Back from my walk and all done for today. My list of things to do is a little messed up because of work on Monday. Oh well.

2 coats of paint on all trim, casings and baseboard. 2 coats of paint on the interior of the new metal porch door we installed last fall.

Small window insulated.

Everything else needed for porch staged in garage, the rest is staged in the basement.

I also installed all of the baseboard in the porch before wrapping up for the night.

Now all I need help with from my friend's dad tomorrow is casing out the 3 remaining windows.



Gotta get to bed at a reasonable hour today. I've obligated myself to help my neighbor move furniture again but didn't know until a few hours ago that it starts at 8AM. I didn't even wake up today until 9AM.

Just tell me how you stay so motivated. I've had a hard time getting my rear in gear the past few days.

It's probably more manic than motivated. You know that I'm prone to falling into a state where I'm getting nothing done for weeks or even months on end.

The warm weather surely helps. I don't function well when it's colder than 60 degrees, so I've got to take the gift that I've been given. It gets cold next week, probably until March or April. Two winters ago I managed to work nearly every day on my kitchen despite the terrible cold weather that year, but then last year was a lot more mild and there were about 3 months there I didn't do anything but watch YouTube and play video games.

Getting a huge backlog of to-do on the DONE list is a great motivator though too. When I first started working on my house again it all seemed so insurmountable. But now that I'm a few years into it and I've been able to cash in some of my favors to get things done I couldn't on my own it's really all coming together.

Interesting premise, but I wish it wasn't so gory.

Eeeew.

Well I've been telling people since it came out that they need to watch Utopia. Glad you finally found it because as far as I know nobody else watched it.

Unfortunately, it did not get a 2nd season.

---

Seriously????
Well, DARN!

---

Yeah. That killed me.

I'm not sure how far you've gotten into it, but if you haven't figured out why season 2 wasn't made, from what you've posted below I think you can probably guess.

It kind of blows my mind that they even released the 1st season when they did, right at the beginning of the Plandemic.

It's still worth watching to the end even though you're going to be left as empty as you were when watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

---

That was the one with the multiple time loops, wasn't it? That one left me mostly confused. I lost track of who was from what time loop.

---

I don't remember. All I remember was that I was warned by my brother ahead of time not to watch it and I didn't listen to him. It was the worst cliffhanger ending to a show I've ever seen. It was the one that was starring Summer Glau.

There is a UK version of the show that came out first. I've never looked into it to see if they actually finished that show or not.

You're right about the gore though. My old man told me I should watch it and after maybe just the first or second episode I told him that I might not finish it. He told me that he thought the same thing, but that he stuck with it and that I should too. He was right. But that was all before the lockdowns started happening and I knew that there was no chance they were going to tell any more of that particular story.

There were two (three, actually) predictive points to the story. Four, depending on how conspiracy-minded you are.

The first is the nature of the virus itself. The virus that's in the drop of rain in the frame with the little girl with the T-shaped rash on her face? The spherical virus with the spikes sticking out of it? That's a corona virus. A lot of viruses have distinctive shapes, and that's one of them. (Ebola is another one. It's rod-shaped with a curl, crook, or loop on one end, kind of like a shepherd's crook.)

The second is the bat as the ostensible source of the virus.

The third is that the virus was deliberately manufactured.

The fourth is the evil pharma genius who spreads a virus in order to promote a vaccine, sidestepping the FDA in order to get an EUA. (I don't know what's with the vaccine yet, but it's not looking good.)

A fifth, I suppose, is more descriptive thn predictive, but it's USA's (and China's) continuation of biowarfare research.

I was just as surprised watching it as I was re-watching "The Lone Gunmen" (an X-Files spinoff.) Their VERY FIRST episode was about a USA government plot to get terrorists to fly a commercial passenger jet into one of the twin towers. Aired BEFORE 9-11.

---

It's been a long time now since I've seen it. I forget most of what happened now except for most of the first episode, the overall vaccination story, "What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world?*, and the River-esque character standing while taking a pee and pointing the gun at them.

*That was my signature here at one point, but Brenda asked me to change it because it made her feel lousy whenever she read it.

I watched all of The Lone Gunmen with my uncle back when I lived at my Grandmas. I'm very familiar with that 9/11 thing. There's been quite a few YouTube videos about it.
