Today has not been very interesting so far
which is good.

I woke up late and decided to have a bath anyway because if the cleaner arrives while I'm in the bath they'll knock and wait and it won't be the end of the world anyway.
... then I nearly splooshed the bath out from jumping when the post arrived, clack thud.

Got my half of the tasks done, ran the dishwasher, am currently doing the laundry, it is on drying now and I hope it actually works this time.

I remembered to tell the cleaner about Exciting Hallway Upgrades that are scheduled to happen on a cleaner day, and they said they'll just turn up and see if they can get in, we'll make it work. So that's okay.

I got a subscription renewal letter from Analog. I have only had 8 out of 12 issues and the renewal time is xmas ish. So that seems a bit early. Also I'd have to make a paper letter go to america? That seems Far and would require fancier stamps than I own. Also I would have to do maths because despite sending the letter to another country it lists US prices and how to do the math for international deliveries. Which, you know, not entirely helpful.
... how is a sci fi magazine so old school?
... because it's the sci fi magazine my dad subscribed to and the letters page suggests he would still be the typical subscriber if he was still alive.

How is 40 young to be a SF reader?

Must be all the youngers are reading online.

... I have an unread pile of 5 issues of 3 magazines covering... in one case six months, but that's because an issue didn't arrive. I don't know if I should renew when I dont like it that much. But I like that they exist? Probably? And it's something to do.


But I mostly read on Ao3 anyway.

I sat down to watch an episode or two of Dark Matter before bed
and then there's suicides.

It's really annoying how TV doesn't come with trigger warnings.

I know they're usually violent but that's particularly unpleasant.

Also there were eldritch abominations from beyond, which seems a bit much to throw in when I know how many episodes are left before they got cancelled.

*sigh*



I like the Android and how she could choose to act more human but doesn't.
Also being told not to say it and then just walking off repeating 'boobs'
is funny, in a particularly autistic way.

I like this Android better than Data, which is quite a lot.

... I dislike that most of the autistic coded characters on TV are robots...




I should do more writing.
... any writing.
Pretty much everything I watch makes me want to get my teeth in and make something meatier instead, so I should do more writing.
