Even though my wife was home yesterday, after dark I used our Android TV Box to watch the 2011 Christmas movie 12 Wishes of Christmas.
During it, I had a can of strong (8% alcohol) beer and a good shot of golden or amber rum.
However, as far as I'm concerned, the movie was a farcical write-off. The main character as portrayed by actress Elisa Donovan wasn't even likeable for the first two-thirds of the movie because she was so cluelessly and unfathomably dense. I can't stand that level of stupidity in someone who is supposed to be middle-aged. It's bad enough in someone young.
I will not be adding this loser to the movies I intend to tune in when my younger brother brings his girlfriend here for a couple of days and nights over the Christmas period. She wants to cook a Christmas turkey dinner here.
My poor brother actually had to leave here around 1 p.m. today without any bed rest ─ he had arranged to go and pick her up to take her grocery shopping, to get her hair done ... and it seems to me that there was something else that I am now unable to recall.
Anyway, I am going to try and catch another Christmas movie by early evening today. The couple of drinks that I have been allowing myself during them is slowly building my acclimatization to alcohol ─ I am going to very much need that tolerance when my brother brings Bev here, for all we'll be doing is watching Christmas movies and enjoying drinks during them.
In yesterday's post here, I spoke of the snowfall we received ruing the latter morning and noon hour. We received over an inch of the stuff before the snow turned into rain.
However, the rain only lasted for a very few hours, and then we had a freeze. And now the blanket of snow that still remains is of course frozen. Some thawing occurred during the day today because it was sunny, but the thawing only applied on concrete ─ and I suppose places like rooftops. The ground would not warm up enough to allow for any such melting.
And with a clear day, we will have another freeze tonight. Nevertheless, my brother said that he had heard that we are due rain again by maybe Friday.
Before he had to head off early this afternoon, late in the morning I watched some T.V. with him via our Android TV Box (which only I am able to operate). I started things off with a 17-minute 2015 Tim Larkin TEDx Talk titled The Paradox of Violence.
My brother was not familiar with Tim Larkin, but I have known of him for well over a decade.
I followed up that video with a Corbett Report titled Solutions: The Thick Red Line. I have linked to its source at BitChute.com, but we watched it on YouTube. I just don't happen to believe these kinds of videos are secure on that platform due to the draconian censorship that is practiced by YouTube.
Then we watched a long episode of the T.V. series Endeavour ─ we're only into the first season. I noticed that there is a so-called special pilot episode that I failed to originally discern when we first began watching the series a few months back, so I will do my best to remember to tune that in when next we watch the series. But that won't be for three weeks' time.
Anyway, that series episode took us to around 12:20 p.m., and my brother then had to begin getting ready for his outing. He would be gone for the entire afternoon, after all, and into the evening.
My poor wife got into my amber rum early last evening, and the dear thing never stopped until she had drank at least a mickey (or half a fifth) of the liquor.
She had to work today, but fortunately did not have to start until 4 p.m. Notwithstanding, she was not exactly feeling her best when she left here on her sunny drive mid-afternoon, for she was going to have to do some shopping at Henlong Market on behalf of the restaurant.
While she was drinking last evening, she posted three photos to her Facebook account at 8:37 p.m. depicting her and her two sons posing with their snowboards:
I suspected what was going on at the time; and if you notice carefully, you can actually see me peering in at them up there beyond the snowboard and the youngest lad wearing the glasses.
Does that merit a 'photo bomb' label on my part?
Okay, it is already nearly 6:30 p.m., and I badly want to find and watch a Christmas movie, so I am calling it quits with the blogging for today.
