 Fr 9/23/22- Buddy Sick/ Phone Update


710am (B). 1135am (1-SB). 145pm (1-SB). 345pm (1-SB). 435pm (1-SB). 640pm (B). 

Up 545am: A cool day with temps only in the upper 50's and showers beginning early this afternoon and extending through this evening. 

***Buddy was sick after his first feeding (6am), but he seemed ok. Maybe only a hairball and he was busy looking out the front window in no time. By 8am he seemed back to normal and I opened a new can at 815am but he threw up at 830am. 

Watched the Netflix disc 'DRIVE MY CAR'. I still don't know why the director in the film chose to have the characters speak in different languages in his adaptation of 'UNCLE VANYA'. I watched a couple of YouTube videos about the film and YT reviewers agreed that this was a rich and dense film with many layers and interpretations, but not for everyone. My takeaway: "Humans are sly creatures who have numerous subtle ways of communicating which can include storytelling. The teller of a tale can reveal much about himself during the telling of the story". Directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi. Won 1 Oscar; 79 wins & 91 nominations  

***The DVD player worked flawlessly and the screen saver didn't engage while the disc played.

10am: I gave Buddy another serving and it's still in him at 11am. 130pm: he seems back to normal and eager for his bent blue dish.

I finished the next chapter of 'HEIST' (Netflix). In Miami a group of cousins and brothers steal over 7 million in cash from a loading dock. There were a couple of hundred million in bags but they couldn't carry any more than 7 million. The ringleader only wanted $30,000 so that he and his wife could adopt a baby. Nobody would believe it, but it happened. No security cameras in the warehouse and the guards were all unarmed. 

1110am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. I don't want to leave until I know Buddy is out of the woods and holding down his food. The disc is on the mailbox at 940 and I'll hit Planet Fitness tomorrow.  

1140am:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and almost finished 'HEIST' (NETFLIX) - Pappy Van Winkle bourbon liquor theft.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps 

***120pm- 135pm: Big phone update yet installation was a breeze.  No difference in performance,  but it loaded a new wallpaper style which I removed immediately..."End World Hunger" ?!?!

Reading 'FALSE MEMORY'

345pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT, finished 'HEIST' (NETFLIX) - Pappy Van Winkle bourbon, and began TONY HINCHCLIFFE & KIM HAUN on J.R.E. 

440pm:  In the tub with 'FALSE MEMORY' and listening to 'Beck-Ola'- JEFF BECK; JEFF BECK GROUP.

***When I opened the downstairs PC I ran the Xfinity Speed Test and it scored '148'. A couple of days ago it was only in the mid 40's. Results May Differ.  

Watched 'TRAFFIK' (Tubi-tv).  A couple enjoy a romantic weekend at a beautiful vacation home in northern California and run a foul of a biker gang, a crooked sherrif, and an international prostitution ring. More silly than harrowing and not even slightly believable. Nice end credits: tractor trailers upside down from the sky. Maybe the best thing in the entire film.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

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...
