Tu 12/5/23

745am (2-B). 9am (Liked. 1250pm (2-B). 230pm (1-B). 540pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 620am: More clouds and temps to lower 40's.

***When I went to enter the 'CHEESE STANDS ALONE' I noticed that the shortcut on the desktop was gone. It was still in 'documents' and I created another shortcut and nothing was lost. It was a harrowing few minutes, but no foul. 

***The screen saver will not engage after I added the Chrome Equalizer extension a few days ago. But, the downstairs PC has the extension and the screen saver works fine. I've done all I can and it was only on the early computers that it was possible to 'burn' an image into the monitor, so it's really not that critical of an issue. {Later I noticed that the screen saver activated. Why?.....Later still I noticed that it was NOT working...Why?} 

***VII Hemp order arrived in the mailbox at 847am and I got a text confirmation.

Watched 'DESPERATE HOURS' (Tubi). Another film that was so bad it was great! A psycho killer and his two accomplices escape from the police and pull off a home invasion and hide out in an upscale suburb. The story ends in an avalanche of bullets as the police shoot up everything in sight. The family survives and the bad guys (and a substantial part of the neighborhood) are shot to smithereens; with Mickey Rourke, Anthony Hopkins, Mimi Rogers (Bosch), Elias Koteas, David Morse, and Dean Norris. Directed by Michael Cimino...From Entertainment Weekly: "In Cimino’s paws, the story of a merciless crook (Mickey Rourke) terrorizing a suburban family descends into lurid gibberish..."33" Metascore and I think that rated this one about right.

More of 'RUNAWAY' (Netflix). I finished episode #3.  A few scenes were shot in Washington Square, NYC but most of the story occurs on the mean streets of Montreal. 

1230pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hit the treadmill today. I had planned to walk outside, but I think that I'll hit Esporta tomorrow and save the walk for Thursday. It's supposed to be in the sixties in the next couple of days. 

1250pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; the latest TUESDAYS WITH STORIES; began WEIRD AL YANKOVIC. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

 Reading & skimmed to the end of 'RADICAL CHIC' and glanced at 'MAU MAU' - the two essays by TOM WOLFE. 

Began 'CHINAMAN'S CHANCE' by ROSS THOMAS.

450pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished WEIRD AL YANKOVIC on 'Blocks'.

545pm: In the tub with 'CHINAMAN'S CHANCE' and listening to KING CRIMSON Playlist; ZZ TOP Playlist;  POLICE Playlist. 

Began MARK NORMAN on 'KFC RADIO'.

More 'RUNAWAY' (Netflix). I shut it down 21 minutes into episode #5. I thought it might have been a legitimate music business opportunity until Lea got gang raped. "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...or gets gang raped."

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

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...
