music. Because he accidentally witnessed the murders of some local gang leaders he is forced to flee to Brooklyn, NY.  and he tries to begin his life anew. Beautifully shot and the sets, locations, and costumes were amazing.

Then watched, 'THE TROUBLE WITH BLISS' (Amazon Prime). A surprisingly fine film about a lonely man who lives with his widowed father on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. When he has an affair with an eighteen year old high school student who happens to be the daughter of one of his high school buddies, his life spins out of control. Quirky and well written; with Michael C. Hall, Lucy Liu, Peter Fonda, and Brie Larson.  

Wasting time surfing through Nextdoor and decided to hit the sidewalks early so that I can finish with the mulching job later...maybe.

245 pm: Out the door. Down Westview to Lawrence and up Edwards to Spring. South on Spring to Ash, the west (passed Jamie's house) to Wiggins. To park and up the hill. Parkview and down to 940; JUST OVER TWO HOURS: Listened to ELVIS- 'Out Of Our Idiot', BOB MOULD, and BOWIE- 'Hunky Dory'.

Home to listen downstairs to THE ARISTOCRATS and ARIEL PINK and began the ROBERT PARKER novel. 

In the tub with more SPENSER and listened to ART BLAKEY and ART PEPPER.

Watched, 'TRIAL BY MEDIA: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE CRIMES'- 'Blago!' (Netflix). Blago is obviously corrupt, but if he didn't pocket any of the money then how was the deal set up? When and how was he to benefit?

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...
