Th 11/2/23- Flu/ Covid Shots: Walgreens

 Th 11/2/23- Flu/ Covid Shots: Walgreens 

705am (2-B). 810am (1-SB). 12pm (2-). 545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 535am: Bright & sunny with temps to upper 50's.

I wrote up 'SHAME THE DEVIL' by George Pelecanos for the blog.

Watched 'INHERENT VICE' (Kanopy). Relentlessly puzzling and the script develops into almost a parody of Film Noir, yet never becomes less than sharp and hysterical; with Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Katherine Waterston, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio del Toro, Jena Malone, Martin Short, Eric Roberts, and Martin Donovan. Nominated for 2 Oscars; 15 wins & 98 nominations. "81" Metascore..."Family is like a gang. Once you're in, you're in for life"... "No, that is not a swastika. It's an ancient Hindu symbol meaning, 'all is well'.  

More of 'NOTRE DAME' (Netflix). 'sapeurs pompiers'{on the side of the Parisian fire trucks}- means 'firefighters' or 'fire department'. I shut it down 24 minutes into episode # 5 and I should be able to finish the series later. 

1140am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the treadmill & weights. Maybe later this afternoon I'll walk over to Walgreens for a flu shot.

1205pm: FIVE MILES AT [4.0] PACE AND ZERO SLANT; 

watched an episode of 'CAPTIVE: AL Qaeda Hostages' (Netflix)- A South African couple are held for ransom in Yemen. The man is killed & the wife is released;  began JOE LIST on The Virzi Effect; more BRIAN REDBAN on J.R.E. 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps

***Made an appointment at Walgreens for flu & Covid booster at 4pm today. 

Reading 'SLEEPLESS'

340pm- 455pm: Walked to Walgreens & took a long way back. In the store for about 10 minutes. 

***Called pharmacy to refill Tamsulosin- only one left.

550pm: In the tub with 'SLEEPLESS' and listening to ALLMAN BROTHERS- 'Fox Box'; ROLLING STONES- 'Sticky Fingers' Live.

I finished 'NOTRE DAME' (Netflix). By the end of the series I realized that it was actually corny as hell, but I liked it anyway. The fire fighting scenes were visually exciting, but not to be believed for a second. I wonder what Jamie would think of the technical aspects of this film? 

More of JOE LIST on The Virzi Effect.

Began 'THE NURSE' (Netflix). Filmed in Nykobing Falster, Denmark and the story is set in Lolland Falster, Denmark and the main character is from Odense. I shut it down eight minutes into episode #2. The 'bad' nurse has not yet been revealed.

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).
