 We 9/14/22


720am (B). 950am (2-B). 1210pm (B). 450pm (2- gr/wh). 635pm (B). 

Up 530am: Bright and sunny with temps to about 82.

***I wrote up 'THE CITY' by Dean Koontz for the blog, paid the card, and ran the Windows Updates. The upstairs PC wanted me to sign into Windows Microsoft and I checked 'maybe later'. 

Steve Coleman is the alto sax player that did SYNOVIAL JOINTS. Put more of his stuff on Amazon Music. 

Watched 'HAND ROLLED CIGARETTE' (Netflix). A British-Chinese ex-serviceman turns 'hoodlum/loser' and becomes involved with a 'brownie' (Indian) and they enter a war with local gang bosses. Dizzying plot that involves pounds of cocaine and turtle smuggling (?) with over-the-top scenes of violence. However, the saving grace was that the film had a convincing 'Noir' tone- Well worth a look.  Directed by Kin Long Chan. 

Watched more of 'METALLICA: SOME KIND OF MONSTER' (Netflix). The movie is followed by a 30 minute review and a teaser for their next film, 'THROUGH THE NEVER'. I just learned that this film is also on Netflix and it's in the queue. After finally completing 'Some Kind of Monster', I think I like the documentary a whole lot more. Losing the bass player , having the lead musician leave the band for rehab, and recording the process on film with an 'in house' therapist now seems like a fantastic idea for a film. I'm still not a real fan of the music, but the doc was well worth a look. 

1125am: PC is 'Off' and preparing to take the bike to Esporta.  

1220pm: On bike to Esporta. 45"Cross Precor.  45"Treadmill. 30"Bike.  30"Cross.  30" Cross Precor and watched an episode of ' I SURVIVED A CRIME' (NETFLIX) ; 'THE SINS OF OUR MOTHER' (NETFLIX) ; more DR. GABOR MATE on J.R.E. 

***green hoodie (m) arrived. Look Sharp!

450pm: In the tub with 'FALSE MEMORY' and listening to STEVE COLEMAN & FIVE ELEMENTS.

Watched 'WHITEY: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. JAMES J. BULGER (AMAZON PRIME). Bulger was definitely a violent crime boss that ran the biggest criminal enterprise in Boston, but was he protected by the FBI because he was buying off agents or was he in the employ of the agency as a confidential informant?  There is evidence to support both sides of the argument.  Jack Nicholson's  character in 'THE DEPARTED' was based on Whitey Bulger.

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...
