I'll be there for you...

Lights, camera, debunked!

I don't think I'm the drama...

People are often surprised when I tell them that my 92-year-old grandmother is capable of sending me emails. They're surprised that my Grandfather posts to my Facebook, and still calls me to describe his dreams. While they've both got a pretty good handle on using the world wide web, there's plenty of people their age (even boomers) who consistently fail to use social media, and even Google, properly. While sometimes their failures or inappropriate diatribes can be offensive, many of the online…

I went on a long-ish vacation this week, to celebrate a friend's wedding. One thing that every person in the bridal party has in common is that we are all obsessive cat owners. And being away from home, we really, really missed our cats. Somehow, between various wedding duties, we were able to fit in a trip to a cat cafe in beautiful Palm Springs, California. The cafe, cleverly named Frisky Business, was wonderful. The cats? Purrfection. The staff? Doting and delightful. It was the perfect ther…

Sea of random thoughts.

Yum?

We've officially reached part of the year that makes it entirely too difficult to get out of bed. While it's true that here in the Northeast the weather has been unseasonably warm, we're still feeling the effects of seasonal affective disorder, and we can't wait for the freedom of spring. Spring: a time when we can shed our millions of layers, realize how chunky we've gotten, and hate our lives in a slightly different way. For now, all I want to do is eat soup , and curl up with my cats and a g…

I'm not feeling so hot. It's hard to pinpoint one reason for this ennui. But a quote from a wise hobbit man comes to mind when I think about my current state: "I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin… sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don’t expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to." Yeah, it's a sad day when I'm quoting the fictional character Bilbo Baggins in relati…

Greetings, internet travelers. A wise person once said that variety is the spice of life, and if that is true, our lives need some serious spicin'. Every day has started to feel the same, thanks to the dullness of routine and responsibility. If your brain feels similarly slow and spent from entering figures into another excel spreadsheet or catering to another annoying Karen , it's safe to say that you deserve a little relief from all this earthly pain. If wealthy people are allowed to go on ja…

LOL

It is not a crime to crave attention. But it is true that some people need it more than others. For some reason, when it's human adults who are behaving in a needy fashion, it's a lot more annoying than animals or, say, babies. My spoiled ass cat has moments where she'll literally be forcing her wee head into my busy hands for hours at a time. She's obsessive to be sure, but despite my frustration, I tolerate it. If it were a grown-up person? There's no way in the world that I'd submit to their…

Ah, Twitter.

Greetings fellow sci-fi fans! We're back with another one of our weekly batches of entertaining science fiction content. As someone who enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars, I've curated a collection of sci-fi memes and humor that I think a lot of you might find amusing. You see, sci-fi is more than just a genre, it's a world of adventure, exploration, and imagination that allows us to escape reality, even if it's just for a little while. And what better way to celebrate it than with a collectio…

Twitter has almost always been a controversial zone. Over the past few years, it feels like it's gotten…worse. Worse in the sense that there are more people on the site spewing hot takes and stupid sentiments. It's also worse because Donald Trump isn't around to spice things up. Yeah, we said it. Lately, however, the site has been embroiled with a little extra drama. This has a lot to do with Elon Musk's acquisition of the ‘Bird app.’

I don't know about you, but I am equally fortunate and unfortunate to be old enough to remember a place and time before the good ol' internet. A simpler time, a time when you had to find humor in joke books, terrible TV sitcoms, inside jokes with old pals, the funnies, and good old-fashioned farts . When I was a child, my insane friends and I would invent strange and completely nonsensical words and repeat them over and over again until the gibberish finally became comical. There's no denying i…
