Writing Prompt

Hey look, another post that was vaguely pre teased by the MS Paint post. Mixtapes! Sure, I had CDs when I was making mix tapes, but my old Isuzu Trooper only had a cassette deck. Come to think of it, the Mustang I had after only had a cassette deck too. I had a silly tape adapter to play CDs from a portable player, but still didn't have a CD burner until much later. So tapes it was. I still have some of mine. I even have a tape player to play them on. But I don't have a proper…

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…

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.

I probably allegedly have used torrents for piracy, but also, not really? Most of my "hardcore"…

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…

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…
