People who need people ...

(I was watching a Barbra movie recently in fact... ) Anyway ...

Having not seen or talked with anyone in ages S came to visit on Thursday and stuffed lots of my mum's stuff into rubbish bags for chucking. Because I haven't been able to bring myself to do it, basically. It's all so final.

Then Friday evening I get a totally unexpected phone call from my former London neighbour so caught up on everything for well over an hour. Hopefully we will meet for lunch one day as she comes in this general direction to go horse riding.

I almost feel human again. *Almost*

I'm finding life far too complicated. I want to schedule things but find doing so stressful so put it off then get stressed _because_ I've put things off.

I don't understand.

Grrr! Spellcheck autocorrected we’re to were as I was typing it for some reason (Why?! Surely people are more likely to forget the apostrophe than accidentally add one in so we’re is much less likely to be a typo than were is) … and then had the audacity to tell me that what it had done with what I’d written now wasn’t grammatically correct!

It feels like in the rush of enthusiasm for all things AI that I’m ending up having to fight spellcheck/auto-suggestions more than in the past. They obviously aren’t training it on stuff written by dyslexics!

The suggestions seem to be more business-y now too

Oooo there’s a bunch of the 1980’s Joan Hickson Miss Marple’s on iPlayer - (re)watching them is happy-making (even though it’s sometimes giving me, intense but mundane, little flashbulb-type memories of watching them the first time round as a child/teen)

(They are SO much better than the 2000’s Geraldine McEwan/Julia McKenzie adaptations (nothing against those awesome actors but the adaptations are just not-great))

Current Mood: nostalgic

So we rewatched Paper Girls (it’s on Amazon) and it’s like sooooo Good (well like the characters and actors are soooo good - some of the CGI is like a bit Rubbish) and now we are all annoyed again that there wasn’t a second series and it ends on like kind of a cliffhanger …

(And like even if it got rescued now for a proper ending like Farscape did then the Paper Girl actor girls are like prolly already too old to be the Paper Girl character girls)

But it is like worth watching because having SiFi about cool 12 year old girls on bikes is Awesome. And it’s like realistic about like how stuff like having your first period when you are (like not by your own choice so you dint get to pack supplies) time-travelling would work…
And there’s like lots of cool women and Queer rep and talking about sexism and racism and society stuff as well as laser guns and robots (and like without the sociology stuff taking over and stopping it being a good story)

Watch on YouTube

(Like I know we could read the comics to find out what happens next but comics are like hard for our eyes/flavour of dyslexia)
