As I predicted in yesterday's post, I was into my bed by 9:30 p.m. last evening. My younger brother had not yet bused home from wherever he had gone to meet with one or two of his drinking buddies.
I'm unsure now just when it was that I rose overnight to put work into the post I have in development at one of my six hosted websites, but it might have been around 3:30 a.m., or slightly earlier. I found myself feeling slightly hungover, although I had not consumed alcohol the previous evening. Dehydration from a supper can induce the symptom in me ─ after all, is not a lot of a hangover due to the inadequate fluid bathing the brain as a result of the diuretic effect of lots of drinking?
Anyway, I was not to return to bed until well past 5:00 a.m.
Even so, by 8:00 a.m. I was struggling to find further sleep. And well before 9:00 a.m., I rose to have myself a bath ─ my brother was already up that hour earlier and watching T.V.
When I joined him at 10:00 a.m. to put our Android TV Box into operation, I had two videos in mind instead of our usual T.V. series fare. The first was a Corbett Report titled Bill Gates and the Population Control Grid that I had learned of in a Mercola.com article published June 13 titled Deconstructing Bill Gates’ Agenda.
I put these things on as much as for the benefit of my brother as I do for myself, so I tried to not allow it to bother me when he rose at one point and disappeared into his bedroom upstairs for a few minutes.
He also has become quite the bloody snoop. No one can pass by on the street outside without him staring raptly out the window ─ sometimes that clod will even stand right in front of my view of the T.V., so invested is he in other people's affairs.
It really aggravates me that he has come to this ─ I suspect that his brain has some impairment from years of heavy drinking and chronological senescence, for his 68th birthday is not three weeks ahead of us.
Before I put on the second video, I had us watch one of our usual shows ─ an episode of The Graham Norton Show. This was the fourth in the current season, and also the fourth in which Graham interviews his guests individually via something like Skype. The episodes are also 50% shorter than they have always been before when he was in a studio with a live audience and the usual huge production that goes with entertainment talk shows of this nature.
I suspect that poor Graham's ratings are probably plummeting with the current format.
Once that episode was over with, I then tuned in The Truth Behind Joe Exotic: The Rick Kirkham Story. We had finished watching The Tiger King series last week.
I found it interesting enough, but after one of my brother's disappearing episodes, he sat down and groused, "How long is this?"
It was approximately half done at that point. He did not like that the documentary was far more about Rick Kirkham and his life than it was about Joe Exotic.
Incidentally, I located the video through the Cinema HD 'app' that I have downloaded into our Android TV Box.
There was an enormous amount of footage of Rick Kirkham back when he was involved with Inside Edition. I was struck by how absent the nasal quality of his voice was back then ─ today, he has an extremely pronounced nasal tone to his voice that was barely detectable as recently as 15 years ago.
I wonder if it's a consequence of his years of smoking and maybe snorting dope?
Oh, dear ─ my evening is already upon me.
I will wrap things up by saying that my brother sought some bed rest at 12:50 p.m., so it was then that I had a sensibly light first meal of my day; and then I also returned to my bed.
My brother was gone for the afternoon when I emerged from my bedroom an hour or so later.
The day had become quite sunny, so for the first time in several days I got in some sunning. Wearing just a pair of gym-style shorts out in the backyard, I slouched low into a deck- or lawn-chair and faced into the Sun for just over 40 minutes.
Upon returning into the house, I have been working on my two blogs since that time. One is my private blog.
I want to get in some exercise now, so I am going to take my leave here.
