Devastating Bridget

My wife never came home last night ─ she usually does show up Tuesday nights following her workday at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, so she must have been partying again.

My day was as usual, however.

It began when I rose to my 6 a.m. cellphone alarm; and a little more than 1½ hours later I went forth to the backyard tool shed for the usual exercise session ─ a single repetition in each of the six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups, followed by the squat work to strengthen my damaged right knee and the quadriceps muscles.

I was wrong yesterday in predicting frost overnight, by the way.

Following the exercise, I fixed up a light first meal of my day that I ate here at my bedside computer, just as I have done my supper, which is my second and final meal of my day.

I believe that my younger brother may have emerged from his bedroom just ere 8:30 a.m. But as usual, I waited until after 9 a.m. before I joined him downstairs for some morning T.V.

Upon soon getting his invitation to begin operation of our old T95Q Android 9 TV Box, I led with a seven-minute (7:14) video uploaded earlier today to YouTube's AnitaK channel: Trump Takes Aim at Ilhan, "You Somali Pirates Ransacked Minnesota!"

That was followed by a seven-minute (7:47) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's OneBC channel: Dallas Brodie rips the Eby BC NDP budget.

This budget is a complete failure, and that’s because it is rooted in socialism. It's a mockery to even call it a budget - it really should be called "The Diary of a Shopping Addict."

And then despite its length of nearly three hours (2:52:20), I tuned in a video published yesterday to Rumble's The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast: Joe Rogan Experience #2459 - Jim Breuer.

Jim Breuer is a stand-up comedian, actor, and host of “The Breuniverse Podcast.” He is touring in 2026 with the “Find the Funny” tour.

The early part of the interview dealt with Jeffrey Epstein, but it graduated away to Joe's early involvement in stand-up comedy and acting ─ which was certainly interesting enough, but I wasn't prepared to spend the full remainder of the morning listening to the conversation when there was more of interest I had hoped to get into, so I tuned out after 53 minutes.

Unfortunately, we were to only have time for one further video. It was Shetland ─ episode six ("Blue Lightning – Part 2") of season or series two.

Earlier I had noticed that the app icons in our Android TV Box were in a different arrangement. They were still alphabetical, but the array was changed. I supposed that some new app had somehow gotten added ─ this occasionally happens. But I didn't waste time seeking to figure it out ─ I just got on with accessing and playing Anita Krishna's video.

Well, I intended to watch Shetland through the Nova TV app. However, when I opened it up, there was an available update, so I activated its download. All seemed to progress as it usually does; and once it was installed, the option ─ as always ─ is given of either leaving the download area or going directly to the app.

I of course chose the latter.

But instead, I was taken to the Android TV Box home screen.

I returned to the screen displaying the various app icons ... but Nova TV was gone. It was also gone from the lengthy list of apps in a section of the Settings area.

I knew that there was still a Nova TV apk elsewhere in a different area of the Android TV Box, so I went to it and two or three times attempted its installation; but just as with the update, everything seemed to go perfectly well until that final stage after installation when I am asked if I want to just stop there or have the app open up.

But it does not open ─ I am taken back to the home screen. And a search reveals no presence of Nova TV.

So I decided to use the Firefox app to use Google to find and download a new Nova TV app.

But the Firefox app was gone ─ I remembered yesterday that an update for it had been offered; and although I had no intention of using Firefox that day, I accepted the upload and installed it, thinking nothing further about it. Apparently, just as with the Nova TV app update today, installing the Firefox update seems to have deleted Firefox.

I can't figure it out. To watch Shetland, I used the BeeTV app. Tomorrow morning I will try to remember to unplug the Android TV Box for awhile before starting it up ─ I've read that this manoeuvre can inspire the device to do something of a reset and it might 'discover' wherever these two apps seem to be hidden, if indeed they are still in the Box at all.

Anyway, after Shetland my brother sought further bed rest; and around 12:15 p.m. I was back to bed for a needed nap. He of course was to bus away to go social drinking, whereas I would be creating two blogging posts ─ one is for my private blog, while this post is always my second and ongoing post that I finally complete late in the evening.

I also had my light exercise session after 3 p.m. in my wife's vacant bedroom.

Right now it is 6:14 p.m., and it is time to break from blogging and start watching the usual three T.V. shows I seek to cram in each evening here on my bedside computer ─ while doing a little drinking.

My life is so barren that this point of my day is its highlight, and the way of it day after day after day. This is my pointless life.

My first can of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) was devoted to FBI: International ─ episode 16 ("Little Angel") of season four. My source was this MovieGo.st link.

It was a good one, and rather touching at the end. Agents Amanda Tate and drunk Wesley "Wes" Mitchell could have trysted were they not such stellar moral characters (unlike the rest of us). 

The episode was done by 7:17 p.m.

My second beer and show were done by 8:21 p.m. The show was a very interesting and entertaining The Rookie ─ the seventh season finale episode 18 ("The Good, the Bad, and the Oscar"). My source was this TVSeries.video link.

Following her last appearance, I never wanted to see the "Monica" character again, but her overwhelmingly sexy strut in a slit skirt at episode's end was phenomenal ─ all I could do was wonder aloud how there can be women so bloody devastating as actress Bridget Regan.

But I sure do want the "Oscar" character put to death ─ he disgusts me.

Anyway, show number three finished at 9:40 p.m. It was Doom Patrol ─ episode five ("Finger Patrol") of season two. This time my source was an Fmovies.co link.

These episodes have dragged of late because of how silly and unrealistic they have become, but this was most certainly climaxed with overwhelming dreadfulness. Now I must wait a number of days ere the series moves back into its rightful rotational sequence.

I sure like "Baby Doll". I've needed someone like her all of my life, I think.

I could watch something else ─ a sitcom, perhaps. But that would require more drink, and I am presently just finishing off the 10 or so ounces of Sommet Rouge wine (12% alcohol) that I have poured into a glass to enjoy with Doom Patrol. I cannot just stand here and watch even a sitcom without alcoholic enhancement, but I dare not abuse my allotment as desperately afforded through my weak financial resources.

Last night when I had the consciousness to remember, I went online to determine if my monthly pension income had been directly deposited, and it had. My desperation was that my absent and likely partying wife would discover and plunder the new 'wealth'.

She had not, so I transferred the money over to my private account.

The experience likely adversely affected my sleep thereafter. Yet here it is at 10 p.m., and I durst not seek to retire and hope to remain abed until 6 a.m.

Perhaps I should try?

At any rate, I am going to begin finishing up the various browser tabs and apps that I presently have open. It always takes time, for I am active on this machine ─ I have so little true life.

I also must brush my teeth, so I will deal with that first.

Enough blogging for today. Bed by 11 p.m.?
