 Su 7/10/22

710am (2).1145am (1). 345pm (1). 655pm (1). 

Up 520am: Bright and sunny with temps to mid 80's.

Check 'Notepad' instead of 'Sticky Notes' on the downstairs PC. I put Friday and Saturday's notes into the blog.

Watched Netflix disc 'BLUE BAYOU'. A young Korean man faces deportation after a minor brush with the law. He had been living in the United States for over thirty years and was married and starting a family. Because valid paperwork was not filed by his adoptive parents, he could be sent back to Korea after over three decades of living in the states. Subtext: If you were adopted overseas by American parents and raised in America you still might not be a US citizen. The movie walked the fine line between authenticity and melodrama, but I really liked it; with Justin Chon (writer, director), Alicia Vikander (EX MACHINA), Mark O'Brien, and Vondie Curtis-Hall.

11-1130am: Weekly Cleaning 

12pm: Downtown to mail back disc and send gift card. Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside,  Lincoln, Governor, Monroe PO, Edwards, Fairway, and up to  940...ONE HOUR AND 50 MINS...LOWELL GEORGE solo record; 'Electric Ladyland' - HENDRIX; 'Highway 61 Revisited' - DYLAN.

Reading the bio of NELSON ALGREN. 

350pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and finished NICK SWARDSON on THEO VON,  and more of BRIAN REDBAN on J.R.E 

440pm: In the tub with NELSON ALGREN  bio and listening to HUMBLE PIE.

Watched 'STATEN ISLAND' (Amazon Prime). A married septic tank cleaner, a deaf butcher, and an ambitious mafia boss cross paths and mayhem results. Not bad, but a little too arty; with Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Seymour Cassel, and Julianne Nicholson. Filmed in Alpine and Fair Lawn, New Jersey and Staten Island, New York.

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...

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...
