Su 1/23/22
810am. 110pm. 750pm. 

Up 630am: Partly cloudy, windy and temps to mid 30's and it feels colder.

Watched 'PHANTOM THREAD' (Netflix). A powerful drama directed by Paul Thomas Anderson that concerns a couturier who runs The House of Woodcock. It's a family business and he and his sister are responsible for high-end fashion that is handmade from start to finish. He's a complete narcissistic yet he's not altogether wrong because in his industry, he is number one. After he meets a strong-willed and affectionate woman that he loves, his stultified world begins to change. It rated a '90' on IMDB Metascore and I really liked the film;  Vicky Krieps, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Lesley Manville. Won 1 Oscar, 57 wins & 124 nominations.

Began episode #2 of season 4 'OZARK' (Netflix).

1220pm: PC is 'Off' and will do the Weekly Cleaning, Planet Fitness, and then to Schnucks for cat food, Bud Light, and flakes. 

125pm: To Planet Fitness. 45" Cross.  45" Treadmill.  30" Bike.  30" Treadmill.  30" Cross and watched more of 'OZARK', watched DUNCAN TRUSSEL on DR. DREW, and PAULY SHORE on SKEPTIC TANK. 

Schnucks ($28) and in the tub by 550pm and reading 'RABBIT IS RICH' and listening to CHARLIE MUSSLEWHITE; LED ZEPPELIN. 

Watched 'AILEEN WUORNOS: American Boogeywoman' (Netflix). America's foremost female serial killer is on death row and tells a reporter of her brief marriage to an elderly millionaire. Although the tale is wild and colorful, it is untrue and probably due to Aileen's  fairly obvious mental unbalance. A  fairly decent 'B-Movie' nonetheless; with Peyton List, Tobin Bell, Lydia Hearst, and Andrew Biernat.  

Watched about 15" of the first episode of 'NEWTON'S CRADLE' (Netflix).    Filmed in Egypt.

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...
