will most likelyshitpost about the Phillies during baseball season.
So I'm currently toying around with NeoCities, and decided to trial it by building your classic mid '90s Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pastiche website.
Some of the most important elements are already in place.
Tile background? Large font? Heading in bright pink with a shadow? Unusual colour choices? Random cat gifs? Under construction gif? Check! Check! Check!
In the true spirit of the '90s DIY web, some more pages (including the links page) are coming soon.
(I'm thinking of adding a page dedicated to either Britney or a nu-metal band.)
Interesting, the alcohol content in the hard cider served at La Crêperie de Paris at Epcot is only 3%. Going to brew up a batch of some kind of hard cider here today, probably, and all the recipes seem to be double that. #alcohol#brewing#homebrew
I know I’m going on and on, but one thing about sweetening the cider is that unless you know that all the yeast are gone, adding sugar will restart fermentation. If you want sweet, you may need to add potassium metabisulfite to prevent refermentation.
At this point you have a dry cider you can keg or bottle in sanitized vessels. If desired, you can transfer off the yeast and flavor by adding hops or herbs or other things. I did lavender once and it was amazing!
Second Saturday #vinyl spin. “The Photo Album” by Death Cab for Cutie. So far I’m two tracks in and it’s classic chill Death Cab. First time I had heard of the band was when they appeared on The Colbert Report around the time “Narrow Stairs” came out.
Another from the parental stash. I’m very familiar with “Feels So Good,” which was played a lot when I grew up. This one I don’t really remember, but I’m digging the Latin jazz vibes.
#nowplaying Paul Simon “Graceland”. From my parents collection. I remember my dad putting this on for dinner and my mom complaining that this was not dinner music! 😂
When I was in high school the marching band also did a version of this during football games.
#nowplaying Huey Lewis and the News “Fore!” Memories of high school for me. This version includes “The Power of Love” from the Back to the Future soundtrack that was not on the cassette I had back in the day.
#nowplaying Ray Charles, “Ray Charles Invites You to Listen”. Another from the parents collection. This record is full of slow jazz ballads and some pop covers in a very crooner style. Very much the kind of music my mom loved.
