 We 11/8/23

7am (2-B). 810am (1-SB). 1235pm (2B). 445pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

***A shout out to Georgia Pie! I cannot remember an Indica (or Sativa) strain as wonderfully powerful as this. It leaves the previous varieties in the dust.

Up 545am: Mostly sunny & breezy with temps almost to 80.

Watched 'THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION' (Tubi). It's mostly about the horror of male homosexuals attacking the unwary in a twentieth century prison in rural Maine. Yet in the end, two 'friends' beat the system and rebegin their lives on a snow-white beach in sunny Mexico. However, they did NOT walk toward the setting sun holding hands; with Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, and James Whitmore. Based on a novella by Stephen King called 'RITA HAYWORTH AND SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION'. I thought it was more than a little bit corny. Nominated for 7 Oscars; 21 wins & 42 nominations. "82" Metascore.  

Began 'THE BILLIONAIRE, THE BUTLER, AND THE BOYFRIEND' (Netflix). I finished the first episode. The richest woman in the world is taken for millions by a male photographer friend. I'll do more of this tonight.

***I opened a few of the windows for possibly the last opportunity of the season. It's 75 degrees at 1130am. 

1135am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights,  fill out the form to get the dental rebate from Aetna ($57.40) and then spend the afternoon on the machines at Esporta.  On the way home I'll mail the rebate and stop at the vitamin store for another month's supply. Tomorrow I'll begin raking the front lawn.  

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

1245pm:  To Esporta...45" Precor.  45"Treadmill.  30"Cross.  30"Bike.  30" Precor;  watched the complete documentary 'SQUARING THE CIRCLE- The Story of Hipgnosis' (Netflix)- I was shocked at how many of those album covers I have owned. The entire company was basically the advertising & marketing arm of the Pink Floyd organization; began 'IT AIN'T OVER' (Netflix)- A biography of Yogi Bera.

To vitamin store & mailed Aetna rebate at the PO box at the entrance to the strip mall.

***Inexplicitly running an hour ahead...Thanks, Georgia Pie.

455pm: In the tub and finished 'SLEEP NO MORE' and listening to JAMES GANG Playlist; JAMES CHANCE & The Contortions- 'Paris, Live'; JOHN MELLENCAMP Playlist.

Began 'The Workaholics' on 'Something's Burning'

More of 'THE BILLIONAIRE, THE BUTLER, AND THE BOYFRIEND' (Netflix). I shut it down 5 minutes into episode #3- the final segment. The woman is heir to the L'Oreal cosmetic line.

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...
