 Sa 6/27/26

825am (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 910am (5-B: Diablo Sativa).  1215pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 535pm (GB: 6/ Diablo Sativa). 

Up 715am: Morning fog, then clouds (chance of showers) and temps to about 80. I wanted to mow the lawn today, but it might not happen. 

A prompt to restart right off the bat. It only took a few moments, but why is there not a hue and cry? 

Watched 'THE CIRCLE' (Kanopy). It's a profile of the harshness & unfairness of life under Sharia Law for women who are not connected to family or husbands. Patrols of armed men patrol the streets of Tehran, Iran and randomly stop and question women who are out unaccompanied. The women must keep covered (head to foot and preferably in black) and almost every purchase (for goods or services) requires a male to sign for them. One of the women buys a shirt and it costs $5,200 Iranian tomans and that is approximately $0.52 usd...fifty-two cents! 12 wins & 7 nominations. "85" Metascore and that's about right. From NEW YORK DAILY NEWS- "How dangerous it is to be a woman in Iran, especially one going against the wishes of her menfolk, is brought home time after time in these related vignettes."

Watched 'A COUNTDOWN TO MURDER' (Amazon Prime). Dennis Nilsen was very similar to Milwaukee's Jeffrey Dahmer although he never resorted to cannibalism. He murdered fifteen young men and kept the corpses for companionship. When the dead were in an advanced state of decomposition he clogged the drains in the neighborhood flushing away body parts and this finally alerted the police.

12pm: The PC is 'Off' and heading to Planet Fitness and then to Schnucks for laxative and peanuts (that I overlooked yesterday). It's still too damp to mow, so tomorrow's gonna be another day. 

1225pm:  To Planet Fitness... 45"Cross, 45"Treadmill, 20"Recumbent Bike, 25"Cross...TWO HOURS AND 15 MINUTES;  binged on 'NEMESIS' (Netflix).

Schnucks: dry roasted peanuts, laxative; $8.00. 

Reading 'THE MOSQUITO COAST'

4pm- 445pm phone call to Janny 

540pm: In the tub with 'THE MOSQUITO COAST' and listening to ETHIOPIAN JAZZ Playlist; BACK STREET CRAWLER- 'The Band Plays On'; ARTHUR LEE- 'Vindicator'; BABY LEMONADE- 'Best of...'; 'Forever Changes' Live.

RICK BEATO discussed 'Monoculture' with a friend.

Began 'NOTES FROM THE LAST ROW' (Netflix).  I'm hooked already and it seems to be about a creative writing professor who is envious of the writing skills of one of his students. Also, the teacher is very insecure about his own talent as he hasn't published a book in twenty years... "If you can't do it, teach 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...
