Su 1/31/21

910am.405pm.950pm.

Up 730am: Overcast with periods of 'wintry mix' and barely a trace of accumulation- 30's.

Watched 'THE INSIDER' (Leaves Amazon Prime tomorrow). 'The Big Reveal' is not so much that cigarettes are merely a delivery system for nicotine, but that if you attempt to speak Truth to Power you are fucked; with Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, Christopher Plummer, Philip Baker Hall, Gina Gershon, Michael Gambon, and Rip Torn. Nominated for 7 Oscars, another 23 wins & 51 nominations.

1pm: ON THE TREADMILL...4 Miles and watched a YouTube video of Lowell Bergman (AL Pacino's character in 'THE INSIDER'), a YouTube video of Fran Lebovitz, and the beginning of JOE ROGAN'S interview with IRA GLASSER-from the ACLU. 

Read TUROW for an hour and then did the Weekly Cleaning.

Watched 'BROKEN CITY' (Leaves Tubi tomorrow). A corrupt New York City mayor is brought down after it's learned that he stood to gain millions from the demolition of a public housing building and replacing it with high priced condominiums.  The mayor hires an ex-cop to spy on his wife because he believes that she is cheating on him, but the detective uncovers the real estate scam and goes public; with Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jeffrey Wright, and Barry Pepper.

640pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles and watched 'HOW NEAL FEEL'.

In the tub with TUROW and listening to WAYNE SHORTER, 'ICE CREAM KID' ~ Dead. 

Watched the next episode of 'ZERO ZERO ZERO' (Amazon Prime).

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...
