Fr 7/15/22

710am (2). 10am (1). 220pm (1). 425pm (1). 645pm (1).

Up 530am. Buddy was dry heaving trying to wake me up. I have to ask the vet what's up with the 'clear liquid' vomit when he's agitated? It happens only after a long period of no food.

Although I watered the flowers along the front walk, it began raining about 830am and will continue on and off through early afternoon. Temps to the upper 70's. 

Paid the card

Watched Netflix disc 'CRY MACHO'. A little corny and a lot sentimental, but still worth a look. An old cowhand owes a big debt to a very wealthy friend. The rich man wants the cowboy to go to Mexico City and find his 13 year old son and bring him back to Texas. At first it seems like a good thing, but later he learns that the man only wants the boy to use as a bargaining chip in a bitter custody battle with his ex wife. The old man and the boy share in a host of fanciful and charming adventures. Probably a big hit at the 'COMMON SENSE' movie website; with Clint Eastwood, Dwight Yoakum, and a mostly Mexican cast. Filmed in Belen and Polvadera, New Mexico (70 miles south of Albuquerque) although the film is set in Mexico.

Watched 'CAPTIVE BETHLEHEM SIEGE, PALESTINE' (Netflix). In 2002 Palestinian soldiers claim 'sanctuary' for forty days in a Christian church in Bethlehem. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. No new ground broken...

1115am: PC is 'Off' and because it's supposed to rain till about 1pm. I will do three miles on the treadmill and walk later to mail back the disc. 

1130am:  THREE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and finished a THEO VON podcast  

Weights/  12 reps.

Reading 'A LIFE ON THE WILD SIDE' by Bettina Drew. 

225pm:  Mail back disc; out & back Edwards...TASTE; listened to 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK podcast (Mark Norman and friends)...ONE HOUR AND 45 MINUTES. 

430pm: In the tub with NELSON ALGREN bio and listening to STAN WEBB & CHICKEN SHACK; THE ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO.

Because Plex TV recommended  'SOUL POWER' (Plex) I wanted to see it but later learned that it was '$'.  I need to go back and delete all of my 'faves' that require a fee.

*** Wasted time and then settled on  'GIRL IN THE PICTURE' (Netflix). A long and confusing 'true crime' about a man who kidnapped children and married one of them. His high school age wife went to a local school and was quite popular. Her friends were aghast! I just couldn't get into the film, and maybe I'm just too tired.

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...
