 Fr 11/3/23

655am (2-B). 825am (1-SB). 955am (1-B). 1240pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: A mix of sun & clouds, breezy and temps to lower 60's.  

I called Brewer and made an appointment for Buddy on Friday, 11/24/23 at 830am; Booster/ Wellness.

I called Dr. Ellison's office to let them know that I need the prescription filled today. They said they would 'expedite'. 

Watched 'PAIN HUSTLERS' (Netflix). It's a fictional account of how a small drug company developed a radical and aggressive marketing strategy to sell cancer pain medication to patients who didn't need it. This a rather half-baked synopsis as to how the opioid crisis came about, but don't alcohol companies do the same thing? They market a dangerous and addictive drug to people who really don't need it;  with Emily Blunt (also the executive producer), Chris Evans, Catherine O'Hara, Andy Garcia, and Jay Duplass. Filmed in Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia and Central Florida. "44" Metascore.

From Variety:

"Pain Hustlers takes an off-putting mock-documentary approach to this tragedy, focusing on a handful of sleazebag salespeople who bent the rules to incentivize doctors to prescribe Lonafin (the film’s fictional Subsys substitute) first for treating cancer pain, and later for conditions as mild as migraines.". ... "Money is dignity"...PHD- 'Poor, Hungry, Dumb'..."You sell what's in your bag"...

More 'THE NURSE' (Netflix). Link to the actual case in Denmark: It's getting late so I'll watch the last twenty minutes of this tonight.

1210pm: PC is 'Off' and plan is to walk Washington Park and then pick up the Tamsulosin. 

1250pm- 235pm: Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Lincoln,  Monroe...picked up Tamsulosin & waited 10 minutes while they 'pulled it', Washington, behind McD's,  across Monroe,  Fairway,  Kenyon,  and down to 940; ALLMAN BROTHERS Live; KINKS Live. 

Reading 'SLEEPLESS'

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of DAN SODER on RICK GLASSMAN. 

545pm: In the tub with 'SLEEPLESS' and listening to DAVID BOWIE-Ziggy Stardust Live'; LED ZEPPELIN- 'How The West Was Won'.

Finished 'THE NURSE' (Netflix). They didn't really try to give the 'bad' nurse any reason for the killings aside from the fact that she was addicted to the 'rush' of trying to save a life and enjoying the positive feedback from her colleagues. Maybe that's all some people need. 

Began 'SANTO' (Netflix). Santo is an international drug smuggler (Spain/ Brazil) and engages in blood sacrifices to the god Utuk. Lurid and over-the-top, so I'm in.

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...

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...
