 Th 3/18/21- Wellness Visit Dr. Ellison: 1pm.

920am. 455pm. 920pm. 

Up 830am: Rain and windy all day with temps to 40's.

Watched more of 'DEALER' (Netflix). It seemed like an authentic 'trip through da hood' with a real gang from Marseilles. A novel use of  'Found Footage' (CLOVERFIELD) style of filmmaking and the ten minute episodes only added to the edginess.

Watched the first episode of  'THE AGE OF SAMURAI' (Netflix). The American Civil War lasted four years and Japan's battle for reunification lasted a hundred and fifty years. Generations of war would dramatically alter their national character. 

1240pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for the Wellness Visit. Left for the visit at 1220pm. A male nurse did the weight/blood pressure part. Dr. Ellison came in and I talked about my ears (wax buildup/hearing loss) , beginning workouts, iron pills, magnesium pills. He said that it would be OK to take the free hearing test at Beltone. He also said that there was no record of whether I had the second shingles shot. I stopped at Walgreens on the way home and they had a record of the booster.

****When I left the doctor I went down 19th and noticed Brandenburg's car in the drive. They were doing some work on the house before they took Jonas to his therapy near Schnuck's on Iles.

3pm: ON THE TREADMILL....4 1/2 Miles....Watched an episode of the Kal Penn series on Amazon Prime 'THIS GIANT BEAST THAT IS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY'- Does big money transform people into dicks or do dicks inherently make big money? Then began THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE interview with NATE BARGATZE.

5pm: Watched 'JUST ADD WATER' (Amazon Prime). A very dark comedy about life in the unincorporated community on the edge of Death Valley called Trona, CA. It reminded me of films set near The Salton Sea. A guy works as a parking attendant, his wife is cheating on him with his brother, and a local gang is shaking down the town. The town stands tall, the bad guys get their comeuppance, and the good guy gets a new girl...his high school sweetheart; with Dylan Walsh, Jonah Hill, Danny DeVito, and Melissa McCarthy.

7 pm: Running late, so no second walk on the treadmill. In the tub with 'WATERWORKS' and skimmed to the end of the book. It was interesting, but I just felt I hadda move on down the line. Listened to  ART BLAKELY/ MILES DAVIS  autopay.

Watched 'PUNK LIKE ME' (Amazon Prime). A rich guy 'pays'(?) to get his band booked on the Vans Warped Tour. They admitted that they were not a 'band', but it's not clear how they got on the tour in the first place. They repeat it like a mantra..."If you're over twenty five you're not qualified to have an opinion on the music", yet these guys are almost 40 and they're begging the crowd for a positive response. "Carne Asada"- A Mexican dish of grilled meat cut into thin strips and the name of their 'fake' band.  

And a little of 'THE DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS' (Pluto).

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
