Sa 8/1/20

Up 630am: Much cooler, overcast, and rain through late morning- to only mid 70's.

Watched 'EARTHQUAKE BIRD' (Netflix). A repressed western Japanese translator meets a local photographer and they begin an affair. But he seems to be attracted to her friend and maybe he's a psychopath and kills her friend. Lots of melodrama, but no pay off and the whole experience ends on a dull note. Such a waste of the acting talent of Alicia Vikander ('EX MACHINA') and Riley Keough ('AMERICAN HONEY').

Then I watched 'I'M TALKING TO YOU' (Amazon Prime). 'A Day In The Life' of Two Garda cops who are assigned to monitor traffic on the beltway around Dublin, Ireland. Social issues are raised, but it's hard to be serious if the two leads remind the viewer so much of Laurel and Hardy.

1220Pm: Got up too early so I'll read/nap for a while and then either walk or bike to the credit union to deposit the check. 

220pm. After reading/nap I went on the treadmill for FIVE AND A HALF MILES. Watched true crime on YouTube. 

430-505pm biked to the night deposit at the credit union to drop off the check. I'm wondering if I put it in the correct slot. Why do they make it so fucking hard? Listened to 'Lodger' ~ BOWIE. 

Reading Russo in the living room and listening to WILL~FM. 

In the tub with STRAIGHT MAN and listening to THE BLACK KEYS, THE ESSENTIAL LOU REED, and listened to Joe Rogan interview Rob Zombie.

Watched Netflix disc 'THE JESUS ROLL'. Absolutely, not what I was expecting! The first 'sexually fluid' main-street film that I've ever scene.  '3 Ways' with two men and a woman, and I'm shocked that none of the reviews mentioned this is a very different manner from how sex is usually presented; with John Turturro, Bobby Cannavale, Audrey Tautou, Susan Sarandon, and Jon Hamm.

Then watched the first episode of season 1 of 'THE FEED' (Amazon Prime). 'The Feed' is a mega-corporation in the near future that has introduced a cyborg implant for most of the population that unites all users' thoughts, dreams, and emotions. And then the system breaks down. I'll be watching more of this series.

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...
