Old tv

There was a science fictio TV series in the 1970s called the Six Million Dollar Man. I used to watch it and it’s follow up series the Bionic Woman. I’d rush home if I was out to see it on a Saturday afternoon.

It’s recently been showing on a TV channel that specialises in older series. But it’s  no where near as exciting as I remember it. It’s very macho and the stories tend to be long winded. A lot of scenes just show the hero running or jumping in slow motion. They take up the majority of the screen time. Then there are semi scientific scenes that are not very accurate. It has an iconic theme tune that runs through the show. I’d rate it as 5/10. Because? It’s a bit boring! I can’t tell you how dissappointed I am.

Echolalia

The repetition of other people’s words or sounds is echolalia. When the toddler you babysit repeats everything you say, over and over again, you can call it “annoying,” or you can call it echolalia..

I looked this up because a friend would keep repeating what I said, what I said. I did not know why, know why…..

Apparently it’s something to do with psychiatric disorders or autism. I would not say my friend suffered from either of these. Perhaps it was a habit? I don’t know. It was incredibly annoying until I realised it was normal for my friend and learned to accept it.
