 We 1/21/26

630am {1/2 VIIA 100 mg 'Day Drift' (green): 50 mg total}. 630am (GB: 6 rips/ Penny Lane Sativa). 710am (4 hits-B: Sour Diesel). 915am (GB: 5 rips/ Sour Diesel). 1255pm (GB: 6 rips/ Sour Diesel). 535pm (GB: 6 rips/  Sour Diesel). 825(GB: 5 rips/ Penny Lane Sativa). 

Up 530am: Partly sunny & breezy with temps to about 40.

Watched 'DICIANNOVE' (Kanopy). The title of the movie is the Italian word for '19' and that's the age of the protagonist. The film is a random collection of memorable and not so memorable events in the nineteenth year of life of a bright, naive and questioning college student. It's not an easy film, but hauntingly manages to portray this particular year as a volatile mix of profound naivety about life in general yet an ever present belief that the foremost answers to life's questions can be found in Italian literature (pre 20th century).  The kid is positively enthralled by the 13th century writer, poet & philosopher, Dante Alighieri. Set and shot in Palermo, the capital of Sicily, and Siena, Italy which is in the northern part of the country just south of Florence. {Some early scenes are in London}. "69" Metascore and I would go to "82".

Finished 'THE GODFATHER: CODA, THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE' (Hoopla). Crazy Plotlines: The mob loans the Vatican hundreds of millions and this transaction legitimizes the mafia's many questionable business enterprises; A young mob boss is in love with his first cousin; A pope is murdered and then Corleone and his daughter are shot and she is killed. It's like right out of an Italian opera. It's well worth a look, but mostly because you can appreciate how much effort went into the production. "60" Metascore and I would go to "78". 

More of 'SPY OPS' (Netflix). Finished 'Operation Pimlico'- The plan to get a western spy out of Moscow and began 'The Plot To Kill the Pope'. 

1230pm:  The PC is 'Off' and it's sunny and relatively calm, so I'll hit the sidewalks and do a long walk today. 

110pm- 310pm: To Washington Park...Parkview, Wash.Pk southside, Wiggins, Outer Park, Lincoln, Leland, across by Dollar General, Walnut, Wash.Pk northside, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...TWO HOURS; LOUNGE LIZARDS Playlist; began audiobook 'MONEY LIES AND GOD by KATHERINE STEWART. 

Finished reading 'STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND'. The kind of book that I've read a few times since it was published in 1961. Many good ideas and some not so good. It must have blown minds in '61

540pm: In the tub to begin 'THE 6:20 MAN by DAVID BALDACCI and listening to LONG RYDERS- 'Native Son'; LOS LOBOS- 'Kiko'; LOU REED- 'New York. 

Watched a 14" YouTube video about how Keith & Donna left the Grateful Dead.

More 'INSPECTOR ROJAS' (Amazon Prime). I shut it down 25 minutes into episode #4. The series works because the girls look very believable as  hot & tacky jailbait.

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...
