We 8/5/20- Haircut at Supercuts

We 8/5/20

Up 715: Another beautiful day with plenty of sun and temps to the mid 70's.

Last night I got an email from Janny about our father's WWII medals that she and Joe got in the mail. I wrote to her about what they meant and Rambo he was not.

I watched 'PRISON SONG' (Netflix). A black prison genre film that stars Elvis Costello? He plays a teacher and a defense lawyer. Although the film highlights the egregiously unfair criminal justice system and the 'privatization' of prisons, a better film might have been how Costello became involved in this project; with Q-Tip, Harold Perrineau, Elivis Costello, and Mary J. Bilge.

Then watched 'THE DEATH OF DICK LONG' (Kanopy). I haven't laughed this hard at a movie in I don't remember when (and it weren't the weed!). My post at Kanopy:

" A regional black comedy set in very rural Alabama where the characters play it straight and deadpan, yet what they say is flat-out hilarious. If you're a fan of transgressive comedies, this one is a sure bet. I haven't laughed so hard since 'Shakes The Clown' by Bobcat Goldthwait. " 

At 2pm. I made an appointment at Supercuts for a cut at 230pm. Preparing to walk.

Walked over and arrived on time and waited 15 mins. One guy and his son didn't wear masks. You are masked while they do the cut. $15 plus $3 tip for about three inches. 

Home for 6 MILES on the treadmill in 58 mins. Watched another episode of THE FEED, more of LIVE DRIVE BY TRUCKERS at The 40 Watt Club and the rest of WTF~ DAX SHEPPARD. 

Then in the living room scanning the internet and listening to a tape of BUTCH HANCOCK. 

In the tub with MODEL BEHAVIOR and listening to HARVEY MANDEL, THE FLOCK ~ YouTube. 

Watched 'NO ALTERNATIVE' (Amazon Prime).  A brother and sister both are avid musicians who were deeply affected by the death of Kurt Cobain. The boy plays in a grunge band and the girl uses a male rap persona to deal with her anxieties. Their father is a judge and he defended a woman who was released early and went back and murdered her family. The gun that was used in her brother's suicide was bought to protect the family. "My Daddy's A Republican". The director said that the theme is based on his sister's ordeal with bipolar disorder.

Watched the first episode of Season I (The Pilot) 'DEAD LIKE ME' (Amazon Prime).

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...
