You go into Neil&#8217;s and all the fonts are black and red and the programmes are called &#8216;Narcos&#8217; or &#8216;Last Man Standing&#8217;, and mine are all pink and purple with happy looking people getting married, going shopping, or if the programme is worth my attention, both. I happily admit I love the bubble of crap TV.<\/p>\n<p>I also have a certain fondness for the wildcard selection you get down at the bottom, and every now and then I choose anything without looking at the title or the description. This has mixed results, but occasionally you get the odd gem, and tonight I got one of those. It was mega cheesy (so totally my bag), about a woman who was trying to write her obituary before she died. She was a horrible woman, but with a good taste in music &#8211; she thought &#8216;The Kinks&#8217; were one of the most underrated bands of all time &#8211; my Dad would agree. There was one line in the whole thing that particularly appealed; &#8216;you don&#8217;t make mistakes, mistakes make you&#8217;. I like that. I was once told &#8216;if you can&#8217;t change something, change how you think about it&#8217;, and that feels of a similar ilk. It&#8217;s about reframing.<\/p>\n<p>Wow, and on that profound and cheesy note, fitting to my Netflix algorithm, it&#8217;s time for bed.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you ever buy someone else a present, for yourself?
