rambling and some tv
i haven't appreciated dreamwidth for being here properly,by using it. i think i'm intimidated by all the cool people on my reading list, and i am so dull.
recently,open diary rose from the ashes and since before its demise,i had a lifetime membership,they are still honoring it,which is nice. lots of old folks on open diary,and i mean i'm one of them. they are now charging 4 dollars a month or you can pay yearly. i'm glad i don't have to pay. money is such a difficulty for me. right now,though the senate just voted to repeal the repeal of net neutrality,it still needs to go through the house and president,and it doesn't look good. i'm worried that i will be charged per site and will have to forego so many things i have gotten used to having. damn,the internet is a utility! so much is done online. it is an outrage to have repealed net neutrality in the first place,amongst many outrageous things. now let's cut food stamps,which are inadequate and difficult to get even when one is eligible because of all the hoops...and that's probably by design.
but i will stop for now. probably rambling on because i had coffee ice cream today,and yes that gives me a caffeine boost,since i don't consume much caffeine.
in happier news,i've been getting various free trials for tv streaming though i'm running out of them. but i am going to get a freebie from cbs so i can watch the latest star trek,as i haven't seen any of it. i think it has been on netflix in some countries,though,but not here in usa.
one show i recently got into is timeless. i love time travel stuff and now i'm invested in the story and characters. they are at risk of being cancelled and there has been no word yet,but i hope they get renewed.

no subject
The net neutrality thing really irritates me.
Thanks for the mention of timeless. I've been wanting something to watch and I'm going to try it out.
