Tu 8/18/20

Up 720am: Sunny with temps only to 80.

Watched 'MRS. LOWRY AND SON' (Kanopy). My post at Kanopy:

"A showcase for the immense acting talents of Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy Spall in a film about the toxic relationship between a mother and son. Although nearly all of the action occurs in only one bedroom and the tone is a bit melodramatic, yet it's the kind of film that sticks with you long after the credits have rolled."

Then I watched 'SUPREMACY' (Amazon Prime). A high-tension and gripping film about a family of blacks who are taken hostage in the middle of the night by a man and woman who have just murdered a cop and are affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood; with Joe Anderson, dawn Olivieri, and Danny Glover.

215~3pm...Walked to Fairhills gas station to fill the can. Then read ROBERT DALEY in the living room. 

415pm...Up to Parkview, Wash. Pk., Wiggins south, then east on Outer Park, Douglas north thru park north side, up the hill, Parkview, and down to 940... 2 HOURS. Mp3... JAMES BROWN'S BAND, 1ST LED ZEP, 'Live Through This' ~ HOLE. 

In the tub with more DALEY and listening to SOCIAL DISTORTION, TWIN PEAKS 'Wild Onion', THE BEATLES ~ 'Revolver'. 

Watched 'ARE YOU HERE'? (Amazon Prime).  A strange film that didn't seem very funny or tragic- just confusing. A bi-polar man inherits all of his father's fortune to the chagrin of his family. And his best friend, the local TV weatherman, tries to smooth the waters. Truly odd; with Owen Wilson, Melissa Rauch, Zach Gaifianakis, and Amy Poehler.  ..."Most cultures made beer before they had an alphabet"...

And then another episode of  'SELLING SUNSET' (Netflix). As a favor she agreed to take a showing that a co-realtor couldn't make, but then she showed up a half hour late. What Horror!

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...

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

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...
