I remember a few years ago, I began watching Lost in Space and I was surprised at how adult and straight forward it was. Until it almost immediately became the Silly Dr Smith show. I figured there was some network meddling there, but not exactly what.

But this makes sense to what I saw. Eventually it got so silly I stopped watching.

Seriously, early Dr. Smith is downright chilling.

I've loved this song since I first heard it, but not knowing Japanese at the time, I wasn't sure what the lyrics were. It wasn't until much much later, that I understood what the song was about. And in particular one stanza.

That one stanza hit me hard the first time I read it. And continues to hit me hard decade laters. It can and will drive me to hopeful tears.

It's very much my attitude for 2024:

"Sad events that stained even my heart blue
"I'll repaint with an angel's paint
"Any way that I want."

Another schedule chage to my Saturday Sci-Fi Theater as we've run out of Night Gallery episodes. The new schedule?

The Tomorrow People (1970s)
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Space Precinct

I love the Tomorrow People. It's terrible, but it's also very much got a place in my heart.

Woke up this morning like I've been on-and-off for the last two or three months. I wake up with my chest and throat hurting like I have the flu or something (right down to coughing up junk and headache)...but after about thirty minutes, I'm absolutely fine.

I actually took a covid test knowing that feeling would "go away" pretty quickly, and it came out clean as usual.

Wish I knew what was up with that. It's almost like "I get sick at night, but I'm cured just after waking up."

Decades ago, I was involved with the SFIBM program modding "Scene." Today, someone made a video playing SFJenn and mentioning "I'd hate to lose all this SFIBM stuff to time."

Well, I still have all my archives from back then, with all my files and even testbeds. Why not share it on the Internet Archive for posterity?

So, if you're at all interested in theold SFIBM scene, and everything involved with it, it's up for as long as the Internet Archive is. Enjoy!

While it may be for a female alien civilization at war with its men, I'm glad to see Lisa Hayes managed to find employment after that whole SDF-2 debacle on Earth.

I think the biggest thing I learned about in 2023, was the there is an Air Bud franchise for some reason.

I was wondering when I'd pay for last night's bad sleep.

Remember, you can't trust them. Even when they're supposedly on your side. GIVE. THEM. HELL.
