Citizen Vigilante

Although I rose at 5 a.m., I never went anywhere. My lack of financial confidence kept me from making the mile-long round trip hobble to do any grocery shopping because I know that I am going to be likely spending over $140 when next I go to the liquor store with my younger brother when he makes a beer run ─ he has six or seven cans in his supply, but I thought there would be a chance he would be going this afternoon.

However, I never fully decided against the grocery shopping until at least 7:30 a.m. (the store opens at 8 a.m.).

At least with all that earlier time on my hands I did do a little front yard garden watering, despite a fairly clouded sky ─ half of the watering that I would have normally done, for my wife apparently gave the other half a good drenching last night after she got home.

I don't know when that was, for I do not recall hearing her arrive home after I had gone to bed.

Because I had thought I would be making the hobble, I only engaged the half dozen sets of pull-ups and chin-ups out in the backyard tool shed, forsaking the squat work I am using to strengthen my crippled right knee and quadriceps. Of course, I put in  the 10 slow full-range push-ups in the kitchen area before going out to the backyard.

My brother was not to emerge from his bedroom this morning until 9:10 - 9:15 a.m., by which time I had assumed control of the T.V. and was all set to commence play via our R69 Plus Android 14 TV Box of an 18-minute video uploaded earlier today to YouTube's Moose on the Loose channel: Globe and Mail Drops Damning Report on Carney.

When that was done, I tuned in a controversial movie apparently released just this month and already supposedly banned in Germany: Citizen Vigilante. My source was published earlier today to BitChute's Jim Rizoli channel: Citizen Vigilante - Revenge Movie (When Justice is Denied), Banned In Europe, Jun 28, 2026.

I won't give away any of the movie, apart from stating that the vigilante character lacked morals. And even though he killed a lot of people throughout the short (under 1½ hours) movie, I had no real qualms about any of the deaths except for whoever happened to be in a car out in the country, if indeed anyone in the car did die when it was forced to leave the road due to an impromptu game of chicken by our vigilante that I found inexplicable and inexcusable ─ what if one or more kids were in the car?

My brother was complaining after the first hour that the movie was poorly produced; and when it was done, he claimed that it didn't even deserve a B-movie rating. I am considerably more forgiving.

I was expecting the main character to get killed off near the end because, as I said, he was not a likeable guy. So was he killed off? I will not say.

We finished up by watching another 10 minutes or so of a documentary we started maybe four days ago, but never got back to until this morning. We quit it again today so my brother could return to his bedroom for further bed rest because he wanted to watch ─ at noon ─ the scheduled FIFA match between Canada and South Africa (Canada was to win 1-0).

He had indicated that he was not planning on a drive to the liquor store two miles away until at least tomorrow, so I felt conscience-free to have a nap. But I wondered how I would be spending the later part of my day when I normally watch an episode each of the next three T.V. series on my list. Possibly I had sufficient Sommet Rouge red wine (12% alcohol) remaining in my four-litre box; and I do have nearly half a bottle of hard liquor as well. But if my brother did not make the trip tomorrow either, I would be getting into quite a fix where tomorrow evening was concerned.

I was probably in bed a bit over an hour, at least ─ so maybe even more. My brother was watching the game. Then at halftime he reported that when the game was over, he was going to have to pay a visit to the liquor store because Bev was too low on her white wine.

So I was getting to stock up after all ─ quite a relief, especially since I felt like I had skipped grocery-shopping for nothing.

We left very shortly after 2 p.m., and now I have a new four-litre box of red wine and two dozen cans of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) ─ plus a 750-ml bottle each of Bell's Original Blended Scotch Whisky and Dewar's White Label Blended Scotch Whisky (the Scotch are for my brother's upcoming birthday in July and not quite 10 days away).

The full bill? A painful $148.09.

The day, by the way, has been a mix of mostly cloud and a fair amount of blue sky with sunshine.

My wife had a full workday today at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, so she emerged from her bedroom around 9:45 a.m. to shower and otherwise ready, and was away on her rather long drive by 10:05 a.m. or so.

I never heard her say anything to my brother and I when she left, but she did venture a "Good morning" as she first came down the stairs to the kitchen.

With her away, I had no excuse for not exercising in her vacant bedroom this afternoon, although I did not commence the half hour until just about 4 p.m. I've been experiencing a vague headache this afternoon, and I rather hoped that the activity would drive some essential circulation throughout my skull and thus resolve the issue, but it is still with me.

I am going to take my blogging break here now at 4:52 p.m. and fetch me my day's second and final meal, then after that is eaten I will start watching my shows and do a little drinking.

Oh! ─ I forgot that I should check the backyard garden plants and see what watering may be necessary there. I will do that ere collecting my meal.

I had my first beer while watching a very interesting Cloak & Dagger ─ episode two ("Suicide Sprints") of the first season. My source was at GOOJARA.to.

I still can't tell where this is leading, but the journey is engrossing. However, this evening's Cloak & Dagger trip was done by 6:41 p.m.

My second and final beer this evening was devoted to Superman & Lois ─ episode 12 ("Injustice") of season three. Again, my source was at GOOJARA.to.

The entire tornado scene in this episode was fabulous; and I have to admit that their Luther is about as criminally evil as one would expect of the worst in the prison system. He is too menacing to be allowed to live ─ no one that wantonly cruel should be allowed among other people.

There are people who truly do not deserve to be living ─ not among other people. Death is preferable. 

The episode was done by 7:56 p.m., and a few minutes later I was to hear my brother and Bev in muted conversation downstairs, so he was at some point back from wherever he had left in the late early afternoon to bus and go social drinking.

Here I took a break to brush my teeth. 

Then my third and final show was the best of the lot, and the only one to bring burning to my eyes from the emotion it generated.

I had poured a dozen or so ounces of red wine and then tuned in The Expanse ─ episode 12 ("The Monster and the Rocket") of season two. My source this time was at TVSeries.video.

The Wikipedia write-up for the episode says, "The protomolecule monster is shown to have stowed away aboard the Rocinante." Well, if such was shown, I sure as hell never noticed it, so I am dubious that the statement is accurate. 

The episode was done by 9:31 p.m.

At this point I cannot rate whether I enjoyed Cloak & Dagger more than I did Superman & Lois ─ the latter was impaired by how loathsome I found the Luther character to be. This considerably detracted the episode in terms of my appreciation. Maybe I will just call the two a distant second to The Expanse.

Anyway, I killed some time watching random YouTube videos, and then my wife arrived home at 10:38 p.m. She is showering now, I think, but she had nothing to say to me (deeply involved in my YouTube, perhaps).

Right now it is 10:53 p.m., so I am going to start shutting things down and get to bed. I'll rise at 6 a.m. tomorrow.
