 We 6/19/24

715am (2-LB).  8am (1-B). 1005am (1-LB). 1pm (2-LB). 240pm (1-LB). 545pm (2-LB). 

Up 555am: Hot & humid with plenty of sun and temps to low 90's. However, it was cool enough to open the windows early this morning. 

***735am: I noticed the 'Corvette Guy' cutting limbs (taller than the roof of his house) from the trees in his backyard. He had a big ladder and extension clippers (borrowed from work?) and he was talking (yelling) on the phone the whole time. He's got a big branch pile out front and winded down shortly after 9am.

Watered flowers

Watched 'LUMBERJACK THE MONSTER' (Netflix).  A psychotic Japanese married couple who are doctors steal babies. They are looking for sociopathic children and they want to implant neuron chips to see if behavior can be controlled.  A subplot is derived from a children's book where a lumberjack kills and eats his human victims. Later he realizes that he's more of a lumberjack than a cannibalistic serial killer and experiences empathy for the first time. The guy in the monster suit was the man who got away with murdering his wife for life insurance money. He made 50 million on the policy ($300,000 in USD) and he got to keep it because there were no witnesses. It couldn't be proven that he pushed her. A very convoluted tale with a satiric tone that makes it compelling viewing. "56" Metascore and I would have rated it slightly higher. 

***10am: Had to start the AC and the thermostat was at 81. 

Watched 'MYSTERIES OF THE TERRACOTTA WARRIORS' (Netflix). 2,200 years ago a Chinese emperor united all six areas of the country and he began The Great Wall. Emperor Quin (Chin) also named the country although his reign only lasted fifteen years. His successor was not accepted and the country was plunged into civil war. His mausoleum was 23 square miles and approximately the same area as Manhattan island. 

1225pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for the treadmill. 

Borrowed Steven Womack from Hoopla 

1pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; TUESDAYS WITH STORIES; more SAL VULCANO on J.R.E. 

Weights: 3 sets/  15 reps.

Began & finished 'WHY POLITICS SUCKS WITH JUST A FEW MODEST PROPOSALS THAT MIGHT MAKE IT AL SUCK A LITTLE LESS' by Steven Womack (2016)-  Borrowed from Hoopla this afternoon.

5pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; GENE SIMMONS on 'Steve-o'.

550pm: In the tub with 'FINGERSMITH' and listening to YARDBIRDS Anthology; LES CLAYPOOL Playlist; ROLLING STONES- 'Exile On Main Street' Deluxe. 

***When I was in the bedroom after the bath Buddy threw up a little bit outside the bedroom door. Is it personal? Was he throwing up 'at' me? 

More of GENE SIMMONS on 'Steve-O'.

More 'Sebastian Fitzek's: THERAPY (Amazon Prime). I shut it down 27 minutes into episode #3.

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...
