 We 7/29/26

8am (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 840am (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 1020am (4-GB: Red Congolese). 115pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 335pm (4-B: Red Congolese). 545pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 825pm (LB: 6/ Red Congolese). 

Up 710am {well rested}. Bright & sunny with temps to about 84. Opened the windows until 1145am. 

Watched 'THE WITCH' (Hoopla- last pick of the month). Although the film is deliberately paced and feels a lot like a play, the script is pitch perfect and sounds absolutely authentic to the era. It's a Horror genre film that eloquently demonstrates the danger of religious fanaticism. Before the end credits we learn that the dialogue was taken from actual 17th century court records, journals, and witch trials. Directed by Robert Eggers; with Anya Taylor-Joy (THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT). 43 wins & 72 nominations. "84" Metascore & it got three scores of "100" and nothing below "70". I'd go to "94".

Watched 'PAID IN BLOOD' (Netflix). In 2020 indigenous people on the edge of the Amazon rainforest are thrown off land that they have worked their entire lives. Authorities judge the land as 'worthless' and then big corporations buy up the land for cheap and expel the farmers. The documentary is about a young lawyer who defends the peoples' right to the land and sues the corporations in the court. Also, it's about a gay man who witnessed a police raid that was designed to force the workers to relocate and ended in the murder of ten farmers by the cops. Before the doc ends, the lawyer is jailed (later released) and the gay man is shot and killed. Police say it was a robbery even though nothing was taken. A somewhat interesting tale about 'the powerless vs. the powerful'. 

1255pm: The PC is 'Off' and preparing for a long walk. 

120pm- 315pm: To Washington Park...Fairway, Greenview, Parkview, Wash.Pk southside, Wiggins, Outer Park, Lincoln, Leland, across by Dollar General, Walnut, Wash.Pk northside, up the hill, Parkview, Kenyon, and down to 940...ONE HOUR AND 55 MINUTES; DEEP PURPLE- 'Machine Head'; more audiobook 'MONEY LIES AND GOD'.

Reading 'THE FAMILY ARSENAL'

550pm: In the tub with 'THE FAMILY ARSENAL' and listening to DAVID GILMOUR Playlist; ED ROLAND & THE SWEET TEA PROJECT- 'Devils & Darlins'; PINK FLOYD- 'The Wall'. 

More ADAM RAY on 'TYSO' and began Adam Ray's interview show on Netflix- the Mark Normand episode.

More 'MAN ON FIRE' (Netflix). I shut it down 14 minutes into the third episode. I'm shocked at the mediocre reviews for this series. I think the  dialogue is great and I'm going to find out who wrote the novels. John Creasy is a memorable character and I've seen (and read) dozens of them. It's a novel from 1980 by an English author. The character of Creasy can be seen as a Japanese 'Ronin' or disgraced Samori.

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...
