bev! @TonicBH@computerfairi.es

that Stargate SG-1 show seems pretty neat

@renbymon I'm gonna guess the single version was initially considered the final version, but then they went back and did some vocal overdubs/edits, put that version on the album, and then had later releases of the single be just use the album version

cause when you mentioned this, I was looking at Discogs for this and noticed there's versions that use the regular title that are likely that single version, while later releases say it's the "Album Version."

@renbymon oh god I genuinely didn't know this version exists

just replace it with the "HEY HEY DO THAT BRAND NEW THING" from the album version and you got the perfect combo

Realizing my legacy might be "the gal who found where Halo with Chips came from" and I don't know how to feel about this

As time goes on, I'm starting to think we should not be taking any policy advice from folks who host reality shows

Or anyone notably famous, really

I'm a millennial trans woman, but I swear that I sometimes have the music tastes of a Gen X'er who listens strictly to the classic rock radio station and doesn't listen to anything beyond 1993

@renbymon there *has* to be nature/campground cons in your neck of the woods (if there isn't there should be!!)

It's also weird for me to go from "I have no idea what to write about" to "Oh I have too many ideas to write about and can't pick one at the moment ​"

Having that realization that I have written at least 4,000 words about stuff I've bought in the past year and a half, and wonder if anyone cares about that at all

I know they say not to care too much about reader metrics and whatnot, but sometimes I worry if this is a fruitless endeavor

Wrote a bunch of words about stuff I bought over the past year and a half. Mostly the half year, but still

I don't know why, but I just... like writing words about why I bought something. Give a bit of knowledge of what I know about the product, the human element of writing, that sort of thing

for the record I don't mean a single episode, I mean the whole next season needs to be the Game Changer regulars getting payback on Sam by any means necessary
