Mo 1/29/24- Buddy to Vet: 1130am

620am (2-B). 1150am (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 535am: Cloudy throughmid day, then bright & sunny with temps to lower 40's. 

Oiled treadmill

***Because of Buddy's morning appointment with the vet I began the day on the treadmill, but lost the will to continue. I'll walk outside after I get back from the vet.

Watched 'DANIKA' (Amazon Prime). This was a clever idea, but the execution was lacking. Marisa Tomei stars as a suburban mom with a caring husband and three young children. She seems under stress from random fears and concerns that threaten to overwhelm her, but later we learn that none of her stable life is real and it's all a symptom of complete madness. She is actually a homeless woman alone and living on the streets. This seems like a 'made for TV' movie and would have worked better if they went full on 'Art House'.  

Watched 'FILLING IN THE BLANKS' (Amazon Prime). A man takes a random DNA test and learns that he was a donor baby, and so were his two brothers. The film offers the reasons why his parents decided never to tell the boys of their true parentage. Then, he documents how the siblings reach out to locate and meet their 'new' half brothers and sisters. 'Elephant In The Room'- Medical students during the 50's and 60's were donating sperm and inseminating women in secret. Who paid for it?  Who authorized it?  Whether this was legal was not clear since it had never been an issue in all of history. This was a truly thought provoking documentary. 

Wrote a short Chat and prepared for the visit to the vet. Buddy is in fine form and hasn't been sick in several days so he will be putting his best foot forward today. 

1045am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a trip to Brewer. 

1115am and home by 1140am. They just took a bood sample.

1205pm- 205pm:  To Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk northside road, MacArthur, Douglas,  Dial,  Leland,  Lincoln,  Outer Park,  Wiggins,  Wash.Pk southside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...finished PHD about religion & UFOs on J.R.E; began YANNIS PAPPAS on J.R.E. 

Reading 'MAO II'

430pm: Call from Brewer. He lost a little weight, so get him to eat more. Stick to low protein foods: around 10% is good. Canned food is better. 

445pm: Raked gumballs for about 40 minutes. Filled one barrel and 'half-assed is better than no ass'. Looks passable. 

550pm:  In the tub with 'MAO II' and listening to KING CRIMSON- 'Live in Vienna'; JACK BRUCE- 'Early Albums' Playlist.

Finished DUSTY SHAY on 'Are You Garbage?'

More 'THE BEQUEATHED' (Netflix). I shut it down 14 minutes into episode #5. It's starting to come together, but the Korean names don't make it any easier to follow the plot.

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...

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

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...
