What with my cruise coming up I will for sure be blogging from the ship.Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures too.

Cruise Critic has been quiet but several threads have got me thinking that we need a history of dress code threads .Cruise Critic has been around for 30 years and in that time there. Have been a LOT of dress code. Threads(and not just on the HAL boards. Add to that dress codes have changed a LOT over the years. People are going much more casual(but still dressy enough. TL:DR? Tuxes and gowns?are NOT mandatory. Even though some people would like it to be so.) Especially with HAL who a group of diehards think should be more like Cunard.As I have said before, Cunard is its own niche when it comes to cruise lines.

Batshit posts are going to the back burner for the time being.. not really much going on there.There is drama but it’s not anything worth talking about.

I’ve been on Dreamwidth for 6 years now and I am not going anywhere.

There are a lot of things that I love about Dreamwidth.In the past there were issues(Vox comes right to mind.)

So what do I want this blog to continue to be?

Sometimes I think about making the blog one thing and then I realise that what I want is a little of everything(and that’s been every blog that I’ve had, Dreamidth or otherwise.)Am I snarky?Oh god yes and that is reflected in a few of the things that I talk about with some frequency(like Cruise Critic.) There’s that, and then there is also the pop culture stuff which is what makes up a LOT of what this blog is.I don’t see that going anywhere anytime soon,as I said before. I hardly ever miss a day and if I do there is a good reason for it!(also for the most part I post in the mornings whilst I am drinking one of several cups of coffee-yes that is the “coffee” part of RTBTCKI!)

I’ve been online since 1998 -to say that it has been interesting.

As I said before, I have a LOT of opinions and -some of them unpopular.-and I have made a lot of enemies .However some of the enemies became friends.

Topics that I feel strongly about:

Religion

Politics

Race(or a combination of the above)

General assholery(can also be combined with the above..and has.)

Branching out a little..not rebranding exactly..if I was going to rebrand-which I’m not-I would certainly let y’all know.

No, this is going to be some seriously fun things..I will tease it by saying that you’re going to like them and you will know me a lot better and leave it at that.

The Cruise Critic posts have gone back to Friday-still only one post a week but it’s a lot of the same things-by that I mean ‘Rona and its effect on being able to cruise.But that’s a post for Friday!

One thing that has helped is having a running list of topics that I want to talk about (though if there is breaking news that’s gonna change!)

There again there are some topics that have been on the list for a while.Last year there was a topic about 1971(the year I was born)but that never happened!

1)I have been reading a lot so the book updates are going to be more frequent(I hope..)

2)There’s more going on at Cruise Critic so there will be weekly updates; that being said, for now there will only be one post per week. But the things that I’ve been seeing on there are blog-worthy.

No Cruise Critic post!Drama has been light there, but is building back up so there will be a Cruise Critic post next week. I’ve got some interesting things coming up in the next few weeks.A little of everything and that is all I will say!

Cruise Critic posts will be Friday and Saturday-and occasionally on other days if there is a special occasion. For a while it was on Monday because I had so much to talk about. There is still a lot going on but there aren’t certain things(like sail aways) going on and those are always a source for drama.

Gonna try and post what I’ve been reading every month.

Crazy mom is..crazying. As is the fandom troll(and I have a post about her tomorrow but I’m reconsidering because that is changing with the hour. Literally. It is insane and I thought her harassing the shit out of the Hannibal fandom was insane! This ain’t got shit on that!

..And other surprises!

So I have a HUGE dilemma y’all. Usually I have enough content to do at least one Cruise Critic post a week. But there has been a lot of drama at Cruise Critic, specifically on the HAL boards.

HAL got a new CEO last week, so there is some of that.And I’ll get into that Monday, but I had a bunch of stuff ready for this week and then all of the drama happened. I’m leaning towards just having two days worth of posts so that I don’t get behind.
