 Sa 3/7/25

715am (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  810am (1-LB: Panama Punch). 235pm (1-LB:  Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 820am (1-LB: Panama Punch).

Up 545am: Bright & sunny with temps to low 50's. 

'Spring Forward' tonight and today I'll begin to rake (with the new rake!) the gumballs on the front lawn.

Watched 'MICKEY AND THE BEAR' (Hoopla). A stifling, yet deeply moving drama about a poor teenager from rural Montana who lives a turbulent life with her father. He's cross-addicted to alcohol and Oxy and suffers from a severe case of PTSD. Basically, he treats his daughter like a 'fill-in' for his dead wife and she has a shallow boyfriend who sees her as nothing more than 'the future mother of his children'. Mickey has dreams of attending college in San Diego, but her chances of breaking free seem slim to none. The film was realistic, but such a downer. The final scene has her literally running down the street and fleeing her 'happy home'. 5 wins & 15 nominations. "79" Metascore and I would boost that to "91". 'Film Threat' gave the film a '100' and said "... there is not a single misstep in the entire production". Filmed in Anaconda, Montana which is 26 miles northwest of Butte, MT.

Watched 'SCARFACE: The Al Capone Story' (Amazon Prime- 1hr). Capone was a narcissist who enjoyed trading quips with the media and he loved to overinflate his image and power. {He's practically Donald Trump only with facial scars}. But all of his crimes only broke state laws and federal laws did not exist.  That is why they went after him for federal tax evasion. The authorities played along with his 'larger than life' image because if they could convince the public that Capone was 'Public Enemy Number One', it would demonstrate that federal regulation and a federal police force were effective and necessary. His infamy worked to the benefit of the authorities because 'the bigger the bust, the bigger the reward for the government'.  

Finished 'BETTER THAN US' (Netflix). "Death To The Bots, Long Live The Living". In the last scene  Safronov gets a text message from an unknown number 'Help Me'. It seems like it could be from Arisa.  Maybe her 'brain' was saved after the explosion at Cronos? This sounds like a nice starting point for season 2. After such an intense drama, the gag reel was a lively & high spirited change of direction. To see Arisa and the other actors wildly dancing was hilarious.  This was a series to remember. 

It's noon and apprehensive about hitting the front yard. Maybe it's too cold and tomorrow would be a better beginning.  I am 'NW2' on the 'Waste Pickup' map and Monday is my pickup week. I guess I'll hit it.

1210pm: The PC is 'Off' and preparing to see how the new rake works out. 

1225pm- 220pm: only 5 bags

245pm- 405pm: Washington Park...Parkview, Wash.Pk southside, Wiggins, Leland, Douglas,  Wash.Pk southside, MacArthur, Wash.Pk northside, and up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...ONE HOUR 20 MINUTES; CREAM- 'Farewell Tour 1968'; finished WOODY HARRELSON on J.R.E. 

Reading 'THE LATHE OF HEAVEN'

***Set the clocks forward

540pm: In the tub with 'THE LATHE OF HEAVEN' and listening to JOHN COLTRANE- 'The Atlantic Collection'; KING CRIMSON- 'Absent Lovers'; TALKING HEADS- 'The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads'.

Watched a YouTube video- 'Rogan's fans turn on Tom Segura'

Began 'I AM MARRIED...BUT! (Netflix). It's a very clever and well written rom-com from Taiwan. In the third episode they drink a bottle of wine that is $10,000 Taiwan dollars and is about $305.00 usd. I shut this down 14 minutes into episode #3. I'm definitely in for more of this witty series and it's 12 episodes but most are under 40 minutes.

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...
