Deep Dark

My 6 a.m. cellphone alarm summoned me to commence my morning; and although I anon went forth to the backyard tool shed to have my usual exercises and was back into the house comfortably ahead of 8 a.m., my younger brother was already watching T.V.

The shed session was the usual single repetition in all six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups, followed by the squat work for my damaged right knee's sake.

It was raining seriously out there. In truth, had this been Sunday morning, I would not have likely dared the two-mile or so round trip shopping hobble I tackled yesterday, even though I prefer that sort of weather when I venture on foot from home.

I was correct yesterday about what I overheard my youngest stepson declaring to my brother and Bev as the young man headed out the door early last evening. He did indeed say he was not returning until Friday, but he never said where he was going or what was happening.

With him absent, I had a couple of projects in mind that require access to the den area that he has made his living quarters. So this was most fortuitous where I am concerned ─ just be safe, lad!

As for morning T.V. with my brother when he invited me to begin operation of our old T95Q Android 9 TV Box around 9:12 a.m. or so, I started us off with a 17-minute (17:45) video uploaded earlier today to YouTube's AnitaK channel: Hormuz and the Gas Price Game: Are We Being Played?

I followed that with a 37-minute (37:10) video published yesterday to BitChute's Progressive Truth Seekers channel: Donald Trump Sends 2,500 Marines Into DEATH TRAP - As Iran WIPES OUT U.S. Bases.

Danny Haiphong

Scott Ritter is a former Major, Intelligence Officer, U.S. Marine, and UN Weapons Inspector. 

Ritter breaks down Donald Trump's Marine deployment and where it will lead. As Iran seizes the initiative toward victory against the United States and Israeli invasion. Donald Trump desperately wants an "EXIT" to save, Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel.

And then I thought that we would watch the episode of a T.V. series we follow that I had downloaded yesterday because none of the remaining four streaming apps that are in our Android TV Box had any working links.

Wouldn't you just know that I had downloaded a damned Spanish-dubbed version!

So instead we watched more of the movie we had begun yesterday, but we had to suspend it yet again so my brother could return to his bedroom for more bed rest ─ the movie tops 2⅔ hours!

For some reason I never rose from my early afternoon nap until around 2:30 p.m. Perhaps I started it after 1 p.m. Whatever the case, I have felt inadequately slept ever since ─ even my eyes are burning.

And so my afternoon has rather been a washout ─ that pair of projects in my stepson's den area are not going to get looked at today.

However, I at least did force myself to have my usual light exercising session in my wife's vacant bedroom, accessing it around 3:15 p.m. She had a full workday today at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, so she emerged from her bedroom towards 9:45 a.m. to shower and such and drive away in the rain on her fairly long haul.

I never heard her come home last night, for I went to bed before she got here. I am sure she knows her son's whereabouts, but she and I have yet to speak with one another since his exit.

And speaking of not speaking, Bev and I have had no occasion to speak with one another today. I avoid going downstairs when she is up from bed in the early afternoon to watch T.V. for the remainder of the day. Late in the afternoon I heard her sneak outside for one of her smoke breaks, so I took that opportunity to fetch my day's second and final meal, as well as an envelope that had come in the mail and was left on the living room coffee table.

Now I have no further need to be going downstairs.

It is presently 5:56 p.m. and I have eaten that meal, so I am going to break from blogging now and watch my usual three evening T.V. shows here on my bedside computer, allowing myself some drinking for enhancement's sake ─ the sole highlight of each and every one of my pathetic days.

My show and first can of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) were done by 6:58 p.m., but it could have been finished 20 minutes earlier. I had suspended the episode because I had gotten a text from my youngest stepson ─ last night he had flown to Ontario.

We had several text exchanges.

Then I went downstairs to alert Bev, who already knew that he had gone to Ontario ─ she just had not shared the information with my brother yesterday after he got back home from his daily social drinking.

And now the lad says he'll be back on Sunday. That leaves me an extra couple of days to try and get at either or both of those projects mentioned before.

Anyway, the show was FBI ─ episode 19 ("Partner") of season seven. My source was this TVSeries.video link.

Very exciting episode!

My second beer and show were done by 8:09 p.m. The show was FBI: Most Wanted ─ the premiere episode ("Aquarium Drinker") of season six. My source was this M4uFree.cx link.

A good episode, again. It's just that neither episode much touched me ─ I merely spectated, and was not involved in what unfolded.

Evidently my brother returned during the episode from wherever he had been social drinking.

My final show was Blood Ties ─ the series and season two finale episode 10 ("Deep Dark").

How disappointing not to know our heroine's choice between the two men in her life because there was to be no season three.

I had begun watching the series at one source and noticed at least three times into the 17th minute that there seemed to be scenes that were skipped or at least shortened. So I paused the video and saw that the whole thing only ran for something over 39 minutes. This would have been the shortest episode of the entire series ─ and the series finale, no less?

Something was fishy.

I tried other website sources ─ many; and they all seemed to be using the same abbreviated episode.

Then I struck upon this link at Weflix.to, and its video was shown to top 45 minutes. And not only that, the video quality was sharp ─ all of the others were washed out, like old colour photographs.

But fairly early into the new source, my computer froze with that typical dreadful loud buzzing sound, forcing me to shut it down and end the debacle. When this happens, the reload can take a dozen or more minutes to be entirely complete, so I played a Microsoft FreeCell game as soon as the icon for it appeared.

The remainder of the video played through with no issue. Nevertheless, I struggled not to fetch something more than the 11 or so ounces of Sommet Rouge wine (12% alcohol) that I had poured for the episode. A drink can only be stretched for a reasonable amount of time, and this was exceeding it.

Possibly part of the computer freeze was due to how many tabs I had open in total on the three browsers I had open ─ probably well over 20 tabs. And other software as well were  open.

Most especially, since maybe just before noon, I had been using μTorrent to agonizingly slowly download a movie onto a USB stick. Fortunately I discovered that the computer shutdown and restart did not interrupt the download, but here at 10:15 p.m. it is still only 25% finished. I cannot ever remember such a slow download! I will have to go to bed tonight and leave my computer running.

As for the season finale episode of Blood Ties, it finished at 9:38 p.m. Since I knew the series was based upon a series of novels, I researched and learned that Vicki Nelson ultimately chose her mortal former police partner as her lifelong love.

I shall have to research and see what else main actress Christina Cox and supporting actress Gina Holden have acted in ─ I do not want this to be the end of enjoying either of them.

I am now going to brush my teeth, and then start wrapping up and maybe getting to bed before 11:30 p.m. Right now it is 10:36 p.m.
