 Fr 7/12/24

705am (2-LB). 8am (1-B). 12pm (2-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 820pm (2-LB). 855pm (1/2-LB). 

Up 530am: Partly cloudy with temps almost to 90. The next couple of days are going to be hot and muggy. 

Watered flowers

A black late model Cadillac is parked in the drive across the street.  It looks like it belongs to an elderly black woman who is possibly a friend or family. 

***Buddy threw up his 430am snack in front of the toaster. I noticed when I was making the coffee after I got up.  No more food during the night. 

I had to do a Windows Update and it went slightly better than the downstairs PC last night. 

Watched 'THE CAPTAIN' (Amazon Prime). Near the end of WWII a German desertor (looter?) escapes, steals the uniform of a captain and then organizes a fake squad that goes after German looters and deserters. He becomes more and more brutal and the film shows how quickly violent behavior can become a 'necessary evil'. German soldiers brutally assassinate most of a prison camp composed of Germans who were arrested for petty crimes. The film is based on a real incident and the man impersonating a German captain was later caught, tried and executed. He was only 21 years old. A powerful, yet strange film; 23 wins & 19 nominations. "67" Metascore and I would have rated it slightly higher.   

Began 'CALL MY AGENT' (Netflix). This is a large budget French production and I think I'll give this series a shot and drop the Chinese dramedy that I began last night. I shut it down 30 minutes into episode #1. 

At 10am I called Emily Stone about the Kanopy problem and called again at 11am and left my number. I'm kind of resigned to the fact that I won't be able to get on until next month. It's a stupid and unnecessary rule.  

{She called and left a message that she had contacted Kanopy and they were working on it. I didn't hear from her and I'll call back on Monday}

1120am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then visit Planet Fitness. After the workout I'll stop at Schnucks' for a 30pk and soda. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. 

1215pm: To Planet Fitness...45"Cross,  45"Treadmill,  30"Bike,  30"Treadmill,  30"Cross;  watched documentary 'THE SAILOR' (Amazon Prime)- A profile of Paul Johnson, an old sailor who lives on his sailing boat near Grenada and he's coming to grips with the fact that he is probably too old to continue this lifestyle; watched documentary 'THE PIG FARM (Amazon Prime)- A True Crime documentary about Willie Pickton who was a serial killer of prostitutes in Vancouver, Canada during the late 1990's. He slaughtered the women at his hog farm on the edge of the city.

To Schnucks: $28- Sunkist diet soda, 30 pack Natural Light. 

Finished 'HARD TO HANDLE' by Steve Gorman and back to 'LAZARUS' by Morris West. 440pm: In the tub with 'LAZARUS' and listening to BIG STAR Playlist; ROLLING STONES- Early Playlist; SMASHING PUMPKINS- 'Gish' Deluxe. 

Began CHRIS JERICHO (pro wrestler) on 'Blocks'.

More 'CALL MY AGENT' (Netflix). I shut it down 29 minutes into episode #2. My interest is waning and the only upside is that it's shot in a beautiful section of Paris.

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...
