Moments before destruction

It's annoying when I have to stop reading and writing because of eye pain and overburdening them. When reading and writing is too much for my eyes. I don't know what to do about it. Should I send my eyes on a (beach) vacation somewhere?

With my eyes and neck aching, I then wrote three different short stories at the same time. They went quite well, I even finished one of them.

 

 


 

I was so stressed out about the end of the ski jumping season that it was hard to sleep the next night because my heart was beating too much. Spectator sports are tough, it takes a toll. If I'm still alive when the next season starts, I should come up with something because I don't want to pay a penny to the crappy Viaplay. Why can't I get Polish Eurosport, for example? Except through illegal streams. Well, Viaplay just announced a cheaper package that would even include ski jumping.

Red Bull organized its own ski jumping event in Poland after the season ended. Who was responsible for the safety of that? They jumped at terrible speeds and I really saw red when Domen Prevc fell his too long jump. He was so high up at the end of the hill. Many meters above the hill record. They would have to pay a lot of money to compensate for a possible injury or worse. Life-threatening activity.

I went to the library again. It was a bit annoying when the return machine couldn't accept the course book. That crappy, heavy (2.1 kg!) and abnormal book in every way.


Spoiler from tv-show ER, beware!


I got to continue watching ER, in the sixth season, when the episodes shown on a free channel here progressed to that point. It's so bad to watch Lucy spend many episodes worrying about a patient her age who needs a heart transplant. Lucy doesn't know that she herself doesn't have much time left to live. I've probably watched the sixth season episode "All in the Family" dozens of times in total.

 


 

 

I was totally shocked when I saw that the episode "Be Still My Heart" that was airing on tv here had been cut. The legendary ending scene had actually been shortened! The TV version was missing the scene where Carter tries to get up, and then the zoom in on Carter's eyes when he sees Lucy in horror. I've seen that scene so many times that I know it by heart, so I knew right away that something was seriously wrong. What a bloody sacrilege to cut the episode! I can't stand it! If they have to cut the episode, they should take out some less important scene!

Below is the original, uncut, uncensored scene:

 


Then I waited to see how badly the next day's All in the Family had been cut... well, I didn't notice anything. I started wondering if ER has been cut in streaming services. Many TV series fall victim to the slaughter when the music is changed for the DVD release.
