Mingle Pisay

My 6 a.m. alarm actually roused me ─ and reluctantly, for I was not keen on rising. But I did.

There was to be no morning exercise ─ even tokenly ─ for I wanted nothing to jeopardize my chances of going on the half-mile hobble to the closest market, No Frills, that opens at 8 a.m.

All proceeded pretty much as planned, and I was on my way barely a few minutes ahead of 8 a.m., finding the sky overcast, but all was pretty much dry (so no too recent rains).

The shopping was uneventful, as was the walk, for I never had to coincide with anyone during the trip.

And I was back home before anyone else had yet risen.

My younger brother had said yesterday that any football games of interest to him would be aired today, so I had written off watching any morning T.V. with him. And although I grew enormously sleepy by 9 a.m. (he had still not emerged from his bedroom), I sought to remain up until 10 a.m. to ensure that if my wife had a full workday today at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, I would have water boiled for her morning beverage.

My brother was to soon come forth from his bedroom; and under other circumstances I would have been downstairs already in full possession of the T.V. with our Android TV Box set to play videos for us, but on football days he generally has something of interest scheduled for 10 a.m.

As that hour approached and it was apparent that my wife was not having to go to work this morning, I went downstairs and gathered up what was going to be my first meal of the day. I was just hobbling up the stairs with it, bound for my bedroom and my bedside computer, when my brother voiced behind me that I could "put something on" because there wasn't a morning football game of interest to him.

With that being so, I left my meal here in my bedroom and went back downstairs.

Although I had no idea on the video's length, the one I had chosen to play had been uploaded two days ago to Rumble's Vaccine Safety Research Foundation channel: Episode 196: Politically Incorrect Science (REPLAY).

We are thrilled to welcome back our dear friend, the brilliant Dr. Jessica Rose, PhD, to VSRF Live this Thursday! It’s been a while, and we have a lot of catching up to do.

Dr. Rose is a Canadian researcher with an academic journey that spans Applied Mathematics, a Master’s in Immunology, and a PhD in Computational Biology. She went on to complete two postdoctoral fellowships—one in Molecular Biology and another in Biochemistry—and was also selected for a senior researcher program at the prestigious Weizmann Institute.

Over the past several years, Jessica has become known for her groundbreaking work analyzing the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), where she has worked tirelessly to make this complex and often-overlooked dataset accessible to the public. Her fearless pursuit of truth has made her one of the most incisive voices in vaccine science today.

This week, she will join us to discuss the peer review process, influence, and corruption in scientific publishing—issues she has been shining a light on for years. She’ll also share updates on her latest research, including a new paper with Kevin McKernan and David Speicher.

And of course, we’ll get Jessica’s timely reaction to Monday’s announcement from the White House and HHS regarding the causes of autism—perspectives certain to spark thought and discussion.

This is a must-watch episode for anyone committed to research integrity, vaccine science, and the urgent conversations around autism. Dr. Jessica Rose doesn’t hold back—and neither should you. Join us live for what promises to be an illuminating and essential conversation!

The video was to exceed 1½ hours (1:37:14), bringing us well past 11:30 a.m., so my brother then returned to his bedroom for further bed rest.

I ate my meal; then my wife rose before I had yet returned to bed for my needed nap. It was probably after 1 p.m. when I finally did.

Unbeknownst to me, my brother decided to replenish his beer supply and get another four-litre box of the white wine Bev drinks. I did not expect this, for he had around nine cans on hand. Had I known he was planning this, I would have eaten earlier and napped earlier, for he was gone when I rose from it.

I'm not yet in dire need, but I like to be comfortably ahead of such a state. And now it could be as late as Thursday before my brother's next beer run.

Ahead of mid-afternoon, the sky unexpectedly cleared up enough that I could have sat out in the backyard experiencing some sunshine had I been game, but with my wife home and me with no scheduling of any sunning, I never took advantage. I had been additionally fooled by hearing some of a morning T.V. weather report that we are due rain tonight. Thus, a sunny mid-afternoon was not in my thinking.

As for my wife, I heard her head out the front door at 3:08 p.m. ─ off to work, apparently, but with no word to me.

My brother had not remained home after his resupply of beer, leaving on foot for a bus to go social drinking for a few hours. If he had a football game in mind, it was certainly a later game than I imagined.

Right now it is 4:06 p.m. and I am going to break from blogging until after mid-evening. I want to have some light exercising in my wife's vacant bedroom, and then I will be tuning in a couple of shows here on my bedside computer to drink a couple of Cariboo Malts (7.9% alcohol) with.

Jeepers, I still have such good feelings anytime I reflect back to that Christmas movie I watched early yesterday evening that I am tempted to gamble on being able to luck out on another excellent feature, but as yet this is only a thought.

I want to rise at 3 a.m. to go to the nearby elementary school playground for some sets of pull-ups and chin-ups even if it is raining, so I cannot have a late evening ... nor too much drink over its course.

Well, I did watch a Christmas movie ─ 2018's Mingle All the Way. And I hugely enjoyed it!

I started it out at this OK.ru link, but the video quality was too blurry. So I quickly switched over to the sharp presentation at this uFLIX.to link.

Through the earliest part of the movie I ate my meagre supper, my second meal of the day. But there was still well over an hour of movie remaining, and a beer would not suffice, so I led off with a shot of Jim Beam Black Extra-Aged Bourbon (43% alcohol).

The booze was a Christmas or even a birthday gift from my two stepsons ─ maybe even back in 2023; so I do reluctantly ─ guiltily ─ take of it. But I am lame and cannot walk far to purchase some cheaper booze substitute.

The movie's lead actress was Jen Lilley. She is unknown to me, but I sure liked her in this movie. She reminded me of possibly two other actresses, but I don't feel up to immersing myself into the struggle of figuring out exactly who right now.

And I see now that her name pops up in my Blogger "labels", so clearly I have watched her in something before ─ most likely an earlier Christmas movie.

Her character's best friend as played by actress Sandy Sidhu was definitely eye-catching. Wide-eyed babes are so darned alluring!

Incidentally, I am never big on the male actors in Christmas movies, but I liked the lead (Brant Daugherty) in this movie. He seemed a natural and a good guy.

The movie finished before my brother was yet home, but I heard him come into the house at 7:35 p.m.

Of course it was far too early to be thinking of going to bed, so another show was in store ─ something to which a second can of beer would be sufficient.

So I tuned in Doom Patrol ─ episode 10 ("Hair Patrol") of the first season. It was certainly a complicated but constantly interesting episode. My source was this GOOJARA.to link.

I was rather intrigued by the hairy primitive woman that character "Niles Caulder" spent mating with for three or so years in the Yukon wilderness during the approach of World War I. Despite her beard and everything else, she looked to have decently attractive features, so I researched who she was.

I vaguely remember her now from Z Nation ─ actress Pisay Pao.

Yeah, even if she was rather hairy, I would love snuggling up with this lady for however long she wanted.

Heck, I've got to get to bed.

My wife got home a little before 10 p.m., and I also heard some rain around the same time that does not seem necessarily to have exactly ceased. That school playground is not going to be dry ... but will it be raining then and impossible to wipe the equipment dry?

Enough ─ it is 10:12 p.m.
