Hello there! Rebuilding my network here in an effort to dump other social media. Some of you may recognize me from Blogger, Myspace, Twitter, Tribe, StumbleUpon, Facebook, & numerous other places I've stamped my anachronista handle.
I miss the early internet. I hope to find old & new friends here.

It's been a rough couple of months but this ankle biting ninja keeps bringing the silly chaos.

Soon, my body will reach the age of 55, what people call a "young" senior citizen. In a few days, my Second Life avatar will be 21.
I'm not sure which milestone is more funny. Do I do a virtual shot on the 21st and then drink a *Dirty Boomer at 55?

The news cycle is tough for me lately. There are a lot of statements and videos that I simply cannot watch, or old trauma might consume me.
I'm in awe of the bravery of these women. Someday, maybe I will tell a story with names attached. I'm not yet ready, or may never be.

Posting less often because even though I do have a load bearing sense of humor to get through hard times, it is being tested every day.
I'm having a hard time being funny when things are so serious. It's like I've lost my appetite for it.

Longshot time. I'm seeking a recording of The Wrestler by Eiji Nishiki.
I had the red demo cassette as a child and it was the first time I heard synthpop from Japan. The demo came with a portable (Hitachi?) cassette player.
Can anyone point me to a link or share a listen with me if you own it? 🤞

Fantastic 4 was pretty fantastic 😊
However. Sometimes superhero movies make me sad because we've got villains on this planet and no one super to save us.

A beautiful map of Middle-earth illustrated by Pauline Baynes.
Tolkien wrote to Baynes: ”Some of these pictures agree remarkably with my own vision: especially the first four on the right”

My house has several layers of history. This ancient grocery conveyance method was found under my basement stairs, left there around 1965.

Morning newspaper landed in the birdbath, but my parents still want to read it. I set up a clothes drying rack outside in the sun, to hang each completely soaked section. We'll soon see if this is a poor plan.

I really hope cats are the next intelligent species to rule this planet. They probably can't make it any worse 😸

Finally.
The fight for unemployment benefits has been won.
Sadly, I have trust issues, so I won't believe it until the money actually deposits into my account.

Mom's prescription lancets, 50 count at Safeway, almost $20
Over the counter at Costco... 100 lancets and the pen to use them was $3.01 🤯
I am incandescent with rage that she's been paying so much for diabetic testing supplies. The prescription system is broken.

Woke up today still angry about the cancellation of Wheel of Time.
Obviously, I want some other channel to pick up the sword and continue the fight.
I wish there was something I could do besides sign the many petitions.

Andor is the best of all the Star Wars shows. I say that as a first wave fan, having seen the original in theaters as a child.
This story has been in my life for over 40 years and it feels new again. Or maybe the story of rebellion is just more poignant now.

Dumb No Man's Sky joke here, that you won't get unless you are Gen X.
If you create a base named "The Power Station," it should be on a HOT PLANET.

New pope has a birth name of Robert yet we're all going to call him Leo.
Why is this name change so easy and acceptable compared to others?
