Mo 1/17/22

***Lost most of the notes trying to copy for the log. Do Not Do This Again. Always send an email to myself so that nothing is lost.

(Approx.) 820am. 12pm (a pinch). 820pm. 

 Up 615am: Mostly cloudy with temps to about 32. We got about a half inch of powdery snow last night. The streets and lawns are all covered.

Watched 'JUST GO WITH IT' (Netflix).  A plastic surgeon pretends to be married and divorced. His assistant/secretary pretends to be his ex so that the doc can have an affair (get married?) to a much younger woman. A silly premise and not a very good Adam Sandler film. He's best as the nerdy, needy guy that is full of repressed rage; with Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker, Nicole Kidman, Nick Swardson, Rachel Dratch, Dave Matthews (THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND).  Based on a French play and music by STING (THE POLICE).

1210pm: FIVE MILES AT 3.7 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and watched an hour documentary 'THE SECRET LIFE OF A CRUISE' (AMAZON PRIME) and more of JESSA REED on SKEPTIC TANK. 

Set of weights 

Read 'LONDON' on the couch and listened to 'silence'. 

455pm: TWO MILES AT 3.7 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and more of SHAFFIR, NORMAND,  and GILLIS on J.R.E. 

545pm: In the tub with 'LONDON' and listening to HARVEY MANDEL. CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE. 

I finished 'GRAND ISLE' (Plex-TV). The plot is not believable in the slightest, but it works if you don't take it too seriously. Filmed in Jackson, Louisiana. And then began  'MY NAME WAS BETTE: The Life and Death of an Alcoholic' (Amazon Prime). A clinical look at how alcoholic women differ from men; Ex. 9 out of 10 married women stay with an alcoholic man, but 9 out of ten men will leave an alcoholic spouse. And, the film profiles a woman from a religious, small town background in rural Massachusetts who died of the disease.

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...
