 Fr 6/5/26

705am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 745am (5-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 1245pm (GB: 6/Hybrid Popcorn). 230pm (5-B: Hybrid Popcorn). 435pm (GB: 5/ Hybrid Popcorn). 530pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 830pm (GB:6/ Hybrid Popcorn). 

Up 610am: {well rested}. 30% chance of showers early, then cloudy with temps to mid 80's. 

Watched 'THE BERLIN FILE' (Netflix). It's a very complicated tale of John le Carre level 'spy craft' in the city of Berlin involving various secret agencies including South Korea, North Korea, the CIA, MOSSAD, and a criminal Arab gang (?). A female translator for the North Koreans is compelled to sleep with a German diplomat to seal a deal favorable to the North Koreans. This is the final outrage and she decides to defect to the west, but her husband (who is a North Korean spy) is on the fence. I'm not even sure if this is what happened because the film is much more confusing than needed, but the gunplay and fisticuffs were worth a look. Quirky Scene: Two spies engage in fierce hand to hand combat and both use their empty 45 automatics as clubs.

Watched 'IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU' (Netflix). A cheap 'B-Movie' that's a blatant ripoff of 'Play Misty For Me', but they got Eric Roberts to brighten up the proceedings. It didn't help.  Shot near Calabasas, California near Topanga State Park; between Malibu and Pacific Palisades.

1230: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill.

1250pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; an episode of 'FATAL FRAUD'- The parents and their two young sons go missing from Fallbrook, CA. Four years later their bodies are found in a shallow grave in the Mojave Desert.  It was hubby's business partner; began JOE LIST on 'STAVVY'S WORLD.

Weights :3 sets/  15 reps.

Reading 'DAWN'

440pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; watched first episode of 'BAD THOUGHTS' (Netflix)- 1) Joins a black fraternity;  2) 'Let me in'...fart in car; began JORDAN JENSON on 'WHISKEY GINGER'.

535pm: In the tub with 'DAWN' and listening to UTOPIA- 'Adventures In Utopia'; GRAND FUNK RAILROAD- 'Shinin On'/ 'Red Album'; WAS (NOT WAS).

***Note to self: Another day has passed and nothing has been done to the bushes. I've got to get out and at least hack the trees from growing above the security fence. Also, trim the prairie grass bushes and remove the dry stalks from around the base. And, the 'garden of poison ivy' needs weeding; dead branches removed. Do it!

More 'JORDAN JENSEN' on 'WHISKEY GINGER'.

Began 'THE DIPLOMAT' season #2 (Netflix). I shut it down 7 minutes into the second episode. I have no memory of the plot and it's somewhat worth a look. I might skip it.

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...

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...
