Th 9/23/21

 Th 9/23/21

935am. 1220pm (a pinch). 3pm. 920pm. 

Up 710am: Bright and sunny with temps to just over 70.

I noticed another 'noise' when I booted up the living room PC. I had left 'Goats Head Soup' in the player and the computer was trying to play the disc. Everything is fine.

I wrote up 'RAIN DOGS' by Sean Doolittle for the blog. 

Watched 'KILL THE IRISHMAN' (Xfinity). A hyper-melodramatic account of the Cleveland mobster, Daniel Greene.  True Fact: 36 bombs exploded in Cleveland during the summer of 1976 in Danny Greene's war with the Italian mafia. A great subject for a film, but this was a little too over-the-top. The dialog was almost a parody of a gangster movie, but still worth a look. 

Then I watched episode 2 of 'MONSTERS INSIDE: The 24 Faces of Billy Mulligan' (Netflix). Legally I think it would work better if competency was never an issue. If evidence proves you did it, you are sentenced.  Extenuating circumstances such as abusive childhood, mental illness, or addictions would come into play at the sentencing. 

145pm: PC is 'Off' and will drive to Walgreens and find out about flu shot and Covid booster. Then home for 'a pinch' and off to Planet Fitness. 

210pm-250pm: To Walgreens for flu shot. An odd discussion about 'third shot' or the 'booster'. When the shot becomes 'Okayed' by the feds, Walgreens will  begin inoculations. 

310pm: To Planet Fitness.  45" Cross.  Feeling weak or tired. Flu shot? 15" Treadmill. 30" Recumbent Bike. 30" Treadmill at 3.0 pace. 30"Bike. 30" Cross. Finished 'MONSTERS INSIDE ' (NETFLIX), JOEY DIAZ podcast,  an episode of 'ATYPICAL ' (NETFLIX).

7pm: In the tub with PYNCHON and listening to WOLF PARADE, ZAPPA- 'Apostrophe ', and various podcasts. 

Watched episode 1 of 'CRIME STORIES: India Detectives' (Netflix). A woman in Bengaluru, India (The Silicon Valley of India) kills her mother and attempts to kill her brother because she wanted to commit suicide, but she felt it would be more humane to kill them rather than have them experience the humiliation of her own suicide. Odd, yet seemed believable to the Indian authorities, I guess.  The series will be well worth a binge!

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...
