 Sa 11/7/20- Biden Is President!

Up 7am: More sun with temps to low 70's.

***Presidential election is still stalled at 264 for Biden and 214 for Trump. Trump is demanding recounts and Scott Walker, ex-governor of Wisconsin, said that the last recount only 'found' hundreds of votes that were discarded. It doesn't look as if Trump has a chance...thank Christ!

Watched 'MIDNIGHT SPECIAL' (Netflix). An eight year old boy is thought to be the messiah by a religious cult and a weapon and a threat to the US government. His father, mother, and a family friend try to save the boy from the cult and the federal authorities and allow the boy to return to his parallel universe. I had seen this before and the first part of the movie is very mysterious and details are sparse, but in the last reel it degenerates into a mediocre chase film; with Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, and Adam Driver.

***845am: The nurse from Brewer Animal Hospital called to enquire about Buddy's health. He's fine and not vomiting. I asked about the cost of the tests and both are under a hundred bucks. What was that woman talking about tests of $1,300? A reminder to only use social media reviews sparingly.

***At noon I learned that Joe Biden is the next president with 290 electoral college votes!

Then the next episode of 'CARMEL- WHO KILLED MARIA MANTA?' (Netflix). The husband is aquitted of the murder, but the first to be found  guilty of the cover-up. One hour of the series remains. 

105pm: Out for a walk and will finish up on the treadmill later...Parkview, Country Club, Laurel, Park north thru the center of Wash. Pk., west on the north side of the park and up the hill, Parkview, Fairway and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 40 MINS...Mp3...YO LA TENGO, THE SMITHS, 'Some Girls'- The Stones.  

Watched 'WALL STREET- Money Never Sleeps' (Amazon Prime). A sequel to the film 'WALL STREET' and in this one Gekko ('Greed Is Good') swindles $100 million from his estranged daughter, then gives it back to her as she is about to marry a hungry young shark who also works 'the street'. Oliver Stone directs and the message might be that our financial system is beyond fixing; with Michael Douglas, Carey Mulligan, Shia LaBeouf, and Frank Langella. 

650pm: THREE MILES ON THE Treadmill. Watched an interview with Alex Gibney on his docs about STEVE JOBS and SCIENTOLOGY. 

In the tub with NICHOLAS RINALDI and listening to HENRY THREADGILL, JEFFERSON STARSHIP,  LIVE GRAHAM PARKER.

 Watched 'UNCLE NICK' (Amazon Prime). A very dark and mordant look at Christmas day in a dysfunctional family. Brian Posehn is perfect as the alcoholic, creepy 'Uncle Nick'. The subplot is the story of 'Ten Cent Beer Night' at a Cleveland Indians baseball game back in 1974. Both stories end in absolute disaster. An interesting film that is very unsettling and that's the way the writers wanted it. I liked it!

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...
