We 10/4/23

730am (2-B). 845am (1-SB). 1215pm (1-SB). 140pm (1-B). 550pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 610am: Cloudy with temps to the mid 70's and rain is predicted for tonight through tomorrow afternoon.

***Shaved my long mustache. Why? Because it was there.

Watched 'REPTILE' (Netflix). A sultry realtor is murdered while showing a home and there are no shortage of suspects. She was about to go to the feds about police corruption within the department and dirty detectives had her stabbed to death. The bent cops were using her husband's realty company to launder money they made selling heroin stolen from the police evidence room; with Benicio Del Toro, Justin Timberlake, Eric Bogosian, Alicia Silverstone, Domenick Lombardozzi (THE WIRE), and Michael Pitt. I thought this was a fresh take on the Police Thriller genre and I would have rated it much higher- "53" Metascore. Filmed in and around Atlanta, Georgia. 

I watched a YouTube video about the film. 

Finished 'THURSDAY'S WIDOWS' (Netflix). I thought that there would be a surprise ending, but it was simply a suicide pact by some of the men and that was where the film was always headed.  I'll bet that the novel is intricate and insightful and the film was a decent attempt to convey this complexity. 

Began 'THE INNOCENT' (Netflix). I had seen episode #1 sometime in the past, but I remembered nada and I'm surprised I didn't continue with it. Based on a novel written by Harlan Coben set in New York, New Jersey and Nevada. The series is set in Spain and Barcelona is the main location.

115pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the treadmill. 

140pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; TUESDAYS WITH STORIES; more of DAN SODER on BERTCAST  

Weights:  3 sets/  15 reps

Reading 'THE COLOR OF LIGHT'

455pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of DAN SODER on BERTCAST. 

555pm:  In the tub with 'THE COLOR OF LIGHT' and listening to GARY MOORE- The Montreux Collection'/ 'Blues For Greeny'; BUDDY MILES Playlist; BONNIE RAITT- 'Road Tested'.

More 'THE INNOCENT' (Netflix). I shut it down 20 minutes into episode #3. Episode #2 did not connect to the first episode until the final scene. I was wondering if the series had turned into an anthology of short pieces by Harlan Coben. The mystery is really cooking and this might be the best Harlan Coben that I've seen. I know he's got some good adaptations in French.

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...
