I love Star Trek and Science Fiction and man, has Hollywood shit all over my favorites.   As my favorite radio DJ likes to say, &#8220;they&#8217;ve pegged out the propaganda!&#8221;  &lt;&#8211; so true.   I won&#8217;t watch the new TV or movies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found a channel on Youtube of a young ma<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BBX5qh09OIE&amp;t=5461s\" target=\"_blank\">n building a log cabin in Sweden<\/a>, that was pretty interesting.   Maybe its some low-key Swedish propaganda to get me to order a cabin off Ikea.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One Year Alone in Forest of Sweden | Building Log Cabin like our Forefathers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BBX5qh09OIE?start=5461&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This kid is 18 &#8212; what have I been doing with my life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been painting my kitchen again.  Above are two of my cabinets, the ones above my fridge that don&#8217;t get used much.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also watched a lot of noodle making in Japan.  They don&#8217;t talk, they just make noodles.  I remind myself of my Grandma when she had dementia, she would watch hours of golf.  She didn&#8217;t understand it but she looked at me and said &#8212; you know, this is good!  My Grandma watched the lumberjack championships with me one year.  We both really enjoyed it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I miss my Dad and Grandma and Mom and everyone else I&#8217;ve lost &#8212; too many people really and they can&#8217;t be replaced.   My Dad liked Doctor Who and Star Trek (vintage of COURSE) &#8212; we had that in common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I have the gym I guess, and I will go back to Japanese lessons soon.  I had to work out a few hiccups with my health.  Sometimes I hurt so much I can&#8217;t sleep or eat.  Sometimes I&#8217;m so fatigued all I can do is sit in a chair (and watch noodles).  So it goes slowly.  I am going to make my own protein shake in an effort to recover from a gym workout, since I can&#8217;t digest my food too well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On days I take a Vitamin B12 pill all I can do is sleep.  It knocks me out &#8211; is that normal? I don&#8217;t think so&#8230;but I know I&#8217;m low on that and iron.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made Okonomiyaki tonight for supper.  Cabbage cake with BBQ sauce and mayo basically.  You know, I really liked it.  Nobody else really cared for it but I can see it being my regular jam.  I ordered some Kewpie mayo and traditional sauce on Amazon but it hasn&#8217;t arrived yet.  I don&#8217;t care for seafood so I put less Dashi flavors in.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got Reynaud&#8217;s Syndrome I guess, it&#8217;s basically poor circulation &#8212; I was washing my hands under a cold faucet and my hands turned PURPLE.  Like bright pretty purple.  Pretty.  I hope to get more blood volume soon, lol, and a fitter heart, that should help the Reynaud&#8217;s I&#8217;m thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ugh, nothing good on tv and hasn&#8217;t been in years.
