Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

I don't miss playing an instrument. If I did, there's a digital piano right outside my room and I could easily go and play that. I'm content with the way things are -- at least, as content as I ever was in the past.

S1E1 was the one where the princess was kidnapped and the ransom was ... something other than money. I'm trying not to give away any spoilers here. I can't remember what the title of the episode was, it might have been "National Anthem."
 
11:51 a.m., Sunday the 29th

Yesterday, ex-SIL was remarried. It was a cool wedding, casual and fun. Her sister made lots of jello shots; yum ...

Today, SB has a work outing and BH is going with her. It is a bowling event if I understand correctly. Not my cup of tea. They've just left, and will get back maybe somewhere around 7:00 p.m.

It's 53° outside, and won't get any higher than 59° today. Tomorrow will only get up to 57°, and there will be rain. After that, highs will be in the 60's and 70's for a week.
 
5:21 p.m., Monday the 30th

They got home at about 6:30 p.m. ... SB made me an egg sandwich for dinner. After I went to sleep, I woke up having some kind of a hot flash. Don't know where that came from. Today, normally SB would be working, but she took today off. Originally she had plans to go out somewhere with BH, but those plans changed, so now she is just working with him on projects in the house.

Temperatures outside are 57°. It ended up raining yesterday, but so far not today.
 
11:26 a.m., Tuesday the 1st

BH and I watched the last episode of Season Two. It was pretty grim, I don't want to give up any spoilers, but, watch out. This one features Jon Hamm.

Yesterday for lunch, SB and I ate out at Pho Yelm, just down the street. I still think the server is hot. But I don't ask her out, largely because I don't make any money. I am on disability. Which is okay. I'm not stressed out about it. I'm just living life how I can. I do not have any hope or wish of an afterlife. I just want to gain some good out of this life.

Temperatures outside are 52°. Highs during the coming week will all be in the 70's.
 
That was actually the first episode of the show I saw, and yeah it's grim but SO GOOD.
 
How weird is it that I was watching this episode last night? My favorite is still Fifteen Million Merits (Daniel Kaluuya utterly nailed it, in my opinion).
 
I remember Fifteen Million Merits! Good episode.

The one with Jon Hamm is "White Christmas." Technically it's neither Season Two nor Season Three, it is a special episode in between the two seasons.

Last night, BH and I watched "Nosedive," the first episode in Season Three. It has everyone giving each other ratings, zero to five stars each. And one's average received rating affects how one is treated, and what kind of privileges/perks one can receive. By the way, there are no British accents in this episode. Not sure what that means.
 
oo oo ooh! I wont give it away PPgurl is totally correct. I think you'll *love* season 3. :) Season 2 definitely had it's grim moments.
 
Heh, I rather like the dark stuff, with the grim endings. I actually thought Nosedive had a "happy" ending, as the main character realizes that her ratings don't matter anymore, and that's a good thing. Kind of a, the good part about hitting bottom, type of a thing.
 
12:13 p.m., Friday the 4th

No episodes the last couple of days, as is usually the case on BH's workdays as he gets home tired. Today, a contractor came over to seal off a gas line from an old heater we had removed. SB was able to work from home today, which was lucky for me as I didn't have to do "contractor stuff." The cats had to be in my room with the door closed, as the contractor was going in and out and the back door was often open. The job didn't take long though, so the cats were soon able to roam free again.

The weather kind of sucks, it is 60° right now and will only get up to 64°. No rain. There's a couple of days of rain in the coming week's forecast, and high temps ranging from 57° to 80°. Weird.
 
6:18 p.m., Saturday the 5th

Dinner tonight will be pizza, in honor of BH's birthday. Then, at 8:00 p.m. tonight, SB has to leave to go to work, they are doing some kind of computer maintainance at her work and she has to be there in person. It sucks. If she's lucky, she might be home by midnight. If she's not lucky, it might be 5:30 a.m. by the time she gets home. She is taking an energy drink with her.

To get used to staying up late, she stayed up late last night, and got up late this morning. She will certainly be getting up late tomorrow.

Earlier today, she and I went shopping (Safeway), then watched a L&O:SVU episode.

This concludes my riport.
 
9:45 a.m., Sunday the 6th

I'm not sure what time SB got home last night. Probably pretty late. At first she got up this morning just shy of 8:00 a.m. ... but then she went back to bed, and that's where she is now. We probably won't do anything special today (like a road trip).

Last night, BH and I watched a movie on TV, Boogie Nights. Not bad. A lot of marquee names in it!

Yesterday, SB staged up the coffee pot, so that this morning, BH could just plug it in and be good to go. This concludes my riport.
 
5:15 p.m., Monday the 7th

So as it turns out, yesterday we did do something special. We went out with our "neighbor guy friend," got coffee, shopped a little at Costco and Safeway. The neighbor guy friend thing is new, we've just been getting to know him in recent weeks. He's this tall black guy, with crazy dreadlocks that make him even taller. He's really nice, and fun. He hasn't been to Total Wine yet! so maybe we can do that with him soon.

We had dinner last night rather late for some reason. Almost 9:00 p.m. ... no episodes, as Snowbunny had to get up early this morning for work. We didn't want the TV on keeping her up.

Tomorrow, at 9:00 a.m., Brother-Husband is going to the gym with Neighbor Guy Friend. I was invited but being very lazy I took a pass.
 
1:37 p.m., Tuesday the 8th

For dinner last night we had salmon (it was very good, nice and tender) and something different: artichokes. Not artichoke hearts mind you; whole artichokes. Now the taste was okay, but most of the artichoke is impossible to eat, too hard/woodlike. I guess it was an interesting experiment ...

The temperature outside is 74°, and my window is open. It's supposed to get up to 77° today, maybe 78°. Earlier they were predicting rain, but that didn't pan out. Tomorrow and Thursday it will rain, with much lower temps. High temps over the coming week will range from 59° to 84°. This concludes my riport.
 
3:30 p.m., Wednesday the 9th

Over the last couple of days, BH and I have watched three more Black Mirror episodes, namely: Playtest, Shut Up and Dance, and San Junipero (S3E4). I take it San Junipero is the one "happy episode" out of all the other Black Mirror episodes. It's the one where the two women fall in love and have to be separated every time the clock strikes midnight. So as to not spoil it, I won't go into further detail or give away the ending. Of the three episodes, I might actually like Shut Up and Dance best, even though it's very ugly/jarring, the plotline is interesting. It's the one where the young guy's computer gets hacked and he gets blackmailed. Don't want to spoil it so I'll stop there. But really, comparing two episodes is like comparing an apple and an orange. They're too different from each other to pick a favorite. I like them all so far.
 
1:12 p.m., Thursday the 10th

No episodes yesterday, but Brother-Husband gets up later than usual tomorrow so who knows, maybe we'll watch one tonight. Also, word is out that work has begun on Stranger Things Season Three, so we are excited about that. We both wore our Stranger Things T-shirts this week.

Dinner last night was chicken and a salad. Not much else to report. I guess Brother-Husband has been itching to go vegetarian so maybe we'll do that. Or pescetarian, was Snowbunny's suggestion. Now we may not always do that when we eat out ... we'll see.
 
1:59 p.m., Friday the 11th

No episodes. Dinner was mostly vegetarian, slightly pescetarian, imitation crab in the salad. Outdoor temp is 60° right now, I've had the heaters on today. Tomorrow's high will be 77°, we'll probably open the windows. Sunday and Monday will get up to 84°, Tuesday 77°. After that it's three days of about 70°.
 
12:35 p.m., Sunday the 13th

Yesterday Snowbunny sold some "cat pads" to a lady in Sumner (sp?), a little further away than Puyallup (sp?). I went with Snowbunny, and we met the lady at a large nursery in Sumner. While we were at it, Snowbunny bought some plants at the nursery. She found some plants that she had been looking for. Also, we ate at a Mexican place called El Charro. It was pretty good. And we did some shopping at a produce market in Puyallup.

Snowbunny made salads for dinner. (Something light after our heavy lunch.) After dinner, Brother-Husband and I watched another Black Mirror episode.

Right now it is 76° outside. The sky is clear, the windows are open, the cats are snoozing here in my room, Lady on the pad on top of my bookcase, Rainee on the cushion by me and my window. Snowbunny is out doing a few quick errands, she will bring back subs from Quiznos for lunch. Brother-Husband is watching a baseball game on TV. This concludes my riport.
 
Do you know about scraping the base of the artichoke leaves with your teeth to pull off the soft bottom part? I didn't believe my ex when I first saw him do it. I thought it was wind up! Put the base of the leaf in your mouth and scrape of the soft white part at the base as you pull the leaf out. The outer leaves don't have much but the inner leave have lots more flesh at the base. And dip them in slightly spicy mayo. Yum.
