I'll freely admit I was a dumb kid who grew up using AOL. And even then it seemed antiquated and restrictive, to the point I began to use browsers other than AOL. We're still paying it for, mostly because my parents' old email accounts are still there. But it still evokes nostalgia in me, especially the design. The early-00s AOL design language was...it's hard to put into words. It was sort of in ... » Continue Reading
So I've been a fan of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for a few years -- I preferred it to the other Trek shows as it contained continuing storylines, grey morality, and a sense of realism as compared to the idealism and self-containedness of the other Trek series. As of late, however, I've fallen down the rabbithole of DS9 content on Tumblr -- specifically, a large group of people who ship Dr. Bashir,... » Continue Reading
Haven't made a blog post in a while, so I wanted to take a look at something that's always fascinated me -- Key Video. For those too young to remember, back in the 1980s, 20th Century Fox (long before their purchase by Disney) had a home entertainment division co-owned with CBS, called CBS-Fox Video. Around 1984 or so, they start » Continue Reading
Back when I was growing up, late in elementary school and into middle, we got a PS2 from a friend of ours who'd upgraded to a PS3. Among the games I got was Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. It was one of my absolute favorite racing games ever -- practically everything about it was awesome. The soundtrack was filled with awesome rock and rap music, the gameplay was fast, fluid and fun. The cops were ... » Continue Reading
Having ADHD isn't like it is on TV. Sure, I can suddenly be bouncing from one thing to another and talking at top speed, but it has a lot of downsides. Fatigue is the biggest. I can never seemingly get enough sleep -- I have trouble getting to sleep, especially in the whole "drifting off" bit -- on some occasions, my mind becomes aware that it's losing consciousness and I end up fighting back to b... » Continue Reading
We all, at this point, are overloaded with streaming services. Practically everyone have one or two, or have launched their own after fleeing Netflix or Hulu. ViacomCBS, on the other hand, is relaunching an existing service, CBS All-Access (or, in Australia, 10 All-Access), as Paramount+ (which was the name of another service operating in certain overseas areas). You might think "Oh joy, another o... » Continue Reading
My favorite cereal in the world has made another quiet return. Post has resumed making Waffle Crisp again!!! Waffle Crisp, if you've never had it, is SO FRICKIN DELICIOUS. It's like tiny waffles, drenched in maple syrup, hit with Pym Particles en masse and put into bags and boxes. Or this time, just bags -- Walmart's putting them on the shelves in two-pound bags only. Apparently, this is actually ... » Continue Reading
When you're a child of the late 90s/early 00s like I am, you no doubt had a lot of movies from Disney and/or their various labels (Touchstone, Hollywood, even Miramax and Dimension) on VHS and/or DVD. And I think we all know this bumper by heart: I have triggered nostalgia in you j » Continue Reading
I'll be honest. I'm terrible at putting my actual thoughts online. I swore to use my Tumblr to explain who I am and things I like and dislike, but I quickly forgot about that, partially because Tumblr's an endless stream. I spend more time attempting to catch up on what I missed and then reblogging the posts I think are important. Here, on the other hand, things are static. It's not an information... » Continue Reading
