 Sa 8/10/24

740am (2-LB). 820am (1/2-B). 10am (1-LB). 1230pm (2-LB). 330pm (1-LB). 440pm (1-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB).

Up 630am (Thanks, Buddy!) Partly sunny with temps to the mid 70's. Perfect weather for the first weekend of the Illinois State Fair. {GIN BLOSSOMS played on Thursday night}

Watched 'THE WRATH OF GOD' (Netflix). I rated it 'two thumbs up' when I watched it the first time, but I had no recollection and I loved it all over again. A famous author hires a young and beautiful woman to type his novels as he dictates. During a writing session he kisses the woman and she is deeply offended, but he says 'you were sending signals'.  Later, the man's wife learns that the young woman is suing for sexual harassment, and out of shame and disgust she drowns their four year old daughter and then takes an overdose of pills. The central question of the movie is did the author commit multiple murders to get his revenge for the loss of his wife and child or was it just god or chance interceding on his behalf?  I was surprised that this film didn't get much recognition and there isn't even a Metascore. I loved it like a finely written novel.

More of 'BRIGANDS: The Quest For Gold' (Netflix).  I shut it down 41 minutes into episode #4. The brigands have found the gold!

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 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...
