 Mo 1/1/24

650am (2-B). 745am (1-SB). 1235pm (2-B). 550pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

Up 540am: Partly cloudy with temps to mid 30's.

Watched 'THE NEXT THREE DAYS' (Netflix). A woman is sentenced for a murder she didn't commit and her husband develops an elaborate plan to spring her from the Pittsburgh City jail. The film works only if you suspend belief completely; with Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde, and Liam Neeson (for a single scene). "52" Metascore. Shot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

An interpretation of the theme of 'DON QUIXOTE' by Cervantes and the theme of the film:  "Rational thought destroys your soul."..."What if we chose to live in a reality of our own making. Does that render us insane? And if it does, isn't that better than a life of despair?"

Watched 'THE SPIDER-MAN OF PARIS' (Netflix). I shut it down at 37 minutes. A burglar specializes in stealing from rich Parisian apartments by entering from the roof. He began taking anything of value and then he graduated to stealing paintings. Next he learns to break into museums. I'll finish this tonight. 

Wrote The Chat

1150am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then hit Planet Fitness. I hope to get in the workout before I hassle with changing the plan over to United Healthcare.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

1245pm: To Planet 

Fitness...45"Cross, 45"Treadmill,  30"Bike,  30" Treadmill,  25" Cross;  watched 'THE SILENCING' (Netflix)- An alcoholic game warden looks for his missing daughter and it's revealed that the local coroner was 'hunting' young girls. Stooopid; with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (GAME OF THRONES); more SHANE GILLIS on J.R.E.; watched 'I AM A KILLER; (Netflix)- A white pimp from Joplin,  MO stabs a black man in the throat.

Finished 'NATIVE SON' by RICHARD WRIGHT. 

555pm: In the tub to begin 'SEIZE THE NIGHT' by DEAN KOONTZ and listening to TALKING HEADS- 'Fear of Music'; PSYCHEDELIC FURS- 'All Of This And Nothing'/ 'Talk Talk Talk'. 

Began 'YANKEE SWAP' with Robert Kelly, Joe List, Dan Soder, and the rest of the gang.

More 'HIGH TIDES' (Netflix). I shut it down 15 minutes into episode #6. 'Glamor Boy' has something to do with the black kid's missing aunt. It's still hard for me to believe that the town of Knokke is a vacation destination. The beach and scene looks very second rate.

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...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...
