Early last evening I was able to watch the 2013 Christmas movie Snow Bride featuring Katrina Law as the acting lead ─ I had just watched her in a 2015 Christmas movie (12 Gifts of Christmas) a couple of days earlier, and adored her in that one.
Snow Bride had the same effect on me. Katrina is irresistibly beautiful, from my perspective!
Actress Susie Abromeit played a deceitful status-seeker who was so effective in the role that it made her look unattractive to me. I see that she had a supporting role in the T.V. series Jessica Jones, which I loved, but I have no memory of her character.
As well, Susie apparently has an athletic background, yet her upper arms were practically scrawny as compared to those of Katrina.
Sorry, Susie ─ I should not be denigrating you like this. I will stop. I was only doing so because your character was so dislikeable in Snow Bride.
I managed to limit myself to one glass of Merlot during the movie, but that was because I intended having two cans of strong (8% alcohol) malt later when I would be watching shows with my brother.
After he was home, employing again our Android TV Box, we were to watch an episode each of four of the T.V. series that we follow: Jack Irish, Young Wallander, Animal Kingdom, and finally The Man in the High Castle.
I could barely resist opening a third can of malt during The Man in the High Castle.
But speaking of Animal Kingdom, although I failed to mention it when I wrote a few days ago of watching a two-part episode ("One For Sorrow") of Lewis that was kicking off season nine, a supporting actor in that episode was Finn Cole, who plays the youngest of the criminal Cody boys in Animal Kingdom.
When my brother and I got together this morning for some T.V., I once again put our Android TV Box into action and we watched a 'HeartsofOak' October 1st upload to Rumble ─ the video was a little more than an hour (1:07:19) in duration: The Week According To . . . Caroline Farrow.
Welcome to our hebdomadal show that looks back over the past seven days.
This episode, as we take our first tentative steps into autumn, the greathearted Caroline Farrow returns to talk us through what has captured her attention, piqued her interest or made her blood boil in the news, media and tabloids including...
- Black History Month: Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization
- 'It is going to be a difficult winter'. PM warns of tough times ahead as energy bills soar from today.
- Victory of Christian parents who recently won a five-year legal battle with the DoE that forced the government to review its transgender policies.
- Trans charity Mermaids investigated over ‘breast binders given to children’ against their parents’ wishes.
- Virgin Atlantic says it is the world's 'most inclusive airline' with staff being able to wear optional pronoun badges and choose whichever uniform 'best represents them'.
- Sussex Police forced to apologise after saying they 'do not tolerate' gender comments about trans paedophile who sexually abused children.
- PayPal forced to back down after their assault on Free Speech groups.
- The sudden and unexplained rise of Adult Sudden Death Syndrome.
Oddly, I remember nothing of any discussion of SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome).
The only other feature we were to watch was our final sitting to see the finish of the 6½-hour 2013 documentary Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told. That is a link to some BitChute sources.
IMDb lists the documentary as being under six hours.
Archive.org has one that is six hours and 23 minutes, while another there is approximately the same length as claimed by IMDb.
The problem with the 6½-hour version that my brother and I watched is that there was a stretch of around 11 minutes that was dead space beginning right around the four-hour-and 13-minute mark. So I had to find those missing 11 minutes at Archive.org for us to watch.
My brother sought some bed rest just ahead of noon, while I waited until late into the noon hour before seeking a nap. He was gone for the day when I rose.
Since we have had yet another sunny day, from 2:20 p.m. I put in just over 1¼ hours of sunning out in the backyard where I wore just a pair of cutoffs.
This sunny weather is bizarrely unusual! I have had past Septembers where I never managed more than a day or two of sunning in early September, and then it was no longer possible due to uncooperative weather until well into the Spring of the following year. To still be sunning in October is something beyond my recollection ... and more such days are still expected.
After I was back in the house, I happened to be looking out the living room window at flowers blooming in our front yard. Then just a short distance beyond and just below the living room window, I noticed some activity in a big orb-weaver spider's web.
I saw that a hapless honey bee must have just drifted into the web after possibly having visited a nearby large flower and before the bee could generate any speed. It was trapped.
I was in my bare feet, and felt an impulse to rush outside to try and save the bee; but before I could even begin to act, the spider was upon the bee, casting some web around it and then apparently sinking its fangs or whatever it has into the bee, no doubt injecting the venom that would doom the bee whether or not I then rescued it.
The bee was beyond saving at that point, and soon enough I saw that the spider removed itself from the bee and was just waiting nearby ─ probably letting its venom begin the work of liquefying the bee's insides for the spider to more easily drain.
I didn't like this concept at all, but that is what God wrought.
I will not be sitting up this evening awaiting my brother. I have to get up at 2 a.m. for one of my 5½-or-so-mile walks, so I expect to be abed before 10 p.m. ─ maybe even before 9:30 p.m. if my brother should make a homecoming by then.
