Where oh where has January gone? In 4 weeks I will be preparing to leave for Canada. All the protocols necessary scare me.
Please note that I have added links to my 2 other previous Blogs above for info from previous years starting when we arrived in Ecuador in November 2011.
I felt a tad woozy this morning so I did not get up to go for a walk. The neighbour's chickens get the dogs so excited when they tempt death atop our dividing wall. I have taken to coming out with the hose and they scatter immediately without even having to spray.
Killer also decides that he is hungry a 2am, 2 night running. I always make sure that he has water but that apparently isn't enough at 2am. The extra food that I give him is all eaten and he goes back to sleep.
RedBubble lost my first upload today but was OK for the second.
I didn't take any photos today because I got caught up downloading 9 movies. Occasionally I get so bored with NetFlix and I also don't want to re-watch some of my DVD's for the 100th time, so I hide my VPN, use Pirate Bay and QbitTorrent to download movies. First I searched IMDB's Top 100 movie list and found a few that I have not seen, or simply don't remember, or haven't seen in forever. It is interesting that I have the vast majority of the Top 100 in my repertoire. Today I downloaded Amadeus, Citizen Kane, Chinatown, My Fair Lady, Psycho, Raging Bull, Some Like It Hot, Sunset Blvd, and The Apartment.
3 of the movies would not play because I did not have a supposedly needed Microsoft Codec and, in the past, I just deleted those because I objected to the blackmail. Today I decided to see if the $1.35 Cdn would be worth the trouble. It came off my debit card and all 3 movies now play on the computer. After doing a little more research, I found that if I had just used my VLC Player to play them, I probably wouldn't have a problem, because they do work on VLC on the Smart TV... Live and learn.
Sorry, no pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
