A Gifted Man

I did not require my 3 a.m. alarm, as it developed. Perhaps around 2:10 a.m. I checked the time as I rose to use the toilet; and although I did return to bed, I quickly enough decided not to waste the early opportunity, for I did not feel too poorly slept.

And the sooner my errand to deposit my younger brother's monthly expenses cheque was complete, the sooner I could get back to bed.

Well, that didn't really happen, for I managed to dawdle such that it was already after 3:30 a.m. when I finally got away. I even stopped at the elementary school playground to test myself at pull-ups and chin-ups.

I was pathetic. Sure, dressed as I was I probably weighed close to or even 195 pounds, but achieving even a single pull-up in any set was practically too much to expect.

I don't know what I can do about this. I need to live where I can get outside in the daytime in full privacy, and have proper exercise equipment like true chin-ups bars and dipping bars that I can use without passersby intruding or people just loitering.

I need to live far from here.

Anyway, I got the deposit and the approximate two-mile round trip done, but I sure do wish that the damned sturdy rental fence around the elementary school was gone, for it is forcing me to have to walk all the way around the school property instead of cutting through it as the substantial shortcut that this possibility used to afford when going to and back from my financial institution's nearest ATM.

Back home, further dawdling resulted in me not returning to bed until ─ I believe ─ after 6 a.m. Rather than risk sleeping in, I set my cellphone alarm for 8 a.m., and that proved adequate for my morning's needs. I was back up before my brother emerged from his bedroom for the morning.

When I joined him for some morning T.V. around 9:10 a.m. and he soon invited me to commence operation of our R69 Plus Android 14 TV Box, I realized that I did not have a means of watching any BitChute videos. Since the three browser apps are practically useless because of the inconsistency of the remote and mini-keyboard I have to use with this Android TV Box ─ they make negotiating highly problematic, and sometimes the Android TV Box stops responding to them at all and I have to unplug it to restart it because it freezes so badly I cannot even turn it off with the remote.

This afternoon I downloaded the Grayjay app strictly for BitChute and Rumble, so I reckon I'll find out tomorrow morning how it fares. Or was it one of the NewPipe app forks? I'll find out tomorrow (Bev has the T.V. for the day, so I can do nothing until tomorrow).

Unable to watch anything on BitChute this morning as I had intended, I instead tuned in a 16-minute (16:50) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's Juno News channel: Another Conservative MP CROSSES FLOOR to Liberals.

Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu has crossed the floor to join Mark Carney’s Liberals—sparking fierce backlash and raising serious questions about the state of Canadian democracy.

YouTuber J.J. McCullough joins Marc Patrone to explain why many Canadians are calling this wave of defections unprecedented and potentially dangerous.

I next tuned in Stephen Fry: Willem & Frieda – Defying the Nazis. My source was published March 27, 2024, to BitChute's Taurusman channel: WWII The Netherlands Willem & Frieda.

And we finished with The Adventures of Robin Hood ─ episode 19 ("The Brothers") of season or series one. However, my source at Rerun Century has it as episode 17.

It is already past 6:30 p.m. so I must break in order to watch two or three T.V. shows here on my bedside computer, for earlier I did have my light exercise session in my wife's vacant bedroom, and I have had a fairly light second and final meal of my day ─ my supper. I also had my midday nap, of course.

A can of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) and my first show were both done by 7:44 p.m. The show was Stargirl ─ episode 12 ("Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part One") of the first season. My source was this TVSeries.video link.

This one sure turned explosively action-filled at outset! Most entertaining indeed.

My second beer and show were done by 8:47 p.m. The show was, unfortunately, A Gifted Man ─ the series finale episode 16 ("In Case of Heart Failure") of its only season. My source was this MoviesJoyTV.co link.

Some things were certainly left unresolved; but most importantly, did the death of the woman who had received the main character's dead wife's heart, result in the ghost of his wife disappearing for good? Was it the living heart that had kept her essence around?

Deciding it to be early enough for another show ─ and desirous of a little further drink ─ I tuned in Legacies. Specifically, episode four ("Since When Do You Speak Japanese?") of season two.

I had seen following A Gifted Man that my brother was home from his social drinking at some point during the episode, and was passed out in his easy chair in the living room with Bev nearby watching T.V. on his behalf.

My source for the Legacies episode was this M4uHD.page link.

It was a very good episode. I have gotten to like all three of the young main lead characters and actresses. But I can barely believe that the good-looking cop played by actress Bianca Kajlich isn't also the actress on The 100 ─ I was certain it was her the previous episode or two of both series (for I am presently watching both series).

But it's Ivana Miličević acting in The 100 ─ weird how lookalike they are! Even so, Ivana is not quite three years the elder.

The show was done by 9:54 p.m., but obviously I needed drink to go with it. To my great delight, I managed to drain just about 11 if not even 12 ounces from the four-litre box of Sommet Rouge in my wife's bedroom.

It was my box of wine, but I have another yet unbroached ─ now I can leave it be for another day.

And when my wife gets home again ─ likely tomorrow afternoon or after she is done work late that evening ─ she can avail herself of the new box, though I may be indulging in it first tomorrow evening. We'll see.

By the way, too bad about the valiant samurai warrior in this episode of Legacies. He deserved to die fighting.

I am going to publish this post now at 10:30 p.m., brush my teeth, and get to bed ─ I hope not too very much past 11 p.m. Since I have no early plans for tomorrow, 6 a.m. will be my cellphone alarm setting.
