Making the Internet Great Again.

I am very excited right now! Today the website that connects to this little blog has finally completed its transition through the weird digital universe of domain transfer! That means that it works again and I can finish rebuilding. Now I just need to learn how to do that. I guess.

If you’ve been here before on a computer then you might notice that things are already a little different looking.

If you’re reading this on a mobile device then (hopefully) you won’t notice much of a difference. Either way, go look at the menu and click on all the buttons and stuff. I MADE ALL OF THAT WORK! As far as knowing how the internet works, I’m basically Mark Zuckerberg now.

Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have all the pages up and running and filled with stuff for you to read!

I know that no one reads this blog, but I am still very happy that it is working again. It is a tiny little fraction of your life, but it is a pretty big part of mine. That’s how life works I guess.

What's Up With the New Stuff???

You may have noticed that the header and links that used to be up above are gone now. Not to worry! I'm in the process of migrating my domain between hosts. I know that sounds like something that happens in the movie Aliens, but it turns out that it is in fact not.

Basically I'm making some changes to how and where my site and this blog exist on the internet. It will take a week or so to get it all sorted out (but I've needed to do it for over a year). This blog won't be going anywhere, but everything else about the site is going to move over to Weebly's platform, which means I will actually be able to update things!

I'm in the process of building the beta version of that site now if you want to go look at it so far, but please do not bookmark it yet! The address will change once the domain transfers. Whatever the hell that means (Someone in tech support said it to me earlier today). I'm also going to figure out why the text of this blog only takes up half the screen. That started happening like two years ago, but I have just been really BUSY, okay?

You know what weirds me out most about all this? The previous incarnation of the site had been up since 2008! Without a single update! Right now though if you go type "standardkink.com" into your browser, there is nothing there! POOF! All gone in an instant. It makes me a little sad, you know? But it had become a necessity because so much of the old code was breaking and because it was time to pay the old hosts or find some new ones. 

All of that is probably more information than you require, but half the reason I haven't been writing here much lately is because I was secretly a little embarrassed about all the small things breaking down on the site and my inability to fix any of them. Soon we will be back up and running, pretty and new, though different, which will be strange.

I'm only half serious about using this picture here.
Also, I finally figured out how to caption pictures!

Hail, Caesar! My Mom’s Movie Review.

A NOTE FROM THE EDITORS HERE AT STANDARDKINK: Sometimes my mother emails me her thoughts on recent movies and sometimes I post them here without telling her I am going to.

Recently she went and saw Hail, Caesar!, which I have not seen yet. I have read several professional reviews, but I honestly think this one is the best I’ve come across:

I had thought that, since this movie has George Clooney and the Coen Bros, it would be a clever comedy. Actually, it was neither!

Sure, there were some funny (stupid) gags and George Clooney was in it, but it was much more Josh Brolin's movie. Wayne Knight was a wonderful villain,  which he does so well. But, he was only in it about 5 minutes. Channing Tatum is surely a rival for Gene Kelly in the tap- dancing category. He was really good. But, once again, for only about five minutes. The cowboy star was good, but he should have had a much bigger part. Josh Brolin was very believable as the studio boss, but his constant praying was uncomfortable. Scarlett Johansson might as well not even been there. Frances McDormand was funny, but once again, was only on screen about 3 minutes. Oh, Josh Brolin's secretary was well played.

All in all, there was basically no story - except George's kidnapping- and the talent of all these actors was just wasted. I would see it again if it was free!

Otherwise, when it was over, you Dad and I looked at each other and said, WTF?

How awesome is my mother, BTW?
