WP Prompt of the Day: What’s something you miss from the old days?
Early internet maximalism in personal websites. Seamless background wallpapers that mimicked satin fabric. Black Chancery font. Guestbooks. Flickering animated torch gifs around headings. Flaming horizontal dividers. Animated gifs for everything. Java applets that made water ripples. And for the pièce de résistance, a midi of Meat Loaf’s “Anything For Love” that automatically loads and can’t be shut off.
Morning, y’all. We’re up and about and on the couch. Pippin is eating her breakfast in private quarters this morning. Podrick finished eating 5 minutes ago.
Yesterday was a nice, slow day. Shawshank went to work, and I wrote a bit. He came home around lunchtime, bringing me a gift of mac and cheese. Then he fired up “Cyberpunk” and ran around for a couple of hours. I pulled some thread out of the box and worked on my needlework project while he fought gangs.
My stitch and bitch project is coming along nicely. I’m very happy that I ripped out the first attempt at the sky, because I much prefer this stitch and how it looks. I also find it to be a less frustrating stitch to use to fill in big areas. Also, the blue I used for the first attempt was way too dark. Buying a bunch of proper colors was a good choice.
I handled most of making dinner last night. Shawshank brought home a loaf of raisin bread and some sausage. He handled the sausage, then I made a stack of French toast. We spent the rest of the night gaming some more. I played “Witcher 3” for a few hours, mostly just handling a few quests, then went back to needlework.
We’re not leaving the house today. Shawshank just started the washer, and we’re having pasta pork cutlets and sauce and garlic bread. I’m sure there will be plenty of gaming going on.
