Kindle auto-correct is pissing me off

Remember when I was getting pissed off that there was no better spell check on the Kindle? Yeah. How do I turn the auto-correct off?

It’s very frustrating when I painstakingly spell something out — there it is right on the screen — then one hit of the spacebar and I look incredibly stupid.

If I spell something out a key at a time, why would it try to fix it? I don’t need to have my words corrected by something that seems to know less about spelling than me.

I saw this

I haven’t watched a ton of new movies, but here’s a list of stuff — movies and shows — worth seeing:

OBLIVION – movie. beautiful, cinemagraphic dystopian sci-fi.
PACIFIC RIM – movie. fun monster fighting robot sci-fi.
PROMETHEUS – movie. thinky horror sci-fi.
LOOPER – movie. crazy time travel mafia sci-fi.
BREAKING BAD – TV. meth making science teacher/drug kingpin.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL – TV. girl dressed as boy, joins band kdrama.
PENELOPE – movie. Girl cursed with a pig nose. Wonderful costumes and sets.
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – movie. Still beautiful knight during the Crusades story.
IRON MAN 3 – movie. Tony Stark is a ninja.
ORPHAN BLACK – tv. BBC sci-fi series about a woman that finds out there’s eight of her.

Any great movies or shows out there? I’ve got Netflix and DramaFever.

I’m trying to watch this show, but my dad won’t stop talking. Asking questions is all right, but he makes these dumb comments.

I think he needs his own Twitter. That or I should set him up with a blog. He has thoughts and opinions he would really like to share.

Heroes & Villains is a finalist for the 2013 Rainbow Awards. How cool is that?

There’s so many great books listed this year. It’s thrilling to see my book up there with all of them. They look so bright and hopeful all on one page.

All this quippage during action scenes, I think that would be totally distracting. There you are focusing on your job, and someone feels the need to make with the funnies.

This is serious time, boss. STFU.

Then again, it’s kind of reached the point of ridiculous with having a brand new girl go out in the field with no training. They are supposed to be a highly trained government agency. WTF? I question putting the safety of the world in their hands until they at least go through Basic.

It’s an interesting show and I look forward to watching more episodes, but I wish the script was a little better. I’m hoping the show gets better.

They’re playing up the sexy — sexy people, sexy technology — I wish there was a bit more plot to this porn.

What I’ve been writing on –

ParaShift: My mm sci-fi mpreg story. The elements introduce
themselves. I just took the concept of a post-apocalyptic society that’s been struck by a sterility plague, added a touch of A/B/O, and ran with it.

Tuesday Night: My mm au superhero story. I’ve introduced Henry David and things are chugging along. I promise not to go all hate-style on Carrie. That’s not an angle I want to play.

The Panic Pure: My mm suspense thriller. I posted Chapter Eighteen on FictionPress if you’re following that. I’ve gotta clean it up before posting it on Kimichee but I’ll start catching everything up.
