Fr 4/22/22

805am (1). 1020am (1). 1215pm (1). 650pm (1). 830pm (1). 

Up 630am: Partly cloudy and breezy with temps to about 80.

Watched '35 SHOTS OF RUM' (Kanopy). An art film about a small group of people who are neighbors (but more like family) in a suburban Parisian apartment building. The character's relationships are not precisely set out, but are slowly revealed as the story progresses. The main characters: Dad is a commuter train engineer, his daughter works at Virgin Records as a clerk, the woman downstairs works as a cabbie, and her adult son is just waiting for his cat to die of old age; directed by Claire Denis- 2 wins & 16 nominations.

1150am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for an afternoon at Esporta and then over to the vitamin shop at Drawbridge for more pills. 

1225pm: To Esporta. 45" Cross.  45" Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30"Cross  and watched 'THE WATCH' (AMAZON PRIME). A silly comedy about a group of suburban guys who form a neighborhood watch group and inadvertently stumble upon an alien invasion; with Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, and Richard Ayoade. Biggest Takeaway:  Vince Vaughn seemed almost twice as tall as anyone in the cast.  Then finished KYLE  DUNNIGAN on THEO VON, and began DAN SODER on SKEPTIC TANK. 

***$55.00; Vitamins at Supplement Superstore and they gave me a bottle of water and a free tee shirt.

440pm: In the tub with 'THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY' and listening to TOMMY FLANAGAN; BETTY DAVIS; THE STOOGES. 

Watched Netflix disc 'RESISTANCE'. Based on Marcel Marceau's work in the French Resistance during WWII.  He and the group were responsible for saving the lives of thousands of Jewish children after the Nazi occupation of France. Klaus Barbie was 'The Butcher of Lyon' and the principle Nazi bad guy in the film and in real life.

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...
