 Th 9/26/24

705am (2-LB). 810am (1/2-B). 1210pm (2-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB). 

Up 6am: Sunny & breezy with temp to upper 70's. 

Watched 'THE KILL ROOM' (Kanopy).  The film is basically a light satire on the determination of 'Value' within the marketplace where artists, collectors, and dealers trade artworks for huge sums.  Asking prices are sky high and the standards by which they are judged are purely hypothetical. So, it's an ideal opportunity to launder huge sums of money. I thought the satire was a little weak, and a more interesting film might have been a documentary that successfully hypes and sells a fraud and demonstrates how easily the 'experts' can be fooled; with Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Joe Manganiello. "58" Metascore and I'd give it a 'C-minus' although I did enjoy the film.  

Watched 'MURDEROUS MINDS: Harold Shipman' (Amazon Prime- 45"). An English doctor killed over 200 people and according to the doc he is considered to be a serial killer. But, it seems to me that he was more like an English 'Jack Kerorkian'. The film says that he targetted the very old and sick for murder, but couldn't these terminably ill people have been asking for assisted suicide?  This explanation hasn't even been hinted at and it's such a glaring and obvious omission. 

More 'BORGEN: Power & Glory' (Netflix). I shut it down 3 minutes into the final episode and I'll finish tonight and start on another foreign series.

***A tree company is trimming or cutting down the big tree two houses up the street from me. I hope that it's just a trim and not a removal. {It was a removal and the big Poplar or Ash tree is no longer there} 

1125am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then workout at Planet Fitness. Tomorrow I will get on the treadmill first thing so that I can get in mileage before the roof inspection at 1pm. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

1225pm: To Planet Fitness...45"Cross,  45"Treadmill,  30"Bike,  30"Treadmill,  30"Cross;  watched 'JAILBREAK: Love On The Run'- In Alabama a female correctional office falls for an incarcerated felon and she breaks him out. They were captured but not before she blew her brains out; finished RICK BEATO's interview with ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist; began a WE MIGHT BE DRUNK. 

Schnucks:  $29; Squirt/ Hamns 

540pm:  In the tub with 'COLD DAY IN HELL' and listening to FLOCK Playlist; BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN- 'E- Street Shuffle'/ 'Born To Run'.

More of PHIL HANLEY on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

Finished 'BORGEN: Power & Glory' (Netflix). It was a fine series and it looks like there are more spinoffs and I'll definitely get to them at a later time. 

Began 'WE WERE KINGS' (Netflix). A Mexican drama series and I think it will be worth a look.

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...
