 Tu 10/1/24

625am (2-LB). 735am (1-LB). 905am (1/2-B). 1240pm (2-LB). 3pm (1-LB). 535pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB). 

Up 520am: Bright & breezy with temps only to 70.

Watched 'JIMI: All Is By My Side' (Kanopy). A surprisingly good biopick of the early months of Jimi Hendrix's musical career. He had to go to London to make it in America and he got a big assist from his relationship with Keith Richards' girlfriend, Linda Keith; with Andre 3000 (OUTKAST) and Imogen Poots as Linda Keith. None of Hendrix's music was used in the film, but it was played by Waddy Wachtel (guitar), Leland Sklar (bass: JAMES TAYLOR, Asylum Records sessionman), and Kenny Aronoff (drums: JOHN MELLENCAMP). One win & 10 nominations. "66" Metascore and I would have boosted to just over "70".  

Watched 'SIMON BIRCH' (Hoopla). {I was able to borrow at 9am. The library's 'picks' are usually used up by this late in the morning}. The film is remarkably close to the novel, although the play that the kids perform in the film is only the birth of Jesus. In the book they also do 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens; Ashley Judd, Oliver Platt, David Strathairn. I can't believe that anyone would ban this book and at worst, it's sentimental and a bit too melodramatic. Filmed in Toronto, Meshaw Falls Cottages, and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps 

1255pm- 235pm: To Washington Park/  County Market...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Leland,  Dial,  Douglas,  Wash.Pk southside,  MacArthur,  Wash.Pk northside,  Park,  Edwards,  Amos,  Monroe, County Market- $2.19 Nightlights, Chatham,  Fairway,  and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 30 MINUTES;  BYRDS- 'Untitled'; more SKANK FEST on J.R.E.  

305pm- 330pm Walmart: 12 games in 1; Checkers, Chess, Chinese Checkers, etc: $17.00. It felt like hours, but I was home in twenty five minutes.  I walked into the door on the far north side of the store, hit 'The Games' which is just inside the store, and I was back outside in less than three minutes. I couldn't believe it!

Reading 'GONE TO SOLDIERS'

435pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began ARE YOU GARBAGE? '

545pm: In the tub with 'GONE TO SOLDIERS' and listening to TONY LEVIN Playlist; MASTERS OF REALITY Playlist; ROLLING STONES- 'Exile On Mainstreet'.

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...
