We 9/30/20

 We 9/30/20

Began and read about 30 pages of 'METHUSELAH'S CHILDREN'- Robert Heinlein and then got out of bed at 645am. Partly cloudy, breezy with temps to about 70.

I wrote up 'LEGION' by William Peter Blatty for the blog.

The novel became the film 'EXORCIST 3' and it's available on Amazon Prime so it is today's, Morning Movie. Although Blatty wrote the screenplay the ending is radically different from the novel. Kinderman has a 'Full-Blown, Large Handgun, Exorcism Struggle' with the man in the padded cell who claims to be Kinderman's friend, the priest.  This exorcism seemed very tacked-on, and according to one of the YouTube video reviews, it was. The bit about the carp living in his bathtub is still in the film and one of the highlights; George C. Scott, Brad Dourif, and a very small role for a very young Kevin Corrigan.

Then I watched 'KILLBIRD' (Amazon Prime). A birdwatcher's car breaks down in very rural Oregon and she finds herself at the mercy of a recluse who believes in conspiracy theories. But, is she a spy or is she only what she claims to be? I expected a much bigger pay-off. 

***Got an email from Janny thanking me for the gift card.

***I called Netflix and they will send out the next two discs on my list, but everything is fine on their end. I tried to call the PO and they sent me a link to begin a case, but I haven't got the text.

215pm: Read the Heinlein novel and napped. 

...On the treadmill for 5 MILES in about AN HOUR AND 35 MINS. 3.1 pace or higher. Watched part of a WHISKEY GINGER and more of UNCOVERED CRIMES. 

In the tub with METHUSELAH'S CHILDREN and listening to MARTIN BARRE, random YOUTUBE political videos, WISHBONE ASH. 

Then I watched 'AMERICAN MURDER: THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR (Netflix). A True Crime Drama of 'real time' camera and social media postings tell the story of a man who kills and wife and then murders his two daughters, ages three and four. It felt really real!

Then I watched an episode of 'THE CHEF SHOW' (Netflix). The guys do a little Korean cooking- KIMCHI.

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...
