 We 2/17/21

850 am.410 pm.930 pm.

Up 740 am: Overcast with temps to the mid teens and flurries with little or no accumulation.

Watched 'SYNCHRONIC' (Hoopla). Two New Orleans paramedics stumble upon a new synthetic drug that allows users to travel back in time, but where you land in the past depends on where you are when the drug kicks in. The details of the process were hazy and the premise was far fetched, but not too bad overall. Filmed in New Orleans; with Anthony Mackie and Jamie Doran. I had always thought that overdoses on 'bath salts' were caused by people thinking that this was a side effect of taking a bathroom product. Actually, chemists develop drugs that are very close to popular illegal drugs and then these drugs are marketed as 'bath salts' and can be sold over the counter and evade drug laws. 

Watched part of an episode of 'THE DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS' (Pluto). 

12 pm: ON THE TREADMILL...4 Miles at 3.4 pace and listened to 'THE CLOWN AND THE CANDYMAN' podcast on Spotify and began a podcast interview with Tim Dillon.

***Received a text from Republic that was very confusing. Will they pickup tomorrow or not?

Read/ napped with '1876' and 90.9 FM.

410 pm: Watched 'NANCY' (Amazon Prime). A brilliant performance by Riseborough about a very disturbed young woman who fakes a pregnancy to be close to a man that she met online and then she visits a couple who are still mourning the loss  of their daughter who disappeared decades before.  This strange young woman claims that she might be their child; with Andrea Riseborough (ZERO ZERO ZERO), Steve Buscemi, Ann Dowd, and John Leguizamo.

ON THE TREADMILL. .. 2 Miles at 3.4 pace and more of TIM DILLON.

In the tub with '1876' and listening to KING JAMES & THE SPECIAL MEN, BUMMERS, THE MAYTAGS.  When I went downstairs I listened to part of an podcast interview with Jimmy Horn of KING JAMES & THE SPECIAL MEN on NPR. These cuts sound much more like a New Orleans band than the album, but both musical directions are worthy of a deep dive. 


Began 'CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR' (Amazon Prime). It's crazy even to consider that this might be the way that foreign policy is implemented. I left the final 30" for tomorrow morning; with Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Emily Blunt.

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...
