One step closer to… whatever this is, honestly.

Since I had to get us this new laptop, I have been fighting for the better part of successfully loading everything else on it to get the camcorder to successfully be able to upload video without the video portion of it looking green, pixelated, and just plain weird. I am not sure why it was doing that, because it worked just fine with our last laptop (even when the keyboard didn’t). Working around my migraines, which slowed this down, I kept at it whenever I could mess with this… so a little bit here, a little bit there, sometimes nothing at all here and there. But I think I actually made progress making it so that recorded video can now actually get on this computer! That only took how long now? But all I have to do is get the date stamp to go away on videos, because for some reason it’s showing a date of 2018 (and, I mean, if I can’t, as long as I can upload videos… whatever, I’ll gladly accept that), and I think I’ve actually gotten to the point where I can now get videos from the camcorder to this computer without screwing up the video something incomprehensible!

I’ll probably record more video, like the ones that I was recording of taking Bub to the park and on walks playing Pokemon Go, when this pandemic is over with… whenever that is. Although I acknowledge that the protests were (and are) necessary to affect change, I can also see that they have contributed to the localized spikes in some areas of it in some states, and have even raised the infection rate of some states as a whole.

Why, oh why, did I not notice this sooner?

I just realized that if you have an active Nintendo Online subscription (which we do, for the Switch), it gives you complimentary access to a lot of old games for the Nintendo and Super Nintendo free of charge. This has made my day… or probably, to be more accurate, in this case, a lot of days. I found out about this when I was adding more time to our Nintendo Online subscription, since it lets you add a bit more than a year to it — I kind of wish it let you add a bit more than that just so I could go on ahead and get it out of the way when we had spare funds around, but I digress, it is what it is — and I saw those. I checked them out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that out, because I didn’t even know about that up until that point. Heh…

Maybe I should have looked into that sooner, because I’m going to enjoy vegging out on all of this nostalgia.

I’ve gotten back into scheduling some posts here.

A partial retcon of previous posts: I can see myself happily dating a Satanist that affiliated with The Satanic Temple (or had no formal “affiliation” at all) regardless of whether or not they do ritual, and how much, because of the things that we would already have in common. I guess the only straw that might break the camel’s back is if they required that someone engage in ritual with them at a certain frequency and could not be fulfilled with or happy in a relationship that did not meet that frequency(, although I honestly can not see this happening with anyone affiliating with The Satanic Temple and would like to come out and say as much). But I would probably be happier dating a Satanist that either had no formal affiliation, or affiliated with The Satanic Temple, than one that was formally affiliated with the Church of Satan because there would be a lot less disagreement there, as I’ve addressed in previous posts. I don’t want to feel like I’m a potential number to convert to someone’s side. I’ve already had that happen once, and once is too much.

In the interim, I’ve taken to finding a different way to organize the necklace collection that I’ve gotten… over the years, even though wearing them is a challenge since I have bad enough skin allergies to the point that things discolor my skin. When I’ve taken copious amounts of Benadryl and am on prednisone though, the effect is less. Ironically, that is something that I’ve noticed. So why not exploit those time periods a little bit?
