 Sa 9/24/22

725am (B). 10am (1-SB). 12pm (B). 435pm (2-SB). 630pm (B). 

Up 550am: Bright and sunny with temps to the upper 70's.

Watched 'BEYOND' (Hoopla). A happily married Swedish woman with two young daughters learns that her mother is dying and wants to see her. Her mother and father were uncaring alcoholics and she had completely cut ties with them because of drunken excesses and physical abuse.  The story is told in flashbacks and is a very scary depiction of one of the worst cases of family abuse I've ever seen on film; with Noomi Rapace. 

Then, 'A COPS AND ROBBERS STORY' (Kanopy). As a young man he was a drug dealer and thug, but he turned over a new leaf and joined the New York police and ascended to the rank of commanding officer. During his 21 years career with the police he never spoke of his past, but when he 'told all' on a podcast, the police turned against him. Was he turning a blind eye when his thug friends broke the law? Once a thug, always a thug. I think if there were more cops like him, things might be a bit better in the high crime areas. It takes one to know one.

1125am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for an afternoon at Planet Fitness.

1210pm: To Planet Fitness. 45"Cross.  45"Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30"Cross and watched the first episode of 'DAHMER' (NETFLIX), finished BERTCAST with MARK NORMAND,  began NICK SWARDSON on WHISKEY GINGER.

To the gas station up the hill for a 24 pack of Bud Light.

435pm:  In the tub with 'FALSE MEMORY' and listening to THE MELVINS Playlist. 

Began 'I USED TO BE FAMOUS' (Netflix). An ex-Boy Band star from Peckham, England  tries to stop street busking and get back into the world of professional music. He meets an  autistic drummer and the two make some fine music, but the boy's mother is far too over-protective. The film is a little bit corny yet heartfelt acting makes it worth a look.

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...
