 Fr 10/6/23

740am (2-B). 840am (1-SB). 1250pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 615am: Mostly cloudy & breezy with temps to low 60's. First time this season for a jacket on the walk. 

Watched 'FILIP' (Netflix). WOW!!! I can't believe there was only one review of this film on IMDB. This was the most powerful piece of cinema I've seen in quite a while. In 1943 a young Polish Jew from the Warsaw ghetto acquired papers identifying himself as a foreign worker from France. He becomes a respected waiter in a ritzy hotel in Nazi held Frankfort. Although desperate to survive,  he's notorious for having sex with all the pretty women, even German women and this particular peccadillo carries a death sentence. A most unusual character study and I loved this film! Directed by Michal Kwiecinski and stars Eryk Kulm. Filmed in Poland. 3 wins and 1 nomination.

More 'THE MACHINE' (Netflix). If I was not somewhat of a fan of his podcast and his proximity to Rogan, I would have never watched this one; with Bert Kreischer & Mark Hamill from 'STAR WARS' as Bert's dad. The film is not very funny with only a few decent bits and probably deserves the rating: "37" Metascore. 

1210pm: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do weights and then walk Washington Park. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

1pm: To Washington Park...Parkview, Wash.Pk southside,  Walnut,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the road,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 20 MINUTES...SPOOKY TOOTH- 'Best of'; more of JOE LIST on J.R.E. 

Reading and finished 'THE COLOR OF LIGHT' by WILLIAM GOLDMAN and began 'THE STORY OF ARTHUR TRULUV' by ELIZABETH BERG. 

455pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished DAN SODER on TIM DILLON; began a TIGER BELLY. 

550pm:  In the tub with "ARTHUR TRULUV and listening to JOHN MAYALL 1966- 1971; WISHBONE ASH- 'ARGUS'; FACES- 'A Nod...'.

More of STEPH TOLEV on Tiger Belly.

More 'THE INNOCENT' (Netflix). I shut it down 16 minutes into episode #6. Too many moving parts...

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...
