 Sa 8/8/20

Up 650am: Partly cloudy with showers possible late this afternoon- mid 80's.

I wrote up 'MODEL BEHAVIOR'- Jay McInerney for the blog.

***Ordered more laxative from Amazon

Trying to find out how to transfer a CD to YouTube Music and they aren't making it easy.

I started watching 'INCEPTION' (Amazon Prime); with Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine, and Lukas Haas. Too much monkey business on the screen... A.K.A- Special Effects. In the mood for something a bit more thoughtful. 

So I switched to ''ARKANSAS' (Amazon Prime). Two hapless, low level street drug dealers from the Dixie Mafia inexplicably find themselves running a lucrative and deadly drug empire....A VERY FUNNY SEQUENCE: After completing a drug deal at a customer's house they must wait and watch a movie. People coming and leaving could raise suspicion, so you do the deal and stay for a film....The Flaming Lips do the music and I didn't realize until I watched the ending credits ;with Liam Hemsworth, Vince Vaughn, John Malkovich, and Clark Duke. I really liked it. 

Then watched 'WORLD'S MOST WANTED- Samantha Lewthwaite: The White Widow'. She was raised in Northern Ireland during the civil disturbances. Her parents divorced when she was a teenager and she converted to Islam. She is a suspect in numerous acts of international terrorism and is quite possibly the most wanted female on the planet. 


1pm: PC is 'Off' and reading and listening to tapes in the living room. Rain is out of the forecast until much later tonight and I'll be walking later.

4pm. Apres Marijuana I noticed Bob and Carol with another couple on the front lawn of the 'roof rake' house. The strange man seemed to be sketching or taking notes. Did not seek clarification ~ too enraptured with the music of Bill Frisell. 415pm. Up and to Wash. Pk. via Parkview, North edge of park across McArthur, Henrietta, Laurel, Leland, Wiggins into park and halfway around again, up hill, Parkview, Greenview and up to 940. Mp3 BILL FRISELL, THE BRAINIACS, CREAM.

***Todd and Julie now showcase the Far Right, 'TRUMP' SUPPORT THE POLICE. 

In the tub with TAMI HOAG and listening to THE METERS, PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND ~ 'Keep On Moving', THE BEATLES ~ 'ABBEY ROAD'. 

Watched 'MISS MEADOWS' (Amazon Prime). An uptight and morally rigid woman tries to cleanse the city of evil doers with her 25 automatic. A very strange tone, and I'm not sure that it was intentional. And then she becomes pregnant by the local sheriff. Katie Holmes stars and was the Executive Producer.  From The Dissolve:

" It’s so relentlessly upbeat and deliberately artificial that it admits no cynicism or judgment, and it makes the film daringly weird." I liked it.

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...
