 We 5/21/25

650am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 735am (2 hits-B: Guavadew). 950am (1-LB: Guavadew). 1155am (1-LB:  Purple Punch). 540pm (1-LB: Guavadew). 815pm (1-LB: Purple Punch). 

Up 530am: Cloudy & windy with temps only to lower 60's.

Wrote up 'DOORWAYS IN THE SAND' by Roger Zelazny for the blog.

Watched 'I'M STILL HERE' (Netflix). A terrific story of an ex-Brazillian congressman who is 'forcibly detained' by military authorities. His wife can't even get proof of his arrest or where he was taken. It's a compelling examination of how his family dealt with this 'new reality' that occurred during Brazil's military dictatorship. His wife would never let the authorities forget her husband's 'disappearance',  although they were absolutely uncooperative. It took decades before the government released any details of what happened to the congressman and thousands of other victims of state sponsored terrorism. This was an engrossing film about what life might be like under a military dictatorship. Before the credits rolled, there were photos of the actual family. Won 1 Oscar; 53 wins & 60 nominations. "85" Metascore and I would go to "90". Some reviewers put this at "100" and others at "50". Maybe it had to do with their personal views on fascism? 

More 'THE GLASS DOME' (Netflix).  I shut it down at the end of episode #3. A character accepts $35,000 Swedish Kronor to cause a large pipe to leak at the mine and it poisoned the community's water supply. $35,000 equals about $3,700 usd. 

1125am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then hit Esporta.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps. Later, I'll stop at Schnucks for soda & apples.

1210pm:  To Esporta...45"Precor, 45"Treadmill, 30"Cross, 30"Recumbent Bike, 30"Precor;  watched documentary 'GARBO: 'Where Did You Go?" (Netflix)- She began poor in Stockholm and conquered Hollywood & even made it when 'Talkies' took off in 1928. Her first director was well known, but he's known for 'making' her. She was one of the first actors in 'Queer Cinema'; more RICK BEATO with some of PEARL JAM; finished 'BAD THOUGHTS' (Netflix).

Schnucks: Diet Squirt & apples- $14

545pm: In the tub with 'MEDIEVAL IN LA' and listening to ELVIN JONES Playlist;  JOHN MAYALL & MICK TAYLOR- 'Back To The Roots'.

Finished Mike McCready & Jeff Ament with RICK BEATO.

More 'THE GLASS DOME' (Netflix). I shut it down 31 minutes into episode #5. I plan on finishing this interesting 'Nordic Noir' tomorrow morning. Just over an hour is left in the series.

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...
