I saw my Christmas movie early last evening, but it was not sufficient to keep me from dissolution, most unfortunately. However, I will not elaborate on that topic at present.
The movie I selected was 2012's Naughty or Nice (also check out Hallmark's website for a description).
I absolutely loved the movie's premise and development, but I gradually realized that I had watched the movie before at some point. This recognition struck when our heroine (played by Hilarie Burton) had to take a temporary job as an elf wrapping presents at a shopping mall. That fast became familiar to me.
I had either only watched the movie after it had already begun; or else I watched it while I was too drunk to remember it clearly.
The character's name was Krissy Kringle, but she wasn't some long lost offspring of the Santa lineal line. Her father's last name was Kingle, and thus her parents thought it would be really cute to name their daughter Krissy.
To make things a little worse in that context, after the adult Krissy began buying a house in a fairly well-to-do cul-de-sac, the other residents petitioned and had the cul-de-sac renamed as Candy Cane Lane because the homes were always vying to see which of them would be judged to have the best Christmas display ─ they didn't realize that Krissy wasn't as enthusiastic about this sort of thing as they were.
Incidentally, from IMDB:
Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter, who portray Krissy Kringle's parents Walter and Carol Kringle, also portrayed married Steven and Elyse Keaton, the parents in the series Family Ties (1982).This actually dawned upon me when I saw them together, for I often watched that old series.
The latter half of the movie didn't have the same appeal as the initial half, but I still liked it. Perhaps my familiarity with the film spoiled the last half for me.
There was one scene that I thought was unfair of Krissy ─ it was during the judging of the cul-de-sac's best decorated home (and yard, of course).
Krissy had dethroned the woman who seemed to have won because Krissy was able to 'out' the woman as having been the culprit who had been filching decorations from all of the other homes, and storing them in her shed ─ this was done to reduce the effectiveness of her competitors' decoration efforts.
So a new vote was initiated, and Krissy got first place.
Well, what seemed unfair to me was that another couple who had put in an enormous amount of work on their home got second place. Krissy had done nothing ─ she had blackmailed her mall boss into taking all of the mall's unneeded decorations and having him install everything at her home.
She had not even been there to witness his hard work, so in my mind she had no right to be claiming first prize when the result of the decorating had nothing to do with her efforts. It was definitely a major "naughty", but her deceptive actions never made it into Santa's "Naughty or Nice" text book.
During the movie, I drank two cans of the Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) that I try to keep in stock. I had my light supper in between the two. And once the movie was over, I followed it up with an episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star.
I was not too concerned of my younger brother arriving home because he had left afoot in the early afternoon to catch a bus in order to drink at a rather remote pub that is not enforcing criminal Provincial Unhealth Officer Bon-Bon's illegal 'vaccine passport' mandates. A friend of his lives near to that pub.
And so after my second show, I then came here to my computer and brought glee to Satan's heart.
It was probably around 9:30 p.m. before I got to bed to nap away the remainder of the evening to restore me for those overnight hours when I would be working here at my computer and undertaking another session of seven or so more-or-less hourly self-administrations of three drops of Miracle Mineral Solution.
I have but four more nights of these, and then I will see how I fare on a single daily dose of six drops. I am very much looking forward to that graduation ─ I hate being tied down to these daily multiple hourly sessions.
I likely got back to bed around 6:15 a.m. ─ and it had rained hard overnight, by the way.
One of the involvements I undertook overnight was making a post in my private blog ─ the post was concerned with what I had written 40 years earlier into my journal concerning this date, back when I was 31 years old.
A person who figured very largely in that old journal entry was Larry Ernest Blue who was like a close cousin to me and became a dear friend. He was to die early in 2011 of cancer, but I did not realize at the time that he was hospitalized and approaching that end from terminal cancer. Many of my maternal relatives knew and were visiting him, but no one let me know.
Most likely he was subconsciously in my mind when I went to bed this early morning, for around three hours after I had gone to bed, my sleep was brought to an end by the sound of his voice clearly calling my name aloud just as someone might who had come into my bedroom and wanted to awaken me.
I checked the time and saw that it was something like 9:18 a.m., and essentially time for me to rise ─ I had just been about to change positions in bed and get back to sleep.
There was nothing more that I wanted to offer concerning that incident. It was just that his voice was so distinct in speaking aloud my name.
I spent some time here at my computer after rising, and then around 10 a.m. I went downstairs to join my brother and put our Android TV Box into action.
Odessa Orlewicz had yesterday posted her third consecutive daily video, so I tuned that in: Mainstream News/Politician's Puke Of Lies Caught On Camera. It was nearly 1½ hours long and featured her guest Kyle Cardinal, whom my brother and I have seen before in at least one other of Odessa's videos.
We also watched a couple of much shorter videos, including a five-minute Instagram post that Krista Ford had made while apparently using a treadmill ─ the very attractive young woman seems to be as aware of what is happening here in Canada and around the world concerning this false plandemic / scamdemic / casedemic and all off its unreasonable and ineffective COVID-19 measures.
The surprisingly enlightened young woman is the daughter of Ontario's premier Doug Ford, and thus is speaking out against everything that he claims that people should be obeying unquestioningly.
A copy of her surprising video can be watched on BitChute here.
The final show my brother and I were to watch was what turned out to be the series finale of Altered Carbon. Man, that series sure went nowhere! I'm glad it's over with. This frees me up to add some other series to the rotation of series that my brother and I work our way through together.
The rain let off by midday if not before, and we've had some afternoon sunny breaks. Some have been quite extensive ─ the bees no doubt need this better weather.
My wife is due back at some point today. Yesterday I included here a Facebook post she had made of some photos of her that I took that afternoon in which she was displaying some of Thailand's The iCon Group health-related products that she happens to sell as a small-time agent of theirs.
I see that she made another post today with three more of the photos I took of her ─ in these three (and provided the Facebook embed link remains valid) you can see her posing with her oldest son's Harley-Davidson. I think that the product she is holding is Room Coffee:
As I said yesterday, she seems to be reselling the products that she carries for a price lower than her customers are able to buy the items anywhere else.
She is trying to make a success of this enterprise ─ she has even been paying for Facebook advertising. But there is no way that she can possibly ever consider quitting her part-time Thai restaurant job, unfortunately.
Well, I see that it is after 6:30 p.m., so I am going to stop here and get this published so that I can possibly see a little T.V. before my brother shows up from wherever he went to drink this afternoon.
