Blog Update: Geek Talk from the Basement, Living with Disabilities and more! (Tuesday, September 1st, 2020)

 Hey guys! How's it going? I'm doing pretty well for a Tuesday. I've got a few things to talk about today in this blog update, including the new thing that I'm doing on the blog and the not so new thing that I'm also doing, but doing slightly differently. Now that I've confused you, let's move on to the new thing that I'm doing.

Yesterday I posted a piece on Stranger Things under a new title, Geek Talk from the Basement. I kind of alluded to this in an earlier blog update post where I had explained that I had decided to go back to the blog's original geeky roots, when it first started in 2015 as the Geek Outpost and be a bit looser with these reviews than I had become in the five years since I first started blogging. Now I've actually given it a name and a slight focus shift. I'm not just going to talk geeky stuff. Instead, I'm going to come on here once a week and write about a topic. It can be about anything. It can be about a movie, an entire movie franchise, a TV show, an entire TV show franchise, a book or a book series, a comic book or a comic book series, or a video game/video game series. The only thing is that it has to be one of those things that I'm familiar with. Like I'm not going to talk about movies I know nothing about, or shows or books or comics or video games. I'm going to talk about the movies, books, shows, comics and games that I've played, watched and read before so that I don't have to rewatch a movie or a few episodes of a show, reread a book or comic or play a video game if I don't feel like doing so. This will be a weekly thing.

I'm also still going to do reviews of shows, books, movies and comics that I've never read or watched before, particularly new movies that are coming out that are of particular interest to me, but that's it. Anything I've seen, read or played before will fall under the Geek Talk from the Basement banner. 

I'm still going to be doing Living with Disabilities series as well, but that's going to be a twice monthly thing. One post will be a random story from my past and the other post will be a post like my CHEO and OCTC posts that I did last week. This month is going to be a little bit different though because the first post, which I'll be putting out next week is going to be about going to school as a person with disabilities and the friends I made at the schools I went to after I left OCTC. Then, at the end of the month, a few of my friends are going to be writing about their experiences with me and how they adjusted to having a friend who is as vulnerable as I am. So two big Living with Disabilities posts this month. Next month will go into smaller, random stories and then another big post. Not sure what the topic for that post will be about, but the random story will be a Halloween story since next month is October.

That's all I wanted to talk about today. I'll be back next week with the next two posts. Until then have a great week, stay safe and I will see you all soon. Later.
