 Sa 1/10/26

805am {1/3 'DIET SMOKE' 200 mg: 66 mg total}. 805am (GB: 6 rips/ a mix of Sour & Diesel). 905am (GB: 2 monster rips/ Tropicanna). 1055am (GB: 5 deep rips/ Tropicanna). 105pm (GB: 5 rips/ a mix of Sour & Tropicanna). 255pm (GB: 5 deep rips/ Tropicanna). 540pm (GB: 5 rips/ Sour Diesel). 820pm (GB: 5 rips/ Tropicanna). 

***This morning I noticed that the red light on the wifi is 'On' and, as usual, performance is unaffected. I'm relatively sure that there was a power outage in the house last night, but why the red light? 

8am: A frenzied snowsquall that lasted about 20 minutes; a dusting of ground cover that melted within an hour. 

Up 7am {restless night}. Light rain & snow showers this morning, then cloudy & breezy with temps to low 40's. 

Watched 'A MOST WANTED MAN' (Kanopy). A muslim man seeks asylum in Germany. He's trying to get millions from the account of his rich dead father who was the head of a vast criminal empire. German police and US foreign service act to get the money from falling into the hands of terrorists. The details of the operations are fuzzy as well as the possible outcomes and that's probably what it's like in the real world of modern spycraft; with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Daniel Bruhl, Nina Hoss, Vicky Krieps. 3 wins & 6 nominations. "73" Metascore and I would go to "87". The final scene reminded me that I had watched the film before. Hoffman's character is so disgusted with the Americans for co-opting his operation that he stops driving his car, gets out and just walks away...the film ends.  As the final credits rolled I learned that the film was based on a John Le Carre novel. 

More 'RUN AWAY' (Netflix). Lots and lots of characters, but the basic premise is fairly easy to make out.  

1245pm: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do 5 miles on the treadmill and then hit County Market/ Fairhills for the groceries. 

110pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; 6 Hour Bong Fest- 'GDWH'.

County Market: 310pm & put away by 350pm: $113.00

Reading 'THE BRASS VERDICT'

545pm: In the tub with 'THE BRASS VERDICT' and listening to JOHN COLTRANE- 'Soultrane'; JOHN MAYALL- 'Crusader'/ 'Beano'.

More of 'The 6 Hour Bong-A-Thon': 'GDWH'.

***I learned that Bob Weir passed away. He died from lung problems and he was 78.

Began 'THE PRICE OF CONFESSION' (Netflix). A South Korean woman is convicted of brutally stabbing her husband in his artist studio. The details are randomly presented and something unusual is afoot. I'm definitely hooked for more of this. Filmed in many traditional and modern locations in Seoul, South Korea.

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...
