Tu 8/11/20

 Tu 8/11/20

Up 7am: Overcast to partly cloudy with a very chance of rain and much cooler- temps to just over 80.

I watched 'SOMETIMES ALWAYS NEVER' that I ordered from Hoopla yesterday.  A father has been grief stricken for many years because one of his sons ran away from home after an argument over a Scrabble game. He has never been seen again. The film is about how the father and his other son and family rekindle their relationships. A touching and sweet film and Bill Nighy was his usual best; with Sam Riley and Bill Nighy.

***I also ordered 'CHILD 44' for tomorrow.

***1150am: Another muscle car was delivered to Boozer's old house. Possibly a Dodge, black. 

Then I watched 'ELIZABETH HARVEST' (Netflix). The wife of a billionaire genius dies of a rare disease. He clones her into several copies and searches for a cure, and then one of the clones kills him. She is trapped in the house on a huge estate and must fight the billionaire's blind son and his female researcher for her freedom. A truly convoluted tale and a strange story in an elegant setting, yet ultimately lacking in sense; with Abbey Lee, Ciaran Hinds, and Dylan Baker.  


115pm: PC is 'Off' and going for an early walk. Will hit Walmart for the refill of the Tamsulosin and pick up a few other items.

215pm..In the Elantra to Walmart. $70~ a couple of bowls, mop, toothpaste, 2 bags dry cat food, 4 pks. Incense, and Tamsulosin. 

325pm..On the walk. Parkview, Oakmont, Country Club, Laurel, asphalt Outer Park, North on Lincoln, North side of park, up hill, Parkview and down to 940.Mp3~ JERRY LECROIX, THE LIBERTINES, JOHN HIATT. 

READ NIGHT SINS in the living room and listened to a tape of LIVE PAUL WESTERBERG. 

Then in the tub with NIGHT SINS and listening to HENDRIX~ 'First Rays...,  TY SEGALL~' Freedom's Goblin'.

Watched 'THE LINCOLN LAWYER' (Amazon Prime).  Los Angeles defense lawyer, Mickey Haller finds himself defending a serial rapist/killer, but he can't do anything due to client privilege; with Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, Wiliam H. Macy, John Leguizamo, Michael Pena, and Bryan Cranston. I love Michael Connelley in any form and it was fairly consistent with the book.

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...
