#Mayllennial – Pet Parenting

I kind of basically already wrote about my cats a few years ago during Blaugust. Not much has changed, really. I suppose instead I could just give a more general, state of the pets address. The sad update, Scarlett is no longer with us. She had been dealing with kitty diabetes for a while and was doing pretty good. But quite suddenly one day she started having serious trouble. She couldn't stand up or get around. We tried a few things, finally we took her to an out of town emergency vet. They gave some suggestions but conformations were all…

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. Hell it may have indirectly had an influence on why I work sort of indirectly with TV these days. It definitely is partly responsible for why I am such a digital packrat. 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.
