#Mayllennial – 90s Anime and Cartoons

Off the top of my head, I can't even come up with a 90s cartoon, though I am sure I watched them. The 90s were much more of my whole "wannabe weeb" phase, which I mentioned during my VHS post of this little series. Inspired to some extend by the SciFi Channel's Saturday Anime series. I am pretty sure I watched all of them. Off the top of my head, and keep in mind, this was like, 30 years ago, I remember enjoying the likes of Akira, Gall Force, Tenchi, Armitage the III, and Iria. Some of these I ended…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.05.09)

Putting the C in NIS Edition, or something. Last week I think I mentioned maybe going to a local music expo thing. I almost didn't, but decided to check it out a bit that evening. The girls were working at the shop, so why not. It was… interesting, but kind of dull by myself. The bands I saw were pretty rock and punk themed. I didn't really catch any full sets, partly because I just, wasn't super into any of it. All of them I believe were local bands, like in town local. There was a hard rock band playing…
#Mayllennial – Torrents

#Mayllennial – Torrents

I kind of thought about doing a srs bns joke where I go into the mechanics of how torrents work. Or maybe one where I just talk about heavy rainfalls and how much I dislike them versus nice light showers. But that seemed silly, and boring, so instead I will just, sort of follow the proper idea of the topic. I really don't want to veer off too much into general talk of piracy, but also, everyone knows torrents are often used for piracy. I probably allegedly have used torrents for piracy, but also, not really? Most of my "hardcore"…
#Mayllennial – Pet Parenting

#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

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…
