Windows 3.1 (T-Shirt Challenge!) Part 7/9

What? Oh, I'm just getting rained on and sweating my balls off. >_< 80 degrees, 70% humidity and rain all at the SAME TIME?! Ohhh, it's like I won the lottery. The worst...lottery...ever. T_T Anyway, please excuse my perspiration and partially rain splattered clothing. My style just can't handle these great times we're living in. Rain at least one day every week for the last 10 weeks. Holy sh*t, Summer! Gah! o_O Also, it didn't help that I was wearing a dress underneath all of this, but I wanted to make use of that cute leather collar. I really liked the color contrast. It was worth the suffering, dammit. Haha.

OK. Alright. Focus. There was something really nerdy and cool that I wanted to talk about. Ahh, yes. Radtastic games for Windows 3.1. <3 Guys! :DDD I know many of you are probably too young to know what a floppy disk is, let alone Windows 3.1. So, you guys can just scroll down and ignore this bit. Now, for the rest of you. Come closer, bros. I have stories to tell. *^_^* I remember playing some sick games on my IBM 486 as a young lass. My dad is an electrical engineer, so we always had the latest gear in my house and my two brothers were fortunate enough to have their own computers, also. :P~

I played mostly DOS games, but I also had a cornucopia of games for Windows 3.1. Awww yeah. Ya'll remember Solitaire and Minesweeper? Of course, you do. ;D Who can forget those simple, sweet graphics!? I was never that great at Minesweeper, but when I saw this rad t-shirt with the modern rendition, I very nearly peed my pants. Haha. Best shirt ever! Anyway, Solitaire and Minesweeper were most often passed over for games like Castle of the Winds (epic!), SimCity and Civilization. <3

Yeah. Hardcore nerd stuff, right here. I obviously didn't get out much. Haha. It wasn't entirely my fault, though. My parents were pretty strict and a wee bit controlling when it came to my social life. I spent a lot of time playing strategy games and dungeon crawlers and chatting with friends with whom I wasn't allowed to fraternize on ICQ and IRC. My computer quickly became a source of comfort. It was and still is my best friend. I know. So sad! Haha. It's OK, guys. Don't feel bad. I'm a very happy geek! ^_^

Time & Relative Dimension In Space (T-Shirt Challenge!) Part 6/9

Allons-y! *^_^* I'm traveling without moving, today. I often wonder what the distant future will be like. I imagine some things will get better (e.g. self-driving cars FTW!) and other things will inevitably get worse (e.g. availability of natural resources). I think the advances in technology alone would make it worth being cryogenically frozen. *shrug* What? That would be cool. Also, I'm a curious bastard. >:D

Picture

Anyway, this obsessive curiosity about the future (and about life on other planets... :P) made me a huge fan of Dr. Who. A time traveling dapper dude in a police box? It doesn't get any better than that, my friends. So, obviously, I have a shirt bearing the hallowed TARDIS. <3 My partner got it for me as a gift. He has one just like it, too. ^_^ On rare occasions, we end up wearing the same shirt. When that happens, we're too amused to change outfits. It's a lot like when you say something and the person you're with says the exact same thing at the same time. You start to think that some strange, unnatural force is at work and you check yourself for jinx residue. Haha. Whatevs. I'm OK with a little voodoo. ;D~

Picture

Of the actors who have played The Doctor, David Tennant is my favorite. I'd dress like his character everyday, if I could afford it. Haha. So, I tried to embrace his quirky personality by adding a colorful men's bow tie and fun polka dot skirt. The white blouse underneath is vintage. I thrifted it along with a cream colored blouse, last week. I bought them because of their beautiful, patterned collars. I had a tailor remove the long sleeves on both of them, so I could do the kind of layering that I love to do. :3
The bow tie conceals the subtle pattern play, I'm afraid, but you can see a closeup photo here.

Finally, I wore brown tassel loafers and a brown braided satchel for some added vintage flair. I opted for my brown ombre Warby's for a touch of sophistication. Yep. :D So, what do you think the distant future will be like? What kind of technological advancements would you most look forward to?

I'm still holding out for hover boards and jetpacks. Haha. <3
