The Cheese Stands Alone

Th 5/8/25- Gummy: 50 mg total 640am {I took 1/4 of 'DIET SMOKE' 100 mg: 25 total}. 645am (1-LB: Panama Punch). 740am (1 hit-B: Permanent Marker). 925am (1/2-LB: Permanent Marker).  1230pm [I took 1/4 'DAY DRIFT' Sativa: 25 mg. 1230pm (1-LB:  Panama Punch) 345pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 535pm (1-LB:  Permanent Marker & Sativa Shake). 910pm (1-LB: Panama Punch & Sativa Shake).  Up 545am: Mostly cloudy with possible showers late this afternoon and temps to lower 70's.  Watched 'STRAWMAN' (Netflix).  A black & white film set in communist Poland in the late 1950's and it's about a rookie spy who is tasked to surveill the new Polish cardinal. This cardinal would much later become the pope. The secret agent meets a girl and they marry, have a child, lose that child, have another and then the marriage crumbles because he has a beef with god. That sounds dumb, but the film mostly worked. It's kind of a 'coming of age' film where an ea...

It's about the radicalization of a young woman. She was born into German nobility, but joins an urban commune that's dedicated to promoting leftist views. When political posturing becomes political action, she feels justified to become part of the mayhem. And in the end they use the 'compromised' (their fingerprints on the cases) explosives to blow up the...

 Tu 5/6/25- Brandenburgs at 1pm. 710am (1-LB: Panama Punch). 940am (1-LB:  Panama Punch).  1235pm (1 hit-B: a mix). 435pm (1-LB:  Permanent Marker). 535pm (1-LB:  Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 615am: Sunny to partly cloudy with temps to low 70's.  I had planned to get on the treadmill the first thing this morning because I thought that the CWLP guys might be back to cut off the power to work on the pole next door. I decided to take my chances and watch a movie and hope the work (if it happens) won't involve a power outage.  Watched 'ABSOLUTION' (Netflix). An aging gangster learns he suffers from Alzhiemer's and tries to make amends to his daughter and grandson. This could have been so much better, but the script seemed to run out of gas; with Liam Neeson, Ron Pearlman. "51" Metascore and I would put it at "76". From 'Original-Cin': "The film’s various elements do not quite meld, and despite a few strong perfo...

Cloudy with temps to mid 60's. ***845am: I noticed a CWLP truck in front of 940 and then a bigger truck with a small 'dump truck' (?). They're back to finish the work on the pole. 1030am: I noticed that they removed the old pole by lopping off a section at a time starting from the top. Fun Fact: Live humans on a telephone pole with cleats and a chainsaw are more exciting than any action film.   They finished for lunch about 1115am and their gear was still out back. The power and the internet never wavered.    ***1215pm: Just when I thought they were done, they started climbing on the pole in 'T's' yard next door. They even drove the tractor vehicle into his backyard. Hopefully,  they're just tightening up. Watched 'HAVOC' (Netflix). A theft o...

A young woman living in London retreats to the Orkney Islands to confront her out of control drinking and self destructive behavior. It's an oddly romantic and almost dreamy take on a mind under siege and the film tends to highlight the impact on the other people in her life. Those that she hurts the most bear responsibility for her condition; with Saoirse Ronan. Nominated for 2 BAFTA Awards; 5 wins & 28 nominations. "72" Metasco...

 Sa 5/3/25- Gummy 730am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 730am {I took 1/2 of a 'DAY DRIFT' gummy: 50 mg}. 915am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 10am {I took 1/4 of a 'DAY DRIFT' gummy: 25 mg- 75 total}. 120pm (1-LB:  Guavadew).  255pm (1/2-LB: Guavadew). 440pm (1/2-LB:Guavadew)  535pm (1-LB: PERMANENT MARKER). 810pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 630am: {read 'THE BIG MONEY' 5am}. Cloudy with mist & rain most of the day and temps only to upper 50's.  Watched 'REBEL' (Kanopy).  A frightening yet melodramatic profile of life in a violent Islamist terrorist group. Big brother joins the group and later his 13 year old brother 'follows the path to paradise'. The terrorists force the younger brother to shoot & kill the older boy, but mom accepts and welcomes him back in the end. Sounds dumber than it was because the film makes you realize that once you are in the group, your entire family is held hostage. And if your terrorist son is identified on social media ...

 Fr 5/2/25- Pole Delivery 725am (1-LB: Guavadew).  755am (1 hit-B: Guavadew). 110pm (2-LB: Cookie Bread). 535pm (1-LB:  Guavadew). 815pm (1-LB: Cookie Bread).  Up 630am: A mix of sun & clouds with temps to upper 60's. ****Yesterday a guy knocked on the front door and wanted to have permission to 'put flags on the property'. It was Comcast/Xfinity and they are going to replace the telephone pole out back. The pole is in 'Sam The Beagle's' yard. I hope I do not lose service because at 915am this morning I noticed more guys out back. These guys are from CWLP and they are delivering the pole through my side yard (Old Dead Lady). They have the pole balanced on a 2-wheel cart and they will push it through to the back. It's a tight squeeze. They laid the pole along the back fence. I talked with one of the guys and the hole will still be in Sam's yard. I might lose service, but it will be 'after lunch'. I guess it's a 'Go' for today. Yest...
