My younger brother had returned from the bar early last evening before I had published that day's post here in this blog, so I felt obligated once again to sit up into the midnight hour operating the T9 Android 8.1 TV Box that he has no facility with. Otherwise, he is left with basic cable to watch on T.V. ─ or else my youngest stepson's Netflix subscription that my brother is able to access.
I selected a movie to start off our evening together ─ 2017's Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I honestly think that this is the first Star Wars movie I have ever watched all the way through.
I admit that it was quite entertaining, even if I didn't have all that much familiarity with the characters.
I did not realize it while watching the movie, but one of the female 'bad guys' who was hidden beneath her armour was tall (6 ft. 3 in. or 1.91 m.) actress Gwendoline Christie whom my brother and I became familiar with ─ visually, if not by name ─ when we watched the T.V. series Top of the Lake (the China Girl season); and we're presently enjoying her in Game of Thrones (we are only into the second episode of season three).
My wife arrived home during the movie, following her long day working at her friend's Thai restaurant. And although my brother and I watched T.V. until midnight, she preceded me to bed.
After I retired, I remained there until finally arising near 8:00 a.m. this morning to get to work on the post I am putting together at one of my six hosted websites. My brother never emerged from his bedroom until around 9:45 a.m., and then he of course soon had the T.V. on.
I did not join him until a little after 10:00 a.m., and my poor wife rose soon thereafter to begin readying for her new day at work and the goodly drive to arrive there ─ she has an 11:00 a.m. start.
It rained a lot overnight, and has done so all the day through ─ quite hard, too. I bet it's cold rain!
My brother was in no rush to seek his bed rest until 2:00 p.m., so I operated our Android TV Box until then. He had suggested that he was reluctant to head off for a bus to begin doing his usual latter afternoon drinking, but I was still quite surprised to have my own nap and then rise to discover him still to be home and watching T.V. anew.
It is now approaching 6:30 p.m., and I have involved myself with my two blogs ─ it has been too damned early for me to care to be providing him entertainment just because he has decided to remain home for the first time in literal years instead of waltzing off to get drunk somewhere.
He really needs to learn how to use a computer!
Anyway, I made two posts in my private blog, and now I am making this token post here.
However, I do have a movie I would not mind trying to tune in, so maybe I will put this post to bed.
