The Bear Is Chasing You

I believe that my 6 a.m. cellphone alarm did get me up this morning ─ what I cannot remember is if I was into slumber at the time.

It was raining; and betimes today I believe we have had further rain.

When it became light enough outside to exercise in the dark backyard tool shed, I got that done. I managed my latest highs in repetitions for pull-ups and chin-ups on the sides of the child's slide ladder that I have stretched across some roof rafters, but I only managed those highs because they were a deliberate target achieved the last time or two that I exercised out there.

Thus: two sets of pull-ups (3-1 reps); two sets of chin-ups (2-2); and two sets of pull-ups between the ladder's two sides (2-1 reps), with the final pull-up's dead hang held for a 50-count.

And of course afterwards, I tackled the squat work for whatever good it may be doing for what I now believe is my right leg's subluxated patella and the arthrogenic muscular inhibition (AMI) of my quadriceps muscles.

March 1st will mark exactly a year that I have been disabled.

Anyway, I was back into the house just ahead of 8 a.m., and as yet my younger brother had not emerged from his bedroom for the morning, but that was to occur soon enough.

Once that happened, I waited until just after 9 a.m. ere joining him for some morning T.V. And once he quickly enough turned it over to me so that I could put our old T95X Android 9 TV Box to work, I led things off with a 19-minute (19:10) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's AnitaK channel: How to Treat a Pesky TV Reporter!

A lively exchange with CTV’s Vassy Kapelos, where Jeffrey Rath refuses to back down from a misguided, aggressive line of questioning that many viewers will recognize as classic mainstream media framing.

Rather than conceding ground, Rath pushes back, challenges assumptions, and calls out the narrative — turning what was meant to be a “gotcha” interview into a moment that exposes how political movements outside the approved consensus are treated by MSM.

I also talk a bit about Jeffrey Epstein.

Then we watched a great episode of This Is Us ─ episode 11 ("Songbird Road: Part One") of season three. Maybe tomorrow I'll tune in the next episode instead of waiting a few weeks.

Thereafter we finished the horror movie we had suspended watching yesterday ─ 2006's Feeding Grounds. My source was uploaded May 28, 2015, to YouTube's Kings of Horror channel: Feeding Grounds | FREE Full Horror Movie.

It was badly made ─ the video quality was poor, and the audio inferior as well. I just don't know if that is due to a poor copy of the original movie, or if this was the original quality.

Unfortunately, the very next item that came up was yet another bad movie, judging by the opening scenes ─ 2011's Found Footage. My brother wanted nothing further to do with this sort of bad movie-making, so I tuned out. I have no plans to watch it on my own. You can find it on YouTube ─ I never made note of my source.

We finished with a movie we are both suspicious we have already watched, breaking from it today so my brother could get more bed rest. I have researched it, and am fully certain we have indeed already seen it, so I am not going to pursue it ─ I will explain its outcome to my brother tomorrow, and that will likely suffice for him.

The movie was 2007's Fracture.

Time has run away on me, for this was a bath day, and I also crammed in some light exercising in my wife's vacant bedroom. She had a full workday today.

I am going to break from blogging because I want to watch some T.V. shows here on my beside computer and have a little drink as well. I have just finished a very light supper, my day's second meal. When stripped down for that bath, I was around 182 pounds despite eating so meagrely.

Back soon ─ it is now 7:39 p.m.

🞅🞅🞅🞅🞅🞅

First up was Madame Secretary ─ episode six ("The Call") of the first season. My source was this TVSeries.video link.

These episodes are always better than I keep expecting, and this one was possibly topmost thus far.

Thus went my first can of Cariboo Strong malt (7% alcohol).

My second show was Betrayal ─ episode two ("...Except When the Bear Is Chasing You") of the only season. My source was this CineGo.co link.

Thus far it is a darned absorbing series, but it does make me uncomfortable, having been involved in adultery years ago ─ over 30 years, which were long, long before I was ever married.

And so a second can of beer.

Upon pouring meself a glass tumbler (about eight ounces) of Sommet Rouge wine (12% alcohol), I tuned in Trollied ─ episode three ("The Marathon") of the first season or series. My source was this M4ufree.cx link.

I somewhat enjoy the episodes, but I have yet to come close to cracking even the slightest smile. How this series ran for seven seasons is curious, but maybe things improve?

At most, it was 10:28 by the time the episode finished, and I discerned that my wife was home from work. I then opened my bedroom door when the show was done, yet she passed by my room a couple of times sans a word to me.

I took the time to brush my teeth here in my darkened bedroom with the door ajar by about six inches ─ the chore takes maybe 15 minutes; and by the time I was done, my wife was shut up behind her closed bedroom door.

It is 11:20 p.m., so I am going to call it quits for today and soon get to bed.
