πŸ’€☠πŸ’€☠πŸ’€☠ Runaway

After stupidly buying two 8-packs of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) at Green Timbers Liquor Store last evening and telling the cashier to round up the tab (something just under $30) to $35 by way of me tipping, it quickly dawned upon me what an idiot I was.

I could have bought three 6-packs of the beer for $32.25 and still told the gal to round up to $35 ─ at least by having done so I would have benefitted from acquiring an extra two cans of beer.

I felt foolish about this as I left the store ─ and the state was worsened by further stupidity on my part because I first gave the gal a mere $25 when I told her to do the up-rounding to $35, so I needed to cough up a further $10.

I got back home to of course find my younger brother still watching T.V. as was the case when I left; and my wife had also been home some while after working the day at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time ─ she had done some supper cooking for everyone.

I was to only drink two beers over the course of T.V. viewing. My brother did not relinquish its control over to me until a programme he was watching ended at 11 p.m., so it developed that we were only to have time to watch one of our shows-in-common ─ Bosch. Specifically, it was episode six ("Chapter Six: Donkey's Years") of the first season.

Thereafter my brother requested "something short", so I sampled a new-to-us sitcom ─ the first episode ("Pilot" "Love") of Kath & Kim. The choice was an error ─ I had meant for us to start watching the earlier Kath & Kim Australian series.

I did actually tune in the proper series first, but I saw that it was Australian, whereas I had believed the series was supposed to be British. However, my impatient brother was sufficient annoyance enough that when I skipped out of that series to sample the later version, I just stuck with it.

I enjoyed it! I had no idea who the Kim character was, but I thought that she was effectively darned hot. And although I see that actress Selma Blair had the role, the actress's name does not conjure up anybody I can remember seeing.

Nevertheless, I checked her Wikipedia acting credits, and I was very surprised to see that quite recently my brother and I watched the 2008 movie The Poker House, and Selma played the role of the addiction-riddled prostitute mother. I had found that the mother character was unusually ... well, sexy. Now I see why ─ it was Selma in her prime.

Anyway, when the episode ended, my brother sat up a while longer watching random YouTube 1960s music videos I set to play via the SmartTube that I have downloaded into our Android TV Box.

After he called it a night, I soon enough retired to my bedroom and this bedside computer, and I remained engaged in dissolution until well past 4 a.m. before at last getting to bed.

I have not had a good day today as a result. In fact, I have felt considerable despondence.

I rose this morning shortly after 8 a.m., and already my brother was watching T.V., so I don't know when he rose. He had an ICBC appointment scheduled for something like 11:50 a.m. to see about a mandated restriction of his driver's licence.

I joined him around 8:30 a.m. to see if he would invite me to again put our Android TV Box to work, but he seemed content with his morning news programmes, so I betook myself back to my bedroom until near 9 a.m., finally getting that invitation.

I led things off with Odessa Orlewicz's 27-minute (27:51) video published yesterday: New Government/Think Tank Document Shows Posible Collapse Of Canada Coming. 2024 Policy Horizons Report.

Here is what WEF's darling Kristel Van der Elst's team that created the 2024 Policy Horizons Report for Canada sees could or will happen to Canada soon:

- Scarcity of food for a massive portion of the population.

-An EXPANSION of geoengineering to "block the sun."

- No more unity among residents.

- Violence.

- Augmented humans put a strain on healthcare.

-Increase In disease.

-Complete collapse of our healthcare

....and more fun things.

This is what they meant by "Build Back Better."

Then it was a 41-minute (41:10) video published earlier today to Rumble's C3RF channel: C3RF "In Hot" interview with analyst Julius Ruechel.

Major Russ Cooper (Ret'd) goes in-depth on Julius Ruechel's magnum opus, "Plunderers of the Earth". Forget about "climate change" being driven by a one-off flooding of the atmosphere by industrial-age CO2. There is much more involved here as revealed by Ruechel's unprecedented and authoritative research into the geological, astronomical, agricultural, political and even evolutionary factors at play with rising CO2 levels. Obscured by censorship and fraudulent, cherry-picked data, the truth of the matter is a far cry from what Canadians are being spoon-fed by their betters and talking heads in direct contravention of our Charter right to have access to information that impacts our lives.

When that video was done, my brother retired to his bedroom for some further bed rest, so I tuned in a 19-minute (19:10) video published yesterday at Rumble's A Warrior Calls channel: Massive TRUTH on Specific Jews Worldwide Destroying Everything An Amazing Speech from War Veteran!

My wife had another full workday today, so she rose around 9:20 a.m., and was on her fairly long drive no more than a half hour later.

After I had watched the last-mentioned video, I had my day's first meal, and was still seated here at my computer when my brother emerged from his bedroom and soon left for his appointment.

I had a nap that left me feeling unpleasant (along with the despondence), and although it seemed that my brother may not yet have returned home, it was a fully sunny day that I could not pass up sunning in.

And so beginning no later than 2:27 p.m., I put in a minimum of 66 minutes out in the backyard. It did not seem all that hot out there, but I did sweat rather plentifully.

When I returned into the house, my brother's van was back, but he had left and probably bused off to do some drinking somewhere.

Note that just before I began sunning, my wife texted me to ask that I transfer her the $700 from my pension money that I had weakly acquiesced to yielding to her, but I must ensure that I impress upon her that it is the very final relinquishment of any big numbers of dollars that she is going to bleed me for. As I have said, if I can get through September to my next directly deposited monthly pension, it is going to be entirely mine ─ she can forget about preying upon me to fund any of her selfish projects.

I needed the degree of emotional connectedness that is impossible in my present life, so early this evening I resorted to a Christmas movie and the drinking it would allow me ─ despite the toll watching a Christmas movie presented after I watched one just two evenings ago.

I selected 2017's Runaway Christmas Bride, and I watched it here on my bedside computer at this link at M4uHD.net, and it played through perfectly.

Honestly, I believed that I had likely seen it before, but my research came up blank of indictment, or even a mention.

And even though I was not drawn to the described plot ─ it sounded potentially farcical ─ I gambled and was to find myself with an emotionally whelming production that I do not hesitate to recommend if you love romantic Christmas movies.

Even when there is not a child to be seen!

Lead actress Cindy Busby had a familiar look to her, but I suspect that it was just that sort of almost chubby, baby-faced, blonde-haired and blue eyed look. Sure, it is possible that I've come across her work before as listed on Wikipedia, but nothing at all stands out with my cursory check.

Initially she seemed 'type cast' against the role, but I quickly gravitated to her ─ and came to love her character. It's pretty keen that she is maybe around three years older than her brawny male lead in the movie!

Yeah, I'd go for her if I was exposed to the actress for any length of time in a wholesome, nostalgic setting ─ Hell, for any sort of length of time!

I had noticed in the opening credits that the supporting actress Fiona Bloom might be favourably known to me from at least one more leading role in a Christmas movie, and I did immediately recognize her as the too officious resort hotel manager.

Happily, she was never fully villainous ─ actually, nobody was unrepentant, despite how they might have initially seemed.

Fiona can actually very effectively play one hot trim gal! Just having that nearly forgotten past impression of her made me sympathetic to her character ─ and her sexuality.

I also thought that the actress portraying the lead actress's sister was pretty hot, but I cannot identify her name, alas. It sucks when casting rosters of movies only go by bloody first names for characters ─ how am I to remember the lead actress's character's sister's first name when I cannot even recall the main character's first name?

Lord, that's confusing to write.

Anyway, yes, I enjoyed the movie, and swilled away three cans of Cariboo Malt and one of Bumper Crop cider (7% alcohol). I have to hope that my fairly small earlier supper is not going to confound me, for I want to rise at 1:30 a.m. to ready and put in a five-mile+ walk.

My brother returned home at 9:17 p.m. as I typed this late post, and suggested the weather may deteriorate.

Darned, I did not realize that my movie and drinking ran this late ─ perhaps there will be consequences.

At present it is 9:34 p.m., so I am going to shut everything down and get to bed.
