  Tu 6/23/26

630am (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 120pm (GB: 4/ Red Congolese). 530pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 835pm (GB: 5/ Diablo Sativa). 

Up 535am: A mix of sun & clouds, variable winds and temps to about 80.

The painter arrived next door just after 6am and he's painting the side of the house (my side). 

Watched 'MODI' (Amazon Prime). The first few scenes were a crazy burlesque and I almost shut it down, but the film develops into a gloomy & bleak portrait of the the Art scene in Paris at the early part of the 20th century; with Riccardo Scamarcio as 'Modigliani', Al Pacino in a small role and directed by Johnny Depp (he's not an actor  in the film). It's set in Paris under seige during WWI and profiles three early 20th century artists, Amedeo Modigliani, Maurice Utrillo, Chaim Soutine. They are presented as the dregs of society, yet fiercely defensive and confused about Art and the price of fame. I was surprised to see that the movie is an adaptation of a play. Filmed in Budapest, Hungary. "32" Metascore and I would go to "77". 

815am: The dentist called to confirm my appointment at 1pm on Thursday. 

Finished 'I WILL FIND YOU' (Netflix). Another successful adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel. There are a lot of moving parts, and it's totally implausible, but so engaging. They never showed the three year old boy getting beaten to death with a baseball bat. That kid had a terminal disease and he was to die a gruesome death, so maybe they felt a caved skull might be a more humane way to go. And, the man's escape from a maximum security prison was completely unbelievable. 

1045am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to pay a visit to Janny at Memorial then back home for a bowl and a workout at Esporta...

1105am- 1250pm Memorial...She seems mentally strong and isn't sugar coating the situation. She was to be moved late this afternoon to the joint on West Washington. 5 frantic minutes to find the Elantra on the way out.

130pm: To Esporta...45"Precor, 45"Treadmill, 30"Cross, 15"Recumbent Bike, 15"Precor;  watched 'STOLEN BABY: THE MURDER OF HEIDI BROUSSARD' (Netflix)- Another film about a young woman who steals a newborn baby. Is this a real thing?; finished WHISKEY GINGER with JAKE JOHNSON; finished ANTHONY JESELNIK on WE MIGHT BE DRUNK.

Reading THE MOSQUITO COAST 

535pm: In the tub with 'THE MOSQUITO COAST and listening to BIG WRECK Playlist; Best of Chess Records; BEASTIE BOYS Playlist. 

Finished 'GIG DISASTERS' & 'The End of Middle Class Musicians' with TIM PIERCE on RICK BEATO.

More 'POLYGAMIST' (Netflix). I shut it down 7 minutes into episode #16. There are 22 episodes in the series and each one is about 30 minutes.

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...
