 Su 1/25/26

715am {1/2 Diamond CBD 'Wedding Cake' 150 mg: total 75 mg}.  730am (GB: many rips/ Tropicanna). 810am (4 hits-B: Penny Lane Sativa). 1010am (GB: 4 rips/ Penny Lane Sativa). 1215pm (GB: 5 rips/ Tropicanna). 545pm (GB: 6 rips/ Tropicanna). 820pm (GB: 4 rips/ Penny Lane Sativa). 

Up 6am: Light snow continued all last night although only about three inches to five inches had fallen. It's hard to tell because of drifting. Snow continues through mid morning and temps only to 13 degrees for a high.   

Weekly Cleaning

Watched 'A WHITE WHITE DAY' (Fandor). A middle aged policeman is mourning the death of his wife in a car accident. He is refurbishing a home for his daughter, her husband, and his granddaughter. Later you learn that he is also dealing with the fact that his wife was cheating on him. Very much an Art Film, and it really connects with an offbeat & dynamic presentation. Filmed in Iceland in the Eastfjords region near the town of Hofn, Iceland.

***On YouTube they are running live coverage on the storm that's sweeping the nation. Not so much a blizzard, but more of an ice storm. Areas in the south will be without power for a long time. It's 10am and although it's still overcast, I think the possibility of more snow has ended. 

Watched 'BELLFLOWER' (Fandor). A kind of 'coming of age' film featuring Californians in their early twenties as they try to connect and form relationships. Filmed in Ventura, California which is south of Santa Barbara and about 65 miles up the coast from Los Angeles. I shut it down with 45 minutes left and I'll finish it tonight. 

1155am: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. It's nine degrees outside and occasionally very fine pellets of snow are falling. 

1220pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK @ DEROSA & SHAFFIR. 

Weights: 3 sets/  15 reps (barbell lite).

Finished 'THE 6:20 MAN'. It's interesting and it keeps you guessing, but I'm looking forward to another REYNOLDS PRICE novel. It wasn't a novel, but an anthology. I read one short story and I didn't fully get it. It's something about grief and death. The author was a poet as well as a fiction writer, so it's about what you would expect.  I switched to a comic novel. 

430pm- 5pm: Shoveled the driveway and walkway. About 5 inches of dry & granulated flakes.

550pm: In the tub to begin 'PERMANENT ERRORS' by REYNOLDS PRICE and listening to MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA Playlist; MANFRED MANN Playlist. 

***Another request for a restart and I didn't get this on the upstairs PC. 

YouTube 20" YouTube video 'Cannabis Etiquette'.

Finished 'BELLFLOWER' (Fandor). Very strange film and got a "72" Metascore and I would go to "84", although I really liked the comment from THE A.V. CLUB: " It is, without a doubt, a striking debut. But it's also punishingly distasteful and disjointed almost beyond coherence, a repetitive heap of a film that feels disgorged rather than crafted." 

Began 'JO FROST: KILLER KIDS' (Fandor). A series on Fandor about a fourteen year old boy from Nottingham, England who killed his mother with a hammer. Some very average and corny observations.

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...
