Duolingo Chess

Or, I did four months of Duolingo Chess so you don't have to. I have a long ass streak on Duolingo. This involves doing it, every day. Am I learning? Mi español es un poco bueno, posiblemente…o posiblemente no. But I am not here today to discuss Spanish, I am here to talk Chess. Part of having a long ass streak is that sometimes I want a break. I find its actually useful to let it sort of sink in, then when I go back, it helps reinforce if I have learned anything, or if I have just been memorizing…

#Mayllennial – MS Paint

Its Day 6! Also PS, I am still pre writing these out. Just, in the groove, pounding silly nonsense while the muse is here. Today's topic is MS Paint. The simple drawing program included with Windows. A program I used to use to make labels for VHS tapes in. Among other things. Eventually I ended up with a copy of Photoshop, and after that just moved to Affinity Photo. But growing up Paint was surprisingly entertaining. I am sure others are familiar with things like, drawing random lines the filling them in, and drawing random.circles, then filling them, or… drawing…

#Mayllennial – VHS

Oh boy, a topic I actually can talk about! VHS tapes. I had a pretty big VHS obsession going on in the 90s, both purchased tapes and recorded tapes.

Once I started working, I took regular trips out once I got paid to buy movies on VHS. My friend and I would spend a ton of time.browsing around deciding just which movies we wanted to buy this week.…

#Mayllennial – Glow in the Dark Stars

If I had very little to say about Digital Pets, I have even less to say about Glow in the Dark stars. Because I never had that in any way that impacted me to even think about it. I could instead write about Sailor Moon Fan Sites, but that's just a weird meme thread I decided to randomly drop in these posts and I never ran one myself. So peace out.

#Mayllennial – Unprecedented Times

Welcome to Day 3, the topic today is of course Sailor Moon Fansites. Or maybe its "Unprecedented times." I think there is probably a meme for this somewhere. Oh wait, here it is. Aside from the "before 40" bit. Because technically I am like, right on the edge of Millennial and Gen X. Also this meme is a few years old so its probably missing some shit. I am not real sure where this one is going to go, but there is a good chance I really get going here. Something something US Pol. If you aren't a dumbass MAGA…
