I just got a Switch 1, I’m not ready for change!

Wow, that brings back memories. Discontinued in 2003? I guess we were among the last classes to enjoy its sugary goodness at lunch.

I play this every December. I brush off the Sega Saturn and relive Christmas of 1998.

Terminator: ReGenisys

Written and Produced by John Travolta

Directed by John Woo

I think the worst way to sum up his channel is that he reviews MP3 players and bad headphones. You’d really just have to see it, he’s very funny.

I just finished Michael Crichton’s Prey again. The last time I read it was when it came out. It’s still good. Don’t know what to start next.

Yeah, she definitely crossed the line that time. It was probably the most mad I have ever seen her. I can’t remember if that was also when she slapped me, or if that was something else. But really, those were the worst instances and the other 98% of my childhood was very good. And we really do have a very good relationship today. I don’t think I deserved it, or any child would deserve that. My schooling was just a hotbutton issue for her, and I pushed it really hard that time.

My mom was very strict with me as a child, but I don’t think it was narcissistic. She was very focused on my education. I had to do well and get a good job. But it was because she wanted me to have good health insurance as I have had chronic health issues from birth. I have a good job now, my student loans are paid off, and she was right about me needing good health insurance. Our relationship is lovely now. But I’ll probably always remember the time that I skipped a homework assignment and she spit in my face.

I would love a brain implant. I want to live in the Matrix, I want to have the Feed. Just not from him. Never from him.

It’s probably about the Vienna concert that was canceled due to a terrorist threat.

Option 1, but secretly also 3.

Shingles. That was just awful.

Facebook is for my family. LinkedIn is for work. Lemmy is for me. That’s all my social media.

I remember working both day and night shifts on an assembly line. Day shift was pretty good. The line was fully staffed, we had a full compliment of maintenance guys to fix the line when it went down. Good music.

Night shift was crazy different, way better. No management. Understaffed, and no maintenance people. So, some stations were always slower and you could sit down for a bit. Nobody was in the drive-thru at Taco Bell at 3am. And, it was seriously 15 degrees cooler in the plant. We never hit our quotas, and management was pissed. But we never had to see them.

Yeah, I’m ok with that sacrifice to avoid an Optimus Prime von Hammerpants.

In comparison, 40% of Restaurant Impossible restaurants are still open.

In a perfect world, me. But it would probably be better if there was a body of 100 or so individuals of diverse backgrounds to make sure we aren’t excluding names for cultural reasons. Names could be submitted for approval. To weed out the Everleighs, the Sexiannas, the Khaleesis. And any names Jamie Oliver would pick.

I don’t know why people think it is acceptable to treat names like an opportunity for creativity, or fun. Names are serious business. And they aren’t a medium for self expression. If I name my dog after a type of pasta, who cares? But imagine having to give someone a business card with “Fusilli Feet” on it. I love Waterworld, but my kid will never have to put down “Mariner Feet” on a resume. My kid is not an extension of me, or my interests.

There should be a list of approved names for children.

I love monster of the week episodes. Those are my favorite X-Files episodes, too.
