We 8/26/20- New Casio Watch

 We 8/26/20

Up 705am: Partly sunny and hot with temps to just over 90.

I added 'Monster'- REM and 'Too High To Die'- THE MEAT PUPPETS to the Mp3 player and deleted UNCLE TUPELO, LOU REED, and IAN MOORE.

I watched 'THE CRIMES THAT BIND' (Netflix). An Argentinian film about infanticide, rape, and class privileged. A wealthy couple does everything that they can to support and defend their son until they realize that he is an immature huckster and a violent rapist. When the truth is exposed the couple reject their son's plea for help and offer emotional and monetary support to the women and children that he abused. A strange yet effective ending. 

Then I watched 'AIR' (Crackle). Two guys are in charge of a group of people who are in suspended animation chambers in a bunker after an apocalypse involving worldwide chemical warfare. The two guys are just maintenance men. They awake for two hours every six months to tend the people in 'deep sleep' for their genes will begin the human race anew. One kills the other because ..... I really have no idea. A waste of time; with Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou.

Scanned the news at CNN and Google and decided to bike to Walmart for a new watch. 145pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for the ride. Will walk the treadmill much later. 

**** NEW WATCH

215~ 345pm...biked out by the mall, Drawbridge, and west around the movie theater and chained the bike by the northeast entrance to Walmart. Bought my first analog watch in decades. $26~ used the gift card so it was only $1.25 out of pocket. 

The instructions were impossible, but I have Time, Day, and Month. You can do much more, but it's so crazy confusing. 40 mins. setting the watch and reading DALEY in the living room. 

In the tub with DALEY and listening to A TOUR OF MEMPHIS by Amazon experts?!, HOUNDMOUTH ~ 'Little Neon Limelight'... an excellent record!, SHAKEY GRAVES~ 'And The War Came'. 

Then I watched 'THE 5TH OF JULY' (Amazon Prime). A kind of slapstick comedy about a black man from Los Angeles who gets robbed while trying to spread his father's ashes at a rural lake (where it is expressly illegal)  and loses everything, but he must pick up his girlfriend at the airport. Not bad for a small budget No-Star Independent.

Then an episode of 'THE CHEF SHOW' (Netflix). George Lucas's Sky-walker Ranch gets a visit from The Chefs.


***I noticed the new watch did not advance Day of Week and Date.

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...
