Sa 11/14/20- Bulb In Lawn Light

 Sa 11/14/20- Bulb In Lawn Light

Up 830am: Rain all day with temps to mid 50's.

***Last night the light on the front lawn lamp post went out. It was flickering and when I flipped the switch 'off' and 'on', it went out for good. I remembered that I don't remember how to get into the bulb housing.

Watched Netflix disc 'THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN'. The story of a young woman who falsely claims that an Algerian gang on a Parisian train attacked and assaulted her because she was Jewish. However, the movie is more of a character study of this sexy prevaricator and the world she lives in. Friends, family, and her lover know she's not telling the truth, but everyone has their reasons for accepting her reality...or not. A very absorbing film; with Emilie Dequenne, Michel Blanc, and Catherine Deneuve.

1250pm: Checked the lawn light. It took me less than five minutes to get the top off and to remove the bulb. It was so easy and all the anxiety for nada.

1pm: Downstairs for a session on the treadmill. Watched the next episode of 'LEAH REMINI: Scientology and The Aftermath'. (Netflix).

230pm: Dropped the Netflix discs in the box at Fairhills and I decided to do the grocery shopping: $106. It looks like the pandemic is on the rise, so now is the time to hunker down. 

Then I went to Ace on Walnut and got the bulb for the lawn light. I put it in, but it hasn't come on. Maybe it isn't dark enough? Yes! In another half hour the light came on. And I did it all without a degree in electrical engineering.

I watched the first hour of 'GOING CLEAR: Scientology and The Prison of Belief'. 

540pm: On the treadmill for THREE MILES. Watched a conversation about Gender Politics with Dr. DEBRA SOH on The Joe Rogan Experience. 

In the tub with KOONTZ and listening to THE MINUTEMEN, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, 'Book of Dreams' ~ STEVE MILLER BAND, 'FROM THE MARS HOTEL' ~ The Dead. 

Watched the last hour of 'GOING CLEAR: Scientology and The Prison of Belief'. (Kanopy). A well researched biography of The Church of Scientology...warts and all.  Another superb documentary by Alex Gibney. 

Then the next episode of 'THE MISSING' (Amazon Prime). What a classy convoluted story!

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...
