Su 8/11/24- Grocery Shopping: $122

 Su 8/11/24-Grocery Shopping: $122 

730am (2-LB). 8am (1/2-B). 125pm (2-LB). 415pm (1/2-LB). [NEW BATCH- White Truffle Popcorn]. 445pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB). 

Up 6am: A mix of sun & clouds and temps to about 80. More unusually beautiful August weather.

Watched 'LOLO AND THE KID' (Netflix). An old man and a young boy live on the streets and con childless couples into 'buying' the boy. Even in the Philippines (and anywhere on the planet) there must be laws against the selling of children.  In the movie, after the transaction is made,  the kid steals whatever he can grab and then leaves the unsuspecting 'parents' and hooks up with the old man back on the street. Not in the least believable, and the sentimentality and corniness is overpowering. It was such a lame & pathetic attempt at 'heartwarming' that I almost liked it..."Partners Forever". Set and shot in Manila, Philippines. 

Finished 'BRIGANDS: The Quest For Gold' (Netflix). A very unsatisfying ending, but another season is in the works. I think that in the actual Italian uprisings of the 19th century, the rebels lost the war and southern Italy and Sicily were reunited with the north. 

Began 'THE MIRE '97' (Netflix). {I watched 'THE MIRE' which was Season #1, 'THE MIRE '97' is next, and the final season is 'MILLENNIUM'}.       Set near Lipiec, Poland which is located in the northeastern part of the country and about 60 miles from Gdansk, Poland. The film concerns 'The Great Flood of 1997' which was the greatest flood on record in Poland. 'Rojst' is the original title of the series and is Polish for 'mire' or 'special wetlands'.  It could be a metaphor that compares the people and the system they live in to a swamp that they can't escape.

1255pm: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to walk on the treadmill and then get a handle on the backlog of materials that I have to send to 'Your Spending Account'. I hope to give them a call with all of my questions tomorrow morning. 

I planned to do FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; TUESDAYS WITH STORIES, but I noticed that it's supposed to rain tomorrow so I'll hit the treadmill when it's raining. 

135pm- 320pm: To Washington Park...Fairway,  Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Outer Park,  Lincoln,  Leland,  Douglas,  Wash.Pk northside,  MacArthur,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Kenyon,  and down to 940...ONE HOUR AND 45 MINUTES; EMERSON LAKE & PALMER- 'Brain Salad Surgery'; more of J.R.E. with the author of 'Blitzed' & 'Tripped'.

*While on the walk Buddy knocked over my coffee cup on the kitchen counter by the CD player and soaked the 'pot bindle'.  

I had planned to work on 'Your Spending Account', but lost all desire.

Reading 'DEMON COPPERHEAD'

425pm- and put away by 510pm:  To County Market; $122.

New Pot! White Truffle Popcorn 7g; 23%

450pm: In the tub with 'DEMON COPPERHEAD' and listening to MILES DAVIS Playlist; ALLMAN BROTHERS- 'Seven Turns'; DAVID BOWIE- 'Heroes'/ 'Lodger'. 

More of ROB LOWE on 'Bertcast'.

More 'MIRE '97' (Netflix). I shut it down 25 minutes into episode #3. There are a lot of moving parts, yet the suspense keeps building.

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...
