 Su 9/5/21

9am. 1050am (a pinch). 315pm. 955pm. 

Up 710am: Bright and sunny with temps to about 80.

Watched the rest of Netflix disc 2 'JOHN ADAMS'. It certainly dispels the notion that the founding fathers were all in agreement..."The Gangrene of Factions"... Many in the senate did not even feel that the president should be allowed to select his own cabinet. 

Watched 'LORELEI' (Hoopla). A gritty tale of the relationship between a recently released biker/ex-con and a hotel maid with three kids (by three different men). Not exactly believable, but a storyline that was truly somewhat original; with Jena Malone and Pablo Schreiber (ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK). 

130pm: PC is 'Off' and will walk over to the Walgreens PO box to drop the disc and clear my head. Then, it's the Weekly Cleaning and on to Planet Fitness.    

325pm: To Planet Fitness...45" Cross.  45" Treadmill.  30" Bike.  30" Treadmill.  30"Cross.  Watched 'ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI' (AMAZON PRIME). I thought that when I was watching the film that it was based on a true story. No! It's fiction and based on a play. On the night that Cassius Clay beats Sonny Liston, four black leaders meet in a Miami hotel room; Clay, Sam Cooke, Malcolm X, and Jim Brown. They talk about Race, Money, Class, and The American System, but the discussion is strictly 'TV Movie' dialogue.  Then I finished a SARAH SILVERMAN podcast and began a  '2 Bears, 1 Cave- SEGURA/ KREISCHER.

Because of the time, I'll hit County Market tomorrow morning. 

720pm: In the tub to start 'MIDNIGHT ' by DEAN KOONTZ and listening to SONNY ROLLINS. 

Attempting to watch the rest of 'INHERENT VICE' (Kanopy). Problems with Kanopy and I really should call the library to find out if other people are having trouble with Kanopy. Tonight I only required one reboot. Maybe not as many people are using Kanopy late at night? 

***I ordered a copy of 'INHERENT VICE' by Thomas Pynchon from Amazon: $2.50, but still free to me...credit card points/rebates?  Super complicated Noir, but some nice 'bits' and a star-studded cast; with Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Eric Roberts, Benicio Del Toro, Jena Malone, Reese Witherspoon, and Martin Short. I am looking forward to reading the novel.

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...
