 Th 8/11/22- Mowed the lawn

655am (B). 845am (2-B). 1035am (B). 310pm (2- B). 420pm (2- gr/wh). 615pm (B). 

Up 510am: Partly sunny, humid and temps to low 80's.

***When I took out the trash at dawn I grabbed my saw and finished cutting branches that were on my side of the fence. They can dispose. 

Learned that the weed I'm smoking ("Bubba Fett") is a 'mild' Indica known for calming and sedating effects; 16% THC. I'll just have to smoke more and remember that my taste leans more toward Sativa. I wonder what a more potent THC Indica would be like?  

Watched 'CARTER' (Netflix). The plotline is more dizzying than complicated, but part of it involves a coalition between the North and South Koreans against the CIA. And there are zombies! However, there are some of the best CGI effects that I've ever seen in a movie. The opening 'big scene' involves a few hundred naked men in a spa and they're all armed with knives, hatchets, scimitars, daggers, machetes and they are fighting ONE man. A memorable scene is when the hero forces a villain's head to the pavement from the side of a speeding minivan. Although, during all of these sequences it was more like watching a video game, but still very compelling. 

***They mowed the lawn of the house next to me in about fifteen minutes. Those guys attack like a hoard of locusts.

1010am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to go for a long walk and then maybe mow the lawn later this afternoon. No rush since I mowed (all but part of the back lawn) last Thursday.  

***I ran the Windows Updates and it seemed to go wrong because it took so long. I hope things go OK when I try to run the updates downstairs tonight. Why am I the only one who has so much trouble with this fucking Windows foolishness? 

1045am: Parkview, Wash.Pk northside, Walnut, Leland, Lincoln, Outer Park, Wiggins, Wash.Pk southside, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...TWO HOURS...THEM; J.R.E- 2 English conservative talk jocks.

215pm-3pm: Mowed the (entire) lawn.

315pm: Reading 'THE STAR SPANGLED CRUNCH' by Richard Condon (finished about half of the novella) then switched to 'JACK & JILL' by James Patterson. 

420pm: In the tub with 'JACK & JILL' and listening to 'Pink Flag'- WIRE; 'Singles Going Steady'- THE BUZZCOCKS.

Watched 'CEDAR RAPIDS' (Amazon Prime). A nerdy insurance salesman attends the yearly convention and takes a walk on the wild side in sinful Cedar Rapids. He indulges in drugs and alcohol for the first time, falls in love with a prostitute, and all of this hilarious confusion leads to positive change. A gross movie with a particularly sweet message; with ; Ed Helms, John C. Reilly, Anne Heche, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Kurtwood Smith.

Some more of 'DELHI CRIME' (Netflix). Very well done and a look at how Indians handle crime- it seems that most suspects are physically struck, lied to, and intimidated by the police; angry cops throw their shoes at suspects who have incurred their wrath.

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...
