 Mo 2/1/21

930am.420pm.955pm.

Up 820am: Partly cloudy and breezy with temps to low 30's.

Watched 'SHERLOCK HOLMES' (Netflix). Directed by Guy Richie. Beautiful sets and costumes and Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are perfectly cast as Holmes and Watson; also with Noomi Rapace, Rachel McAdams, Jared Harris, Stephen Fry, Kelly Reilly, and Eddie Marsan.

1pm: ON THE TREADMILL...4 Miles and finished ROGAN/ GLASSER-' ACLU', A Sarah Silverman and 'How Neal Feel'.

Read for an hour and then wrote the 'Wrap'.

Watched 'HOMEFRONT' (Netflix). An ex-special forces guy and his ten year old daughter are in a witness protection program in rural Louisiana and lovin' it when they fall afoul of some locals. Their enemies include an evil and psychopathic meth lab operator and a crazed motorcycle gang. The theme seems to be that 'We don't apologize because that's just for pussies and we will feud, hate, and retaliate forever'.  Do real people act like this? Some excellent hand to hand, if you're into that kind of thing; with Jason Statham, James Franco, Kate Bosworth, Omar Benson Miller, and Winona Ryder. The screenplay was written by Sylvester Stallone.

645pm: ON THE TREADMILL...a little NEAL and a little JOE. 

In the tub with TUROW and listening to JIMMY SMITH and some '7 Steps To Heaven'- MILES DAVIS. 

Watched the next episode of 'ZERO ZERO ZERO' (Amazon Prime). This segment was about the Special Ops crew from the Mexican army at their school for special forces training.  Now this cartel is protected by an elite fighting group albeit with a psychopath at the helm and a lieutenant deviates from the plan, and one of the original members is killed.

The next 'THE HILLS' (Amazon Prime). Young and super-rich with nothing to do by feud and consume. The question is always what is the source of their wealth?  None of their salaries could possibly pay for their lavish lifestyles...an this is why I love it so.

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...
