I'm still here!

So, I got an email that my paid account was due to expire.  I had two choices.  Let it expire?  But that seemed a tacit acknowledgment that I would never post again.  So I had to renew, obviously.  But once I paid for a blog that I hadn't used in a year (a year?!), I realized that I absolutely had to post again, today, immediately.

(I waited like six hours to make this post, obviously.)

Soooooooooo, it's been awhile!  There are a multitude of reasons (three, maybe four) for why I quit posting for a year (A YEAR?!?), but I won't get into everything now.  Mostly because it's boring and I doubt anyone cares.  But I wanted to say hello!  I'll be endeavoring to getting back into the swing of things and maybe making things and writing things again, and checking up on my flist, and other such online fandom thingies!

I feel like I should add something of substance to this post, however, so have literally the only thing I've done in Photoshop in the past year: a teeny-bop collage of silent film star Conrad Veidt!  (My sister went through A Phase.)

Grissom and Sara had apparently gotten married and divorced

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. I'm assuming they had to figure out how to explain why Sara came back but not Grissom, and that's what they came up with? Ughhhhhh... At least they ended up together in the end, which is all I required.

Yeah, I keep meaning to listen to the X-Files Files, but I'm just not a podcast person these days - I used to listen to them all the time in school, but I don't have a "commute" anymore, so. One day! Maybe! Probably not!

Goodness, I don't even remember the URL for the old board. I had to wipe my computer a couple years back and didn't back up my bookmarks. I know it was all our names squished together, but not where it was hosted. (I'm pre-embarrassed at the thought of reading some of that old stuff.)

Tumblr is the worst. THE WORST. I've been sorta low-key into Walking Dead the past year (mostly just Carol), and just lurking it's terrible. I can't even imagine trying to participate. There is no way to have a meaningful conversation with more than one person on that site without it being a total nachtmare.

Yeah, I guess I was happy that they ended up together too, although I didn't care about it as much as I once did.

I really enjoy The X-Files Files; I tend to save it up for traveling. I don't watch the episodes along with him, but I did a full rewatch in 2013, so I have a pretty good recollection of most of them. Plus, he's had interesting people from the show on like writers, producers, musicians, and actors.

I have the board URL if you ever want it, but yeah, nobody posts on it anymore. Tumblr is okay if you follow the right people. It's not a great place for long-form conversation, but if you have specific pop culture interests, like Donald O'Connor, academic jokes, Rifftrax, animals talking in all caps, or sites that pair Mad Men quotes with images from Archer (it's called Sterling Archer Draper Pryce), it's fun. I have the same URL on Tumblr as I do on here.

Yes! Give me the URL!
