We 6/3/20- INTERNET DOWN MIDWEST; 2-5 PM

We 6/3/20

Up 620 am: Hot with a chance of rain this afternoon- to 90. No rain until late in the evening. 

Wrote up 'CUTTER AND BONE' for the blog.

Watched, 'PUBLIC ENEMIES' (Netflix). A star-studded cast, yet a fairly uneventful portrayal of some of America's criminal superstars and the newly formed Federal Bureau of Investigation during the 1930's; with Christian Bale, Johnny Depp, Stephen Dorff, Giovanni Ribisi, Marion Cotillard, Diana Krall, Lily Taylor, and Leelee Sobieski, dir. Michael Mann. 

Finished the film at 11 am and finished the mulching while the PC is on 'Sleep'.
40" on the mulching. Looks 'not good' , yet better. 
Downstairs to read PALE KINGS AND PRINCES. Listened to ART PEPPER, ARTHUR Conley, SAM&Dave.

***INTERNET DOWN AT  2 pm. 
Finished Spenser novel. Began Phil Lesh bio.

On The Walk : 315 pm-445 pm. Because the Internet was down I didn't pay much attention to the weather, and about half way through the walk I noticed that the Southwestern sky was full of gray/purple rain clouds heading this way. Up Westview, Parkview, Oakmont, Golf, Greenbriar, and Iles east to Schnuck's... Turned back at Chatham and Iles. No rain... Still no rain at 845 pm, and I hot-footed it north on Chatham to Parkview, and Greenview to Fairway and up to 940 pm. 

***Internet back on when I got in. 

CHAIR
POSTAL SERVICE and SAM THE SHAM AND THE PHAROHS while reading the bio of Phil Lesh. Then in the tub with LIVE DEAD and DEAD stuff on YouTube.

Watched, 'Zack Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion' (Netflix). Fifteen years old and still funny.

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...
