 Fr 5/23/25- Fireworks

645am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 740am (1 hit-B: Guavadew). 915am (1/2-LB: Guavadew). 1205pm (1-LB:  Guavadew). 435pm (1/2-LB: Purple Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Guavadew). 810pm (1-LB: Guavadew). 

Up 545am: Partly cloudy with temps to just over 70.

Watched 'PAST LIVES' (Netflix). It's a powerful story of thwarted love about a Korean couple who were close childhood friends who reconnect after many years. She has a successful life in NYC and he has a career as an engineer in Seoul. When they were twelve, she immigrated to America with her family and they didn't physically meet again for two decades. When they finally meet in NYC she is married and they are torn between the 'siren song' of their early teens and accepting the life that Fate has determined for them. The surprise is that they take the mature road and sidestep a more romantic ending. But, it was the kind of movie where you wonder if maybe they might meet again and things could go a different way. A truly special film and I loved it. Nominated for 2 Oscars; 87 wins & 239 nominations. "94" Metascore and it got nothing below a "75".

Screen Rant- "...an understated triumph".

Watched 'MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE' (Netflix). This was a wild ride of a movie and a clever take on a middle class Polish family under extreme duress. Mom is a teacher and her husband is the headmaster. They live in an apartment with their two sons, her mother, and the oldest son's wife and little boy. Everyone in the family is unhappy and acting out. To make things even more adversarial, mom is having an affair with one of the teachers at the school and she is being blackmailed for her sins. It turns out that her second son is behind the 'shame campaign'. This film was truly 'one of a kind' and definitely worth a look. MASZ PRZEJEBANE- Polish for 'Your're Fucked'.

1135am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights, walk Washington Park, and then (maybe) hit County Market for mulch and (maybe) do some weeding in front. {What happened was quite different}

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

1215pm- 145pm...To Washington Park... Parkview, Wash.Pk southside, Wiggins, Ash, Douglas, Wash.Pk southside, MacArthur, Wash.Pk northside, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 30 MINUTES;  JOHN MAYALL- 'Back To The Roots'; more RICK DOBSON on J.R.E. 

155pm: County Market for mulch but I didn't see any, so on to Ace. I loaded 5 bags of Black Pine Mulch into the trunk and then returned the caulking tubes & gun. I still have a $20 credit. More mulch in my future. 

Reading 'MEDIEVAL IN LA'

440pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began CRAIG FERGUSON on 'ARE YOU GARBAGE?'.

540pm: In the tub with 'MEDIEVAL IN LA' and listening to BUTTHOLE SURFERS- 'Locust Abortion Technician'; FLAMING LIPS Playlist; CHARLIE MINGUS Playlist.

Finished a 37" YouTube video- 'Cannabis & Awareness: Examining the Spiritual Aspects of Cannabis' and a Tom Segura 22" YouTube video about the making of 'BAD THOUGHTS'. 

***920pm- 930pm: I had heard 'thunder' but I thought it was in the movie. Then I realized that I saw signs 'No Parking Fireworks' in the park this afternoon, so I went upstairs and witnessed one of the best displays that I've ever seen. It probably lasted no longer than a minute, but it was very impressive and when it ended I could hear a mob of people cheering from Washington Park. And, all of this excitement right on the edge of my breezeway. 

More 'THE ETERNAUT' (Netflix). I finished episode #3 and the series is a worthy addition to the 'post-apocalyptic' film genre. The 'snow' must be special effects and when I finish the series I want to see if there are any 'behind the scenes' about making the film.

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...
