Not What You Thought It Was

I'm not having much trouble with Windows 10 but Notepad ++ and Filezilla aren't as easy to intelligibly look at and use as my Arachnophilia and last FTP program were. I'm no longer so naïve as to think that a newer program/technology automatically equals an easier or better experience for the user.

I've heard Photoshop is now a service you pay for monthly instead of a program you pay for once and have to look into that. I downloaded paint.net but it doesn't seem to allow me to create images of different sizes and I can't figure out how to sharpen things.

Is it weird that I most enjoy Tumblr on Pinterest?

With the changing of the year Medicare will start paying for physical therapy again so I'm back. My physical therapist is having me do isometric exercises instead of light weight training this time. I'm not thrilled, since so far it's all the pain with none of the feeling of accomplishment, but I've only been back for two weeks. I've been seeing this therapist on and off for years but he's still trying things for me, unlike the new pain management doctor who recently gave up on me completely during my second visit with her.

I'll try to call the pain management office next week saying we might not be a good match and I'd like a second opinion.

The fandoms I most read in have been very quiet recently, so one of the ones I'm checking out is Gotham, and after the winter finale I don't want to read about Jim Gordon paired with anyone. You don't deserve Harvey, you don't deserve Oswald, you don't deserve any of the women you went out with. Maybe you deserve Sofia, but I don't wanna read it even if she's blatantly abusing you in it.

I imagine it's an interesting property to write fic for since the show burns through plot so fast and hard that you get Jossed constantly. You barely get a chance to enjoy Oswald as simultaneous mayor and kingpin of Gotham crime before it's gone. The possibility of canonical Oswald/Ed shows up only to be dashed on the rocks soon after. This week's ally could be next week's enemy and vice versa. Fandom gets happy over the possibility of an Oswald and Ivy as bestest friends only for Oswald to immediately start discounting her in the new season; likewise the "freak family."

At least fanfic is a way to get the things you thought and hoped canon might spend time on but didn't.
