 Su 9/12/21

905am. 1110am (a pinch). 310 (a pinch). 930pm (a pinch).

Up 740am: Bright and sunny with temps to 90.

Spent a while checking what's on Tubi and various other streaming services.

Watched 'THE WOMEN AND THE MURDERER' (Netflix). The biggest takeaway is that France did not have a national DNA database until 1998. In the US we think it is obvious, but in France many felt that it was 'government overreach'.  The crux of the defense seemed to be that since Guy Georges was not a 'monster', he couldn't be guilty. Wouldn't this be laughed out of an American court? 

Watched the last episode of 'THE FROZEN DEAD' (Netflix). The story was far too confusing and the ending was less than satisfying. The best part of the series was the location- Late winter and early spring in The French Pyrenees.

I began the first two episodes of 'THE CHAIR' (Netflix) and I will continue at Planet Fitness later this afternoon.  It's very funny and smart.

130pm: PC is 'Off' and will read for a bit and hit Planet Fitness later. 

Weekly Cleaning 

330pm: 45" Cross.  45' Treadmill.  30" Bike.  30" Treadmill.  30" Cross.  Binge-watched and finished all 6 episodes of season 1, 'THE CHAIR ' (NETFLIX). Then another 'ATYPICAL ' (NETFLIX), then I finished 'JACK BRUCE: THE MAN BEHIND THE BASS' (YOUTUBE), and began a 'WHISKEY GINGER '. 

Up the hill to Dollar General- Cheerios and Cheese Its. 

715pm: In the tub with MCCARTHY and listening to THE HEARTLESS BASTARDS, then 'RID OF ME' and 'DRY'- PJ HARVEY.

Watched 'LOOKING FOR LENNY' (Amazon Prime- 60")..."Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God"- Lenny Bruce. Odd, but interesting: They brought in Don Imus's case about the 'nappy hoes'. I don't think that I had ever heard the whole conversation. It sounds like the guys in Imus's crew tried to draw what he was saying into something Spike Lee was doing in one of his films; 'Nappy' vs. 'Preppy' in a Lee film. Most of the hour doc was about the state of 90's (it's an old doc) Comedy and less about Lenny Bruce.

Then wasted a good amount of time watching Reddit Videos. Hypnotic!

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...
