Fr 9/8/23- Buddy Sick/ Cut Front Flowers

740am (2-B). 125pm (2-B). 615pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 630am: Partly sunny with temps to low 70's.

***When I got up I noticed that Buddy had thrown up in front of the bedroom door and on the tile in front of the front door. This was a big cleanup and seemed to take forever. Not the best activity fresh out of bed. He ate breakfast, kept it down and seemed just fine.

Watched 'ALL IS WELL' (Netflix).  A haunting and unembellished depiction of a young woman's life in contemporary Germany. Her partner wants to live in a rural area and rehab an old house. She takes a literary job in the city and has a 'sexual encounter' at her high school reunion. I'm not 100% sure if it was rape or not. 'No Means No', but what does 'Maybe' mean? She experiences one disastrous turn of events after another- including an abortion. The film ends as she is about to be confronted by the police for riding on a train without a ticket. I could have watched this downhearted drama for hours because the film offers a bleak yet compelling portrait of a woman overwhelmed by modernity. 13 wins & 10 nominations-'80' Metascore.

The film is set in Lower Bavaria which is one of the seven administrative regions of Bavaria, Germany. It's bordered on the northeast by Czechia and east is Austria. It includes the cities of Nuremberg and Munich, Germany.    

More of 'THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE' (Netflix). I finished the penultimate episode and after nine hours it's all starting to come together. There's seventy-one minutes left in this fantastic series and I don't know whether I'll knock it off tonight or wait until tomorrow. Mike Flanagan is the master of the 'screaming meemies'. 

1230pm: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to cut back the dying flowers along the front walk. I'll use the hedge trimmers, the clippers and maybe start the mower. I might tackle the hedge on the side of the house.  A walk and the weights later. 

1245pm- 110pm: I used the mower to cut down the dead flowers in front. It would have taken so much longer with the hedge clippers. I was done in 10 minutes. I trimmed the evergreen hedge on the side of the house. 

140pm- 3pm: To Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside, Walnut,  Wash.Pk southside, up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 20 MINUTES...MILES DAVIS Playlist;  BYRDS Playlist;  'SAVE OUR PARKS- J.R.E. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 13 reps; Dumbbells 

Began reading '

525pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT;  more LUIS J. GOMEZ on 'ARE YOU GARBAGE? X.

620pm: In the tub with 'IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE' and listening to ART BLAKEY & MAX ROACH; ROLLING STONES- 'Get Yer YaYa's On' Playlist. 

Finished 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?'  and began a THEO VON- Without A Guest

Last chapter of 'THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE' (Netflix). What a terrific series. I can't wait to hear what the reviewers on YouTube have to say.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
