This was a Summer like day, already warm enough for shorts at 11am. Was a great day, got the solar mini lights up along with the lanterns, washed down the patio furniture... I actually was pretty good today, my knee was bad, so i wore my brace, but I'm feeling more beat up now than at any point today, so tomorrow might be a write off.
It was totally worth it, backyard is set for Summer!
So freakin' sore and beat. lol and that's already... Tomorrow and Monday could be real bad. You know how when you work out or do some strenuous activity that your body ain't used to and it's like maybe not the next day it hits you but the one after that?... Yeah that's where I'm heading and they way I feel now, it could be a doozy... But, like I said in the previous vid, it all hurts, no matter if I'm out there helping, doing a bit of raking or not. I mean, I'd probably hurt less if I did fuck all, but there's a sense of accomplishment in doing some tidying up... The boxes in the basement, I had meant that to be a Winter chore lol and never did it. The plan was, break down all those boxes in the Winter, when the basement is cold and the spiders and creepy basement crawlees are dead.... Still worked out ok...
Anyhow, here's the vid, and as said at the end of this vid, I'm headin to fall down somewhere....
Ugh, beat into the Earth, got up, helped clean up the yard with my neighbors. Did a bunch of ransacking in my basement, all the boxes are gone, 3 huge garbage bags of old clothes and sheets/bedding... Huge day and I'm paying for it already lol... So tomorrow I suspect I'll be wiped out completely... Or it could be Monday... Who knows... But I feel like I accomplished a lot... and that's a good feeling.
Yeah beautiful Spring day, was out and about.. Check the video.
Tonight heading out with Ciaron Lewis to check out the new 'The Avengers' movie. I think I've seen Infinite War like 6 times at least... So stoked to see what they do here... Would have liked to seen Captain Marvel, but she had flown away from our theaters before I gots the chance.
I don't think Cap Marvel has too much to do with 'End Game' (the new Avengers) but all of these 'tie in' with each other in some way or another.
Don't worry, I won't post any spoilers....
OH! I saw a trailer for a crazy movie last night... From the director of what was 'dubbed' "The Exorcist of the 2000's" 'Hereditary'... This new movie he's seems to step further into the realm of secret cults and supernatural worship... That's my kinda shit.. It's not a Witchcraft movie, but it looks pretty wicked
Everyone said 'Hereditary' was super scary.. But they also said that 'The Witch' was super scary... But I found both just to be cool movies.. I liked 'Hereditary' much more than 'The Witch'.... But it's great we're getting some 'horror' genre flicks that are not jsut straight up gore fests... I've seen me enough 'gore' to last me a couple generations, so that kinda movie don't do much for me, I want something with some meat to it, a great haunting, eerie frightening story... I'm thinking 'Midsommar' MAY be it.
Boon Gould the bassist for the '80's Synth Pop/Funk Pop group 'Level 42' passed away. He was found dead at his home at age 64.
I had always wondered about Boon. While I am sure there were probably other songs in which he had bigger parts to play, the couple of my favorite 'hits' by Level 42 didn't have much guitar in them and I'd wondered how it felt to be in a band where it seemed that his role ever decreasingly got smaller and small as Level 42 played more "Synth pop" and songs that were more bass and keyboard driven.
Of course Level 42 is chiefly known for their bassist Mark 'Thunder thumbs' King, who is one of the Worlds top rated bass guitar players. And the later incarnations of the band slowly over time lost it's founding members Boon and Boon's brother Phil, who played drums and keyboardist Mike Lindup and it soon seemed like it was the 'Mark King' band.... But I'm not totally sure of the politics, so I'll let sleeping dogs lie.
Anyhow, I can't say I was a Level 42 fan, the 'hits' 'Something About You' and 'Lessons In Love', the other songs were way too 'Poppy' for me and I just didn't find they had the same likability as their 'hits'.
RIP Boon Gould 1955-2019
Jerkface The Wonder Squirrel -
Not much for vids of late, having been feeling well.... Saw my doctor the yesterday, just to get meds refilled, but told her I thought the methotrexate was working even though it makes me vomit and knocks me off my feet for a couple days. She thought it was good news that it's working and thought that even though it's working that my rheumatologist or dermatologist would put me on something else... But I told her, that didn't make sense... And especially in regards to the biologicals, as to get 'funding/backing/coverage' for those meds like Enbrel or Humiria, They want one to 'fail' two medications before they'll fund you on theirs (the costs for each dose are thousands of dollars, no shit, check it out:
Subcutaneous Solution
25 mg/0.5 ml
Enbrel subcutaneous solution
from $2,709.36
for 2.04 milliliters
50 mg/mL
Enbrel subcutaneous solution
from $5,410.22
for 3.92 milliliters
QuantityPer unitPrice
3.92 (4 x 0.98 milliliters)$1,380.16$5,410.22
OK, so that's a couple of doses, but it's ridiculous.... But they will cover people who can't afford it. providing like I said, you fail on less expansive meds like methotrexate or Arava.... and all of them got nasty side effects.
yeah, so the chipmunks are just two for now.. I imagine they'll knock up some honey's and they'll push out some teet suckers and soon I'll be feeding a bunch of these silly critters.
Jerkface and his brother.. or sister, 'Assmunch' have been around.. I leave plates of nuts and corn for the 'munks, but I can't stop the squirrels all the time, so they get some and when I'm around and they show up, Jerkface still always tries to impress me by 'walking like a huemahn'....
Ciaron Lewis and I are going to go see the new 'Avengers' movie tomorrow night. I've been a big fan of all the Marvel movies and I've stoked to see this 'End Game'... I have read the 'Infinite Wars' series of graphic novels, but they have and haven't completely followed the same storyline.
For instance in the last 'Avengers' movie 'Infinite War', when the Hulk 'crashes; to Earth in the comic book version its actually the Silver Surfer. So I'm betting this ending will not be quite like it is in the comic book series.
Hopefully it'll be good. I don't go to theaters much... Always tend to like watching flicks in the comfort of my own home where there's no one talking, coughing, sneezing, kicking my seat... BUT I do enjoy the 'big screen' and also the '3D' aspect of the theater experience.
I haven't seen Ciaron in a while, so it'll be great to catch up.. See what's happening with Neighbourhood Watch and the Punk scene.
My good friend Johnny James was by last week for a visit, was good to see him and get a quick update on what the Metal scene's been up to.
Alright, nausea rising again, time to lay down ... again... lol my 'Wednesday's now consist of throwing up around 8 am, about 12 hourse after I've taken the methotrexate, then smoking weed to try and killed ht nausea, then sleeping, then waking up, throwing up, smoking some pot, try to eat, smoke some more pot, pass out.. repeat....
Oh, I picked up this 'Cthulhu' 'glow in the dark' piggey bank the other day.
LOL, looks like it glows pretty awesome eh? Well... NO.... The guy at 'Strange |Adventures' said that it "glows like mad! In the Fall, when I close up the shop, and it's super dark early, it lights up the back of the shop".... Well, that's probably from sitting under the fluorescent lights all day.
When I got it home, and shut off the lights... Not much glowing lol, nope... So I shone my high powered flashlight on it for a bit for this photo..... Not sure if all that time in the shop, exposed to light 'killed', toned down it's ability to 'glow'..... It's still damn cool and another great addition to my esteemed 'H.P. Lovecraft' collection....
