 Sa 10/5/24- Bo's Birthday Bash: 4pm Glenwood

725am (2-LB). 925am (1-LB). 1010am (1-LB). 220pm (2-LB: 1st time THCA). 725pm (2-LB: THCA). 840pm (1/2-B:THCA). 

Up 630am; Partly sunny & breezy with temps to upper 80's.  

730am: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; the latest TUESDAYS WITH STORIES; more of  a J.R.E.  

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

***Wrapped Bo's gift: a collection of ten different board games (chess, checkers, etc)

Watched 'SMALL TOWN CRIME' (Amazon Prime). A very classy 'Hard Boiled/ Pulp/ Noir' that deserves top honors at an 'Overlooked Film Festival'. An alcoholic ex-cop finds a beaten and dying hooker by the side of the road. When she dies at the hospital, he vows to find out who-dunnit and along the way he reconnects with his self esteem; with John Hawkes, Anthony Anderson, Octavia Spencer, Robert Forster, and Clifton Collins Jr. "68" Metascore and I would have boosted it to at least "75". Executive Producer: Octavia Spencer.  Filmed in Tooele and Midvale, Utah and prominently features an early 70's flat black Nova muscle car.  

'CARY GRANT, THE MAN HE DREAMED OF BEING' (Amazon Prime). Not a complete bio, but it hit all the high points. For me the biggest takeaway was Cary Grant's interactions with Mae West. She gave him a lot of advice. She wrote all her dialogue and had a firm grasp on her career and Grant applied this to all of his dealings in Hollywood.  {Side Note}  I noticed that nearly all of Rodney Dangerfield's delivery and persona is lifted from Mae West's stage and movie act. I'm surprised that she didn't sue him for plagiarism, but I guess she was long gone before he made the scene. 

145pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the treadmill and stop on the way to Glenwood for vitamins on Wabash. 

 225pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT;  more of JORDAN JENSEN talking about 'Green Day's.

340pm- 7pm: Vitamins & Glenwood I went the wrong way, so I just went to Glenwood. Home by 7pm. We had pizza, but no cake. Ice cream sundaes instead. His gifts were almost all cars and mine was the only game.  

When I got home I was chilled from sitting in the AC for a couple of hours, so I decided to watch the Evening Movie upstairs.

More of 'YELLOWJACKETS' (Netflix). I shut it down 40 minutes into episode #6. Very much a feminist point of view, and I'm still not sure if the occult will be involved. 

935pm: The living room PC is 'Off' and time for some 'cabbage/oatmeal'. I had two slices of pizza, ice cream, and a handful of M&Ms at the birthday party.

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...
