 Th 9/5/24

650am (2-LB). 8am (1/2-LB). 950am (1/2-B). 110pm (2-LB). 440pm (1-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB). 

Up 520am: Bright & sunny with temps to upper 80's.

Watched 'EASTERN PROMISES' (Amazon Prime). Russian mobsters flex their power on the streets of London. The old mafia chief''s son is a gay rageaholic and he's gotta go, and his second in command wants to take his place. A sexy midwife holds an incriminating diary that demonstrates illegal activity by the mob and she wants to trade the info for a whore's newborn baby..."Slaves give birth to slaves". I knew I had seen it before, but didn't really click until the legendary 'knife fight in the steam room' scene; with Naomi Watts, Viggo Mortensen, Armin Mueller-Stahl, and Vincent Cassel. Directed by David Cronenberg. Nominated for 1 Oscar; 28 wins & 74 nominations. "83" Metascore and that's about where I'd rate it. . 

***Sent a short note to Janny about missing last night's ball game with the kids at the local middle school.

 Watched the first episode of 'CAUGHT IN THE WEB: The Murders Behind Zona Divas' (Netflix). It's about an escort service that began in Venezuela and spread to Mexico.  'Zona Divas' just handles the publicity and everything else is strictly voluntary, but the women are forced to run up enormous debt.  The management style is very close to 'human trafficking' (if not identical) and if the owners were smart and fairly shared the massive profits with the women, they could probably make it legit..."Sure was a good idea 'til greed got in the way". 

Watched 'CREAM: Disraeli Gears' (Amazon Prime: 45"). Pete Brown (lyricist) was a beatnik performance artist before he connected with the band.  Jack Bruce played bass on Manfred Mann's 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy' record. The first album had Jack Bruce as lead vocalist and 'Disraeli Gears' featured Clapton singing the leads. At the time of the first album Clapton was into 'Dadaism'- poetry and art that is satirical and nonsensical. 

1230pm: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to walk the treadmill and watch 'TUESDAYS'.

Assembled the garden lights and put the tops out behind the garage to charge.EZ 

115pm:  FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; TUESDAYS WITH STORIES.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

I called Memorial and had them send the receipt for a $60 copay. "What's the big deal"? I neglected to tell the new clerk about it. On the last call the guy said that he couldn't do it or that I should call back in about a week.

Reading 'TWEAK'

Put out the garden lights front & back 

440pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; ARI SHAFFIR interview. 

540pm: In the tub with 'TWEAK' and listening to STEVE MILLER BAND- 'Bingo'; SAVOY BROWN Playlist; POLICE Playlist. 

Began BILL BURR on 'Bad Friends'.

More 'THE BARRIER' (Netflix). I shut it down 41 minutes into episode #12. I'll be able to finish the series tomorrow morning.

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...
