 Tu 2/23/21

915am. 145pm. 1020pm.

Up 730am: Sunny, breezy with temps to the low 50's. Spring Sprang?

Put 'CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS'- Dave Holland on the mp3 player.

Called Brewer to pick up another gel-pen later today.

Watched 'OPERATION FINALE' (Netflix). A rather bland exploration of the capture of Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1960. Eichmann's son was dating a girl who figured out who his father was and notified the Mossad. The film seems to be an accurate portrayal of the real events. He really was smuggled out disguised as a very drunk commercial airline pilot; with Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley, and Melanie Laurent.

Watched the last episode of 'AMEND- The Fight For America' (Netflix). The 13th Amendment states that all Americans are Free, and the 14th Amendment ensures the rights of citizens under 'the equal protection of the law'. Both statues were intended to deal primarily with slavery, but these two amendments ( especially the 14th) have affected everything from the end of Jim Crow to the establishment of women suffrage, gay marriage, and reproductive rights. 

150pm: A walk through Washington Park, over to Washington, behind Walgreens, to Brewer to pick up the gel-pen, and then home. 2 HOURS; Mp3-NPR.

Read 'THE TURNER DIARIES' on the couch. 

640pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles and watched Live BLACK CROWES ~YouTube. 

In the tub with TURNER DIARIES and listening to MOTHER HIPS, an ELECTRONIC TRIBUTE TO THE GRATEFUL DEAD.

Watched 'GUNS N' ROSES: Rock Case Studies' (Amazon Prime); 51".  All of the 'reviewers' went on and on about the group's 'bad reputation', but nothing more specific than the band liked to drink and drug.  Essentially they were the best 80's Hair/Metal Band (a dubious honor), but I do like 'THE SPAGHETTI INCIDENT' though. 

The first episode of 'HOARDERS' (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...
