 Th 11/9/23- Buddy Sick/ Raked Lawn

745am (2-B).  930am (1-SB). 1215pm (1-B). 255pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: A mix of sun & clouds with temps to the upper 50's.

*** Buddy threw up his 4am snack in the living room and kitchen. He seems fine this morning and his appetite is in high gear. 

I wrote up 'SLEEPLESS' by Romy Hausmann and 'SLEEP NO MORE' by Greg Iles for the blog.

Watched 'LOCKED IN' (Netflix). An unprincipled doctor simultaneously has an affair with an heiress and her mother-in-law in the family mansion. He cares nothing for either of them and he's only after the money. However, the 'big picture' is not revealed until very late in the tale. Dizzying and shifting perspectives, flashbacks, and histrionic flourishes make for a slightly better than average presentation. 

Finished ''THE BILLIONAIRE, THE BUTLER AND THE BOYFRIEND' (Netflix). The daughter (and her legal team!) fended off all other claims and now she is the world's richest woman. I wonder how they figure 'the world's richest people'? I'll bet there are richer women in Saudi Arabia and foreign nobility.  What was the last Queen of England worth?

Watched part of a drumming video with Tommy Aldridge- drummer Black Oak Arkansas/ Ozzy Osbourne. 

***Noon: 'RAKE RANT': Not a cloud in the sky and no wind, so I guess it's time to tackle the raking, but it's really more about putting leaves in sausage shaped bags that are prone to tear apart. 'Bagging' is the most difficult & frustrating part of the operation. And then the fragile bags are left out in the street through all kinds of weather. 

1220pm- 220pm: Eight leaf bags on the street near the fire hydrant and not nearly as irritating as I thought, but close.   

305pm- 435pm: Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Leland,  Dial Court, Douglas,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940; ELVIS COSTELLO- 'Imperial Bedroom'; PETE TOWNSHEND- 'The Empty Glass'; a journalist on J.R.E. 

***Buddy was sick on the living room chair in the corner. He seems fine, but I had hoped we were done with this.  

Began 'THE BLACK BOOK by Ian RANKIN 

550pm: In the tub with 'THE BLACK BOOK' and listening to TOM PETTY & The Heartbreakers; BOB MARLY- 'Catch Fire'; BUNNY WAILER- 'Blackheart Man'; SPENCER DAVIS GROUP- 2nd album.

Began JOEY DIAZ on 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?'.

Watched a short interview with Bunny Wailer on the BBC

Began 'FERRY: The Series' (Netflix). Finished episode #1. This is season 2 but Netflix has the movie but not season 1. Ferry Bouman is an overweight Dutch criminal that deals Ecstasy and flounders in professional and personal problems. This is the Dutch 'Breaking Bad'- I'll bet that's been said 20 million times before.

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 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...
