Su 1/14/24

730am (2-B). 1235pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Cloudy and today's high is only 'Zero' and a 'Wind Chill Warning' is in effect until 3pm this afternoon.

The Weekly Cleaning

Watched ''JOHN WICK: Chapter 3- Parabellum' (Netflix). Another 'Chop-Socky Delivery System' and not much else, but the dialogue was a cut above (slightly); with Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne, Lance Reddick, and Anjelica Huston. "72" Matascore; 18 wins & 29 nominations. "If you want peace, prepare for war"...'Parabellum'- translates as "Prepare for War".

Finished 'CIGARETTE GIRL' (Netflix). A better than average 'epic' love story set in the Kretek business of Java, Indonesia. It was definitely a foreign perspective, yet very romantic and I enjoyed it.  

1145am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hit Esporta. I want to shovel the walk & driveway, warm up the Elantra and then head out. The temperature is 'minus 7' at 1145am and I'm a bit apprehensive about starting the car when I get done with the workout. But, if I was working, the car would be out in the cold for eight hours. And, when I lived at the condo the car was outside 24/7. {The cold was never a factor. The Elantra started right up in the garage and after the workout}

1245pm: To Esporta...45" Precor.  45"Treadmill.  30"Cross.  30"Recumbent Bike.  30"Precor; watched 'THE CONVERSION' (Netflix)- Wiretapping involves plans for a murder; with Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Frederic Forrest, Cindy Williams, Teri Garr, and Harrison Ford. "87" Metascore; 3 Oscars; 14 wins & 17 nominations; more of HONEY DEW;  began 'WORKING': What We Do All Day' (Netflix)- Studs Terkel's theme for the modern era and I don't know what I would do if I was young and looking for a job today. "Knowledge Worker"; the concept of Middle Class is only a blip in the history of the world. Humankind have mostly lived with a very few individuals owning nearly all of the common wealth. 

Reading 'REDEMPTION'.

545pm: In the tub with 'REDEMPTION' and listening to TALKING HEADS- 'Buildings & Food'/ 'Remain In Light'; LOU REED- 'The Essential Lou Reed'.

Began TONY ROBBINS on THEO VON

Began 'THE DEEP STATE' (Netflix). I shut it down 3 minutes into episode #2. A Kuwaiti jet crashes into the sea and a government official was found to be illegally dealing with a crooked French jet manufacturer. Another 'very foreign' series and I'm not completely sold.

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...
