 Sa 10/11/25- BLH 755am (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 850am (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 1025am (3 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 105pm (Diablo's Hearse). 255pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).   Up 650am: A mix of sun & clouds with temps to mid 70's. ***I'll be on the downstairs PC until I get a visit from Dave Eiter's son, Christian on Tuesday morning at 8am. This morning was a slightly discombobulating experience even though the system is about the same as the upstairs PC, it's the tiniest bit different to make things annoying. I had to restart "The Cheese Stands Alone" so it's the start of a new era.   ***The constipation issue feels much (slightly?) better, but still a little anxious. Since I had oatmeal instead of rice on Friday, I'll do the same today and see if that helps. Watched 'THE EXCEPTION' (Kanopy). Shortly before the invasion of Belgium by the Nazis, a German captain...

 Fr 10/10/25- Tech2Door: 1030am/ Gummy  840am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 225pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 total]. 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). Skipped the last bowl of the evening; I was just surprised that the PC worked and I forgot.  Up 630am: 30% chance of rain late this morning {never happened}, then cloudy with temps to low 70's.  Backed up 'THE CHEESE STANDS ALONE' and made a copy for the Toshiba drive and the thumb drive that is in the coffee cup with pens. It's also on Dropbox and my Dropbox is half full and one of these days I've got to organize the folders and delete redundant entries. Finished 'THE WATERFRONT' (Netflix). It's basically a celebration of masculine violence in defense of 'the family'. Also, their women need to be ruthless and heartless in their support of the dominant males in 'the family'.  This series didn't push a 'Republican' point of view and it was politically neutral...'Might Ma...

Watched 'COUP DE CHANCE' (Amazon Prime). On a busy Parisian street a rich & beautiful trophy wife meets an admirer from high school on her way to work. He has become an affluent young writer and they have an affair. The husband learns of the affair and has the man 'removed'. It's a small movie concerning 'the love lives of the very rich'; a French film directed by Woody Allen. "64" Metascore and I would go to "75".   Watched 'NELLY & NADINE' (Amazon Prime). It's a documentary about a French woman in her fifties contemplating her grandmother's life. She examines photos, diaries, and home movies that her grandmother compiled to document her 'war years' and t...

 We 10/8/25- Gummy 835am (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 910am (3 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1045am (4 hits-B: Citrus Mac). 125[I took 1/3 of 100 mg 'VIIA': 33 mg total]. 130pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 355pm (4 hits-B: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 815pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 730am (Tonight I will NOT take a laxative). Plenty of sun and temps to low 70's. Wrote up 'THE DEVIL'S PUNCHBOWL' for the blog.  ***I got an email from 'Your Spending Account' and I got everything that I asked for. Today I noticed $1,904.00 in my checking account... Amazing. I'm going to celebrate with an edible on the walk. Watched 'FRAILTY' (Hoopla). The film is a very unique tale that examines how God's 'communication' with mortals can seem quite similar to mental illness. A father raises two preteen sons in rural Texas and one day he has a vision from  god to begin 'killing demons'. The older son is skeptical, but the younger boy is...

Up 730am (a dump at 430am. Is this a trend?). Light rain/heavy mist this morning, then overcast with temps only to about 70. Hopefully, we got enough water to save the lawns.  I checked the portal for Springfield Clinic and made sure that all of my appointments were on my calendar. They were. I thought that I was due for a colonoscopy, but nothing was scheduled. I made an entry and listed the appointments in the blog (Cheese Stands Alone) 'Medical Appointments for early 2026' & it's filed after 'Mo 10/6/25'.  Watched 'BONJOUR TRISTESSE' (Kanopy). A moody & deliberate film about a man, his teenage daughter, and two of his lovers as they exchange languid witticisms in and around a sun drenched villa near Marseil...

A mix of sun & clouds with temps to mid 80's. Watched 'BENJAMIN' (Netflix). A dysfunctional suburban couple arranges a drug intervention for their son, but it's the entire family that's in dire need of emotional rescue.  More silly than funny, and boasts a cast chock full of mid-level comedic actors; with Bob Saget, Rob Corddry, Mary Lynn Rajskub (PUNCH DRUNK LOVE), Cheri Oteri (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE), Kevin Pollak (THE USUAL SUSPECTS), Drew Pinsky (DR. DREW), Bob Forrest (singer in 'Thelonious Monster').    Watched 'THE WRATH OF BECKY' (Netflix). Two films in one morning that were more silly than funny. A young girl is placed in foster care after her father ...
