captain_slinkyI'm back to Dreamwidth for a while, because (INSERT GENERIC FACEBOOK GRIEVANCES HERE). So here's some bullet point catch-ups you should comment on!
- THE ORVILLE VS. STAR TREK: I've fallen HARD for Seth MacFarlane's "The Orville", but I always knew that I would. Haven't even watched the new Star Trek, much for the same reasons I don't go to High School Reunions - I have good memories, I don't want to see the terrible, dark reality of what it's become.
- MOLLY THE MIDDLE SCHOOLER: Molly is now 11 years old and going MIDDLE SCHOOL! She rides a bus every morning that requires us to get up at around 5:30 every morning (UGH). A "Mean Girl" bully on the bus started calling her a "Lesbian Orangutan", which didn't phase Molly at all because what the hell does that even MEAN, but the Bus Driver caught it and now the Bully Girl has to sit up front for a solid month. Glad to know that the bus driver has my kids back ;)
- SOLIDLY DEPRESSING SUMMER AND FALL: I've tried selling my Weird Lamps at four different shows over the last five months, and failed MISERABLY :( Everyone assures me that it's just a really slow summer for everyone, and that my sales will pick up during the holidays, but that doesn't keep me from feeling like a failure :(
- 1980'S SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS: I've gotten pretty heavy into tape trading (yes, good old VHS Tapes) to get solid chunks of Saturday Morning Cartoons complete with the original commercials, then converting them to digital. I have a pretty good, solid collection of Saturday Mornings from every year from 1977 to 1994 now that I'm pretty proud of!
