 Su 1/9/22

905am. 1235pm. 730pm. 

Up 7am: Mostly sunny and breezy with temps to upper 20's.

Inordinate amount of time selecting a film...So many movies, so little time...

Watched 'THE HUMBLING' (Peacock TV). A venerated Broadway actor begins to lose his mind after becoming involved with a much younger woman. Was she really his daughter or was that part of his delusion? So much of the film was subjective that it's hard to know what actually happened and what was imagined. I liked it, yet I understand the mostly negative reviews; with Al Pacino, Greta Gerwig, Nina Arianda, Charles Grodin, Kyra Sedgwick, and Dianne Wiest.

1145am: PC is 'Off' and preparing to hit Planet Fitness and then Schnucks for Friskies, bread, and Bud Light. 

I did 'The Weekly Cleaning' before leaving for Planet Fitness. 

1250pm: To Planet Fitness. 45" Cross.  45" Treadmill.  30" Bike.  30" Treadmill.  30" Cross and watched 'SQUARE GROUPERS' (AMAZON PRIME)-  A documentary about the Weed Business in Florida during the 60's- 80's.  1) Coptic Christian Church of Jamaica;  2)Black Tuna Gang;  3) Everglades City,  FL., finished TIM DILLON/ JOE LIST/ARI SHAFFIR, and began a JOEY'S JOINT. 

$27: Stopped at Schnucks after the workout- Friskies, bread, Bud Light. Paid for an extra can at the self checkout because I entered a can twice. It wasn't worth fucking around for sixty cents. Fuck it.

620pm: In the tub with 'LONDON' and listening to FREDDY HUBBARD; 'Toy (Box)'- BOWIE. 
First on tonight's video adventure I watched nearly an entire podcast of  'Joey's Joint'. This was a current one and he sounds like he's losing his shit. He's going to drop the podcast and go to audio only? Then he seemed to snap out of it ..."Tip Top Magoo".

 Watched 'VENGEANCE: A LOVE STORY' (Plex-TV).  A woman is brutally gang raped and her twelve year old daughter is assaulted on the night of July 4th. The five creepy perps are well connected and their family has an 'in' with the judge. In the blue collar city of Niagara Falls rape in a public park would be bad for the tourist trade so a police detective delivers his own brand of vigilante justice; with Nicolas Cage, Anna Hutchison, Talitha Eliana Bateman, Deborah Kara Unger, and Don Johnson. Based on a novel 'RAPE: A LOVE STORY' by Joyce Carol Oates. Melodramatic and over-the-top, but still worth a look.

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...
