I may be a product of my time, but everytime I see Emily Fleming in a 1970s themed episode, I can't look away.
Super Productive Day today.
Had my first physical therapy session for my neck. The idea at this point is to strengthen my left arm, and strengthen my posture, both of which should help my pinched nerve issues. 30 minutes of a mostly relaxing massage and 30 minutes of excersize twice a week? I'll allow it.
We had a power outage today in town - apparently a power line CAUGHT FIRE knocking power out for about two hours. Perfect timing to head into Monroe and have a Girls Night Out with Crystal and Lissa and play some catch up and Zelda strategies. 🙂
After that, I spent some time at the Pride Across the Bridge get together in town. First time with that group since the big panel in May. Glad I went. I've felt like I've flaked on them multiple times, but the neck was at it's worse since that panel. I need to step up my role as a trans elder and glad I can.
After all that, came home, played some Zelda, and I'm about to head to bed.
A good day, first in a LONG time.
I love that the Doctor Who Blu Ray collections are also mini episodes featuring the companions (and even the Doctor) in the Blue Ray.
Okay, body. I refused to sleep when you demanded I needed to sleep during my evening, thanks to you deciding on just five hours of sleep this morning.
I'm going to bed now. I need to be up an noon. We have appointments. YOU'RE GOING TO LET ME SLEEP, RIGHT?
...maybe I should load up on melatonin. Just in case....
Today's Agenda:
❌ Eight hours of sleep (got five)
❌ Make more or cream (didn't freeze...additional ❌ for wasting food)
❌ Go get car license tabs (WHY DO YOU CLOSE AT 4PM?!)
Declaring a "No!" Day, where the universe does its version of blocking an ant from moving forward in any direction, and playing Zelda all day.
I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks to efforts by volunteers Nosamu and bai0, the Internet Archive's flash emulation just jumped generations ahead.
Mute/Unmute works. The screen resizes based on the actual animation's information. And for a certain group who will flip their lid:
We can do multi-swf flash now!
A pile of previously "broken" flashes will join the collection this week.
It’s amazing to think how much digitization has made it less likely content will last beyond a generation. Writing on stone tablets last hundreds to thousands of years. An Atari cartridge or Betamax tape is almost impossible to consume today if you aren’t a collector of classic electronics.
I used to think my kids and grandkids would read my blog posts and tweets. Now I doubt Medium or Twitter will still be around in ten years.
