No 6 a.m. alarm was necessary this morning, for after being awake some while, I checked the time at 5:43 a.m. and chose to rise then ─ why not?

I had gotten to bed last evening just before 11 p.m., but I still felt lacking this morning.

For once I left the Android TV Boxes alone now that I know why the R69 Plus Android 14 TV Box was not recognizing the internet cable. My youngest stepson had thought that some outside Wi-Fi account was siphoning off the Telus fibre optic internet data, and so he used some sort of remote-like device to block the outsider ─ but it was the Android TV Box, and I spent the last week or more pointlessly trying everything I could to regain the internet connection, including doing a factory reset on the Box.

My early backyard tool shed exercise session was the usual single repetition in all six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups, followed by the squat work to strengthen my crippled right leg.

My younger brother was not to emerge from his bedroom until well past 9 a.m., so I ensured that I had possession of the T.V. under the control of the Android TV Box by then. I even had a bit of time to find and download two further apps: SmartTube and Rumble. I didn't really want Rumble due to its ads, but I just could not recall the name of the app allowing access without ads to several platforms like Rumble and BitChute ─ I now know it was Grayjay that I could not recall. I could remember "jay" but nothing else.

When my brother joined me, I started us off with a 13-minute (13:37) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's AnitaK channel: When the media radicalizes the left.

The next video was barely over three minutes (3:05), and had been published April 23 to Rumble's Sunfellow On COVID-19 channel: Kennedy Gives Johnson Data That Reveals How HHS, CDC & FDA Hid COVID Vaccine Death & Injuries.

The video description is far to long to merit reproduction here. I will only say that "Johnson" is Senator Ron Johnson.

Staying with Rumble, I next tuned in a 17-minute (17:55) video published yesterday to the Libertytalkcanada channel: Carney Announces SHAM To Steal Canadian's Wealth In Attempt To Save Lib Sinking Ship!

Gone Viral on Twitter: A Desperate "Investment" Sham Has Just Been Announced By Mark Carney & Is Being Compared To The Infrastructure Bank Fund DISASTER. He Actually Thinks Canadians Are This Dumb!! A Must See Warning For All Canadians.

For about the past three days I had been seeking a specific episode of Juliet Bravo ─ episode 14 ("Oscar") of season or series one. I did locate the episode at YouTube, but it had been uploaded December 3, 2024, and was the second episode in a video containing four back-to-back episodes at the Maya Douglas channel: [[🅽🅴🆆] Juliet Bravo✨🎬 Full Episodes 2024 ✨🎬| Episodes 4 | Coins.

So I tuned in that one episode.

To be honest, my brother and I never understood if there was any resolution to the story in the episode of the dysfunctional family. We sure would have appreciated subtitles.

We finished our viewing with the last half or so of the documentary we had gotten into yestermorn. At 58 minutes (58:09), it had been published July 24, 2019, to BitChute's Adaneth channel: The Mystery of Rome's X Tomb.

A 2013 History Documentary hosted by Michael Scott. 

Historian Dr. Michael Scott unlocks the secrets of a mysterious tomb recently discovered in one of Rome's famous catacombs. Found by accident following a roof collapse, the tombs contained over 2,000 skeletons piled on top of each other. This was quite unlike any other underground tomb seen in Rome. They are located in an area of the catacombs marked as 'X' in the Vatican's underground mapping system - hence the name The X Tombs. Michael Scott joins Profs Dominique Castex and Philippe Blanchard, head of a team of French archaeologists with experience of investigating mass grave sites. 

Carbon dating the bodies suggest they died from the late 1st century AD to the early 3rd century AD, which would mean these people lived and died during Rome's golden age. The remains of an early Medieval fresco were found on the wall sealing the tomb suggesting this could be the last resting place of a group of unknown Christian martyrs. But the bones don't show the signs of physical trauma you would expect after a violent death. The bodies were a mixture of men and women, most of them late-teenagers and young adults. They were placed in the tombs with great care, packed in head to foot. Further clues suggest they were laid to rest after a series of mass death events. This raises the idea they may have died from disease. The streets of Ancient Rome were like an open sewer and the famous roman baths were also a breeding ground for infection. DNA expert and palaeogeneticist Johannes Krause is called in to try to identify what disease may have killed them. Meanwhile, the French team uncover further clues to the identity of the people. They find cultural connections with Northern Africa. Was this a wealthy immigrant community? Or a select group of Ancient Rome's elite?

Thereafter my brother sought further bed rest, and towards 12:30 p.m. I was after my nap. However, just as yesterday, though I napped and was in bed only an hour, I felt unpleasant. The same sensation was with me ─ i.e., if I was prone to headaches, I likely would have developed one.

We have now had two consecutive days of overcast skies. And this morning, we even had some light rain that may have carried over into the midday.

My wife had a full workday today at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, so before mid-afternoon I was in her vacant bedroom having my usual light afternoon exercise session.

I have been feeling rather 'stressed out' this afternoon ─ I am craving a financially independent life and as much complete solitude as I may choose to have. And almost above all I wish that Bev had a bloody life and was not sitting in the living room each and every day all afternoon and evening watching T.V.

I need my blogging break so that I can start on some beer and watch the first of the usual three T.V. shows here on my bedside computer. 'Tis 5:17 p.m.

ℱ𝓊𝒸𝓀, I feel stressed!

⚫⚫⚫

I enjoyed a can of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) while watching Harlots ─ episode five of season or series three. My source was this OK.ru link.

Some extra heavy happenings in this one! I enjoyed it.

My second beer was done just before my second show was. And although The 100 ─ episode five ("Welcome to Bardo") of season seven ─ was excessively confusing due to the constant time-jumping, a technique I rather despise, it was quite exciting almost throughout; and once I was even touched emotionally.

My source was at M4uFree.cx, and the episode was done by 7:26 p.m. In short order, I recognized that at some point my brother had gotten home from wherever he had bused in the early afternoon to social drink.

After brushing my teeth, and then pouring about 12 ounces of Chile's Vivo Reserva white wine (12½% alcohol) into a glass, I tuned in Van Helsing ─ episode seven ("Metamorphosis") of season four. This time my source was at CineGo.co.

A good episode. 𝖳𝗁𝖾 𝖾𝗆𝖻𝗈𝖽𝗂𝗆𝖾𝗇𝗍 𝗈𝖿 𝗍𝗐𝗂𝗌𝗍𝖾𝖽 𝖾𝗏𝗂𝗅 was beautifully depicted. Although nothing about the episode was touching, it brought near my old longing to be a mighty soldier and champion against evil.

But of course I grew old, crippled ... and abandoned of and by God.

The show was done by 8:55 p.m.

My wife does not likely have to work tomorrow ─ or if she does, not until the latter afternoon. Either way, when she gets home later this evening or overnight, she will not likely be rising until midday or even the early afternoon.

I feel little inclination to be sitting up awaiting her.

Right now it is p.m., so I am going to start finishing up whatever I have open here on my computer and betake myself to bed. That process may well take me to 10:30 p.m., for I hardly feel inclined for bed quite yet.
