 Tu 5/28/24

655am (2-LB). 730am (1-B). 1245pm (2-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 810pm (2-LB). 

Up 555am: Sunny & breezy with temps to upper 70's.

Watched 'COME TRUE' (Kanopy- borrowed yesterday). An eighteen year old girl has left her home (we never learn why) and enrolls in a sleep study program because she has nowhere to stay. Nothing in the plot can be accepted as real and it probably is all dream by someone who has been out of it for a couple of decades. Lots of dramatic tension, but only an adequate payoff, yet I liked it. 7 wins & 11 nominations; "68" Metascore and I would have rated it slightly higher; with Julia Sarah Stone ... "If you can read this you have been in a coma for 20 years..."- final shot of the film.

Watched 'STATELESS' (Kanopy- only 1 credit left for May). A low budget documentary about a woman running for congress in the Dominican Republic. She is trying to address the problem of 200,000 Hatians who are without a country. Born in the Dominican Republic, but their 'proof' is ruled inadmissible.

Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic, ordered the killing of thousands (between 12,000 and 35,000) to 'whiten the race'. "The Parsley Massacre"; 'Shibboleth'-A word or phrase that distinguishes one group from another. Hatians were asked to pronounce the word 'parsley'. If they said it wrong they were executed as Hatian.I was going to watch 'HONEY BEE' (Tubi)- {This one also stars Julia Sarah Stone}, but I decided to see it tomorrow morning.  

Watched another 10 minute film starring Joe List- getting street parking in NYC.

Watched a 20 minute video about a guy trashing Bert & Tom for disrespecting Tony Hinchcliffe at the Tom Brady roast. I think I only watched it so that I could postpone the yardwork. Why do I dislike this task so much?

1215pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill.

1245pm:  FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; complete 'TUESDAYS WITH STORIES'; began NEAL BRENNAN on 'BERTCAST'.

Weights:  3 sets/  15 reps

 235pm-335: (Back) Yard Work; hacked at the old bush by the spare bedroom & slashed weeds by the security fence. It was relatively painless and made at least an hour's worth of difference. 

***I talked with the guy next door and he said he would blow the leaves off the roof; tomorrow 8am- $40.

Reading 'THE GEMINI CONTENDERS'.

440pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of NEAL BRENNAN on 'BERTCAST'.

540pm: In the tub with 'THE GEMINI CONTENDERS' and listening to ROBIN TROWER- 'Victims of the Fury'; JACK BRUCE- 'B.L.T.; BEST OF CHESS RECORDS; HULLABALLOOS Playlist. 

More of NEAL BRENNAN on 'BERTCAST'.

More of 'THE UNKNOWN HITMAN: The Story of El Cholo Adrian' (Netflix). It's cheesy & lurid and well worth a look. I shut it down 40 minutes into episode #3.

8am: Roof sweep

Call Wedgewood!!!

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...
