Safety Dance

My conjecture in yesterday's post was correct ─ I was not undergoing a speedy recovery from the respiratory affliction that I first noticed besetting me last Thursday afternoon. As speculated, the infection was about to undergo a surging conquest of me last night.

I slept badly, but apart from a couple or so bathroom breaks, I remained in bed until my 6 a.m. cellphone alarm summoned me.

The first thing I did was undergo a 10-minute nebulizer session with hydrogen peroxide ─ a strong instant coffee and aspirin were going to have to wait.

The denouement of all of this is that I never went grocery shopping ─ I was too downtrodden by this germ or whatever had me. Forget about any morning backyard tool shed exercising!

I suppose that this afternoon ─ a sunny one, by the way ─ I could have handled some pull-ups and chin-ups out in the backyard tool shed, but I never had a midday nap; and besides, my wife did not have to work until the latter part of today, leaving here around 3:15 p.m. on her fairly long drive.

Apparently she never had a word to say to me, so I returned the favour and avoided her.

I just have no heart for exercising, so this is my second consecutive day of laying off entirely. I dare not have a third such day, though.

My younger brother was tardy rising this morning, not emerging from his bedroom until something like 9:15 a.m., by which time I had possession of the T.V. under power of our Android TV Box. So when he joined me, I led things off with a 23-minute (23:07) video published yesterday to Rumble's Libertytalkcanada channel: Epstein Killed Someone According To Email Dump; A Royal Confirms He Had A Son...

Then it was a 17-minute (17:57) video published earlier today to BitChute's Progressive Truth Seekers channel: Melinda Gates SPEAKS OUT On Epstein FILES - REFUSES To Exonerate Bill.

Melinda French Gates spoke out for the first time since the release of Epstein files that contained mentions of her ex-husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

In an interview with NPR's "Wild Card" podcast on Tuesday, Melinda French Gates said she felt "unbelievable sadness" seeing her ex-husband's name mentioned in the new batch of files released on Friday by the Justice Department.

"Whatever questions remain there... for those people, and for even my ex-husband, they need to answer to those things, not me," she said. "And I am so happy to be away from all the muck that was there."

"No girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him. No girl," she added. "I mean, it's just... it's beyond heartbreaking. I remember being those ages those girls were. I remember my daughters being those ages."

Bill Gates was one of several of the world's richest and most prominent men mentioned in the millions of files released by the Justice Department on Friday in connection with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a series of emails from 2013 that Epstein sent to himself, he appeared to suggest that Bill Gates was having an extramarital affair and seeking illicit drugs.

In a statement to NBC News, a spokesperson for Bill Gates denied the allegations. "These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false," the statement said. "The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame."

In one of the emails, Epstein wrote that he had decided to resign from a role he had with the Gates Foundation and BG3, a think tank founded by Bill Gates, because he got "caught up in a severe martial dispute between Melinda and Bill."

"I have the greatest respect for my friend of 7 years, and wish them both well," Epstein wrote.

With multiple typos, Epstein wrote of his relation ship with Gates: "In my role as his right hand I had been asked on mulitple occassion and in hindsight , wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate , to the ethically unsound and had been repeatedly asked to do other things that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal."

Epstein described those activities as "helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trysts, with married women,to being asked to provide adderal."

Melinda and Bill Gates were married for 27 years before they divorced in 2021. She later said that her ex-husband had an affair with a Microsoft staffer in 2019. She resigned from the Gates Foundation as its co-chair in 2024. Bill Gates admitted to the affair in a statement to The New York Times in 2021 and told NBC News last year, "I have responsibility for causing a lot of pain to my family."

Next I tuned in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ─ episode 10 ("Leap") of season six.

And we finished with the better than an hour of the movie we cut from yesterday. It was 2016's Goldstone. A few months back we had watched the 2013 prequel Mystic Road, so now I reckon we'll be watching the series in due course.

I had previously downloaded Goldstone, but I no longer remember my source. However, I see that it is available at this YouTube link, if interested.

As already said, I never napped, though I did lie down while awaiting my brother's finished bed rest, for he was going to undergo a beer run to the government liquor store two miles hence and I was determined to go.

My wife was newly up and had gone downstairs to the kitchen before I began my rest.

Suffice to say that the trip was accomplished, and Bev went along as well. I now have 24 cans of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) and a four-litre box of Sommet Rouge wine (12% alcohol).

After we had gotten back home, because I already had another unopened box of wine, I was going to offer to my wife shared ownership of whichever one I opened, thus allowing her to have it to look forward to when she got back home tonight.

But she was in the bathroom.

Thereafter when she continued bypassing my bedroom wordlessly as I sat here at my bedside computer, I decided to keep to myself, since this seemed her desire.

Yet it hurt when she left never having said aught to me.

The anodyne for me is of course to lose myself in some T.V. entertainment here on my bedside computer while indulging in a little alcohol.

Right now it is 5:51 p.m. and I have been squandering a lot of time seeking a download source for a movie that I afterwards have slowly been getting downloaded via the μTorrent Web BitTorrent client that I downloaded some weeks ago to facilitate such movie collection when I cannot find just a direct download.

I have just finished a light supper, so I am going to take a blogging break and watch a show and drink a beer. I will finish up this post in the latter evening.

⚫⚫⚫

My first show was Midnight, Texas ─ the season two and series finale episode ("Yasss, Queen"). My source was this GOOJARA.to link.

The Gay angel rot aside, the series had its moments, and this episode was certainly engrossing. What I can't believe is how large gorgeous actress Jaime Ray Newman can open her mouth ─ surely that was cinematic magic?

That woman is so damned hot I can barely believe the effect she had on me through the series.

Anyway, the episode finished just ahead of 7:30 p.m.

My next show was done by 8:42 p.m. It was The Carrie Diaries ─ episode six ("The Safety Dance") of the second season. My source was this CineGo.co link.

The "Carrie" character is an idiot ─ I weary so much of hearing her vacant-headed pontificating and philosophizing. I'm starting to realize that all of the other characters are more interesting than this vacant-brained moron.

But that took my second can of Cariboo Strong malt (7% alcohol).

My final show ─ and a minimum of eight ounces of red wine ─ ended at 9:28 p.m. 'Twas Entourage ─ episode six ("Busey and the Beach") of season one. My source was this TVSeries.video link.

I reckon I'm getting a little more accustomed to the four main male jerks ─ I've even become sympathetic for the movie star's older brother, a washed-up never-was who refuses to accept it.

Onto something else, this afternoon was the NFL Super Bowl game. I thought that my brother might remain home to watch the 3:30 p.m. competition, but Bev was on her own. He went off to watch it while social drinking.

Well, I suppose it may not have been quite 9:40 p.m. that I noticed Bev hauling herself up the stairs to their bedroom, having turned off the T.V., for as yet my brother had not returned. She was wearing some NFL team jersey.

Her white wine probably went down more liberally than usual, and she couldn't bear any more ─ nor whatever might be in store with my drunken brother's homecoming, for he was involved in some sort of Super Bowl pool.

Right now it is 10:16 p.m. and I finished brushing my teeth a short while ago. Perhaps I will soon retire; and reflecting back to The Carrie Diaries episode I watched, maybe I shall seek to imagine the "Samantha" character (played by Lindsey Gort) in her seductive nylons 'and little else' attire ─ you needed to have seen the episode!
