Sa 9/25/21- Buddy Sick/ Trimmed Hedge

Sa 9/25/21
925am. 1135am (a pinch). 330pm (a pinch). 920pm. 

Up 730am: A trace of fog early to mostly sunny with temps only to low 70's.

Watched 'RIDESHARE' (Hoopla- I borrowed this title yesterday). This is a strange little film that offers some thought provoking ideas about America's infatuation with social media.  A creepy and hulking rideshare driver goes on a late night killing spree in contemporary Los Angeles. In the final scene we learn that the killer has created an elaborate ruse to frame his older brother for the murders. The film was shot with a 'Red Dragon Camera' and I watched part of a video about this piece of  state-of-the-art equipment. 

***1140am: Buddy threw up everything that he'd eaten today. I noticed that he threw up a hairball early this morning. Around 1215pm I gave him more to eat and he's kept it down, but he's been pretty sedated all day. 

Watched episode 1 of 'JAILBIRDS OF NEW ORLEANS' (Netflix).  A documentary about the poor and the deranged who are housed and abused in Louisiana. The prison commissary is online and snacks are ordered from kiosks within the prison and somebody's making a hell of a profit off of these unfortunates. The criminal justice system does nothing positive for the prisoners and the profit motive is a major incentive to keep this barbaric charade in place. 

Watched the final episode of 'CRIME STORIES: India Detectives' (Netflix). A couple with six kids (and another on the way) live on the streets of Bangalore and a man steals one of her babies. Authorities never locate the kid, but they did find the man that took the child. He wouldn't reveal who he was working for or where the baby was. Apparently it's OK for Indian police to beat suspects.

2pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing to walk and pick up more tall plastic bags for the litter box. 

235pm: Wash.Pk. southside, Bates, Outer Park, Park north,  Woodland, Walnut, Governor west to Feldkamp, Monroe  west to Fairhills/ County Market (cat food, tall kitchen bags, baby powder), Chatham, Fairway and up to 940...2 HOUR AND 10 MINS.

Read 'RABBIT RUN' on the couch. 

6pm-630pm: Trimmed the evergreen hedge on the side of the house and cut off a tree that was growing in the fence in the back (pool people's yard).

645pm: In the tub with UPDIKE and listening to THE HEARTLESS BASTARDS' and various podcasts. 

Watched 'CIRCUMSTANCES' (Amazon Prime). Another fairly decent Independent that's worth a look.  "When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose". The film shows how reasonable black men might become pimps and evolve into players in the sex trade industry. Filmed in Milwaukee and New Orleans.

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...
