waking up to adulthood

me and doctor watched the documentary Rocco on netflix. well done docu. im not a fan of Rocco's style of porn, so i was interested in if the docu would make me understand him at all, or see what he is about. i think it a did a little. at least it was an interesting watch.

im turning 39 next week. which made me realise... im turning 40 next year! that explains a lot, like how i so often lately feel like "im too old for that shit" or generally feel like an adult in a situation or while looking at something (facebook drama, reality tv, etc). the downside is, i think it might be affecting how much i enjoy reality tv. its changing in general to suit the expectations of the audience i think, and the people on these shows were perhaps always quite young, but as im getting older im just further and further removed from it all and frowning half the time... its just not working that well. i need to find programs for the middle aged, perhaps?

my toe is less and less sore so its slowly healing as expected. a few more weeks of flat shoes.... hanging in here, but its trying my patience. 

the new puzzle im working on.

these Kickstarter campaigns...oh man. so popular. i think a lot of people dont realise they might or might not get whatever they invest in, a product or such. or they might wait for it for a year or two or however long. of course, some uncertainty can make it exciting, and i think a part of the attraction is that you are helping a startup, so you have more patience and understanding. but people shuld be more aware that when they decide to invest in a Kickstarter campaign, they need to be prepared to lose the money too. although i dont think that happens too happen. well i hope it doesnt.

ive FINALLY warmed up to podcasts a bit. slowly, but surely. first it was Reality Steve, one episode here or there. in other words, very light gossipy entertainment. then ive tried a couple of other similar (Bachelor/ette) related ones. and most recently some tech related ones, like Darknet Diaries. 

other promising ones:
My Favorite Murder by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark 
Radio Sodoma (finnish)
mitä vielä, Ronja Salmi? (finnish)

there are many things in this article that i recognise, poor title is not one of them
"How it feels to have 'millennial burnout'" https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/c384d54a-0116-437f-83e8-ddbca65b6c06
