Something wonderful has happened! Several months after seasons 1-6 were removed from Netflix, all 10 seasons of Futurama are available for viewing on Hulu! This is the image I found upon signing in this morning: If you're not already a fan of Futurama, go watch it now. If you are a fan, watch it again. There's new stuff you'll notice every single time, starting with episode one where (SPOILER ALERT) a certain shadow is present, which is not explained until episode sixty-four . Also, Futurama is the only television show that had a writer prove an actual real-life mathematic theorem just to make sure the plot is consistent. No, really.  And if that's not a reason to watch a TV show, I don't know what is. Go watch Futurama on Hulu right now, or Robot Nixon wins!

UPDATED 9/2/2018 Today's deal is limited to students, unfortunately, and it's only tangentially tech-related, but it's just too good too keep to myself. Spotify Premium for Students with Hulu AND Showtime for $5 Spotify has ONCE AGAIN upped their Student Premium plan in a big way - by adding a Hulu limited commercials subscription completely for free AS WELL AS a Showtime streaming plan. Just pay the $5/month they were already charging for Premium for students and opt to add Hulu and Showtime to your account. There's even a 3 month trial for $0.99, if you haven't already signed up for Spotify Premium in the past. This offer only applies to the base, limited commercials plan on Hulu that costs $7.99 a month. You can't take advantage of this offer if you have the no commercials plan or subscribe to HBO through Hulu or anything like that. You can downgrade and sign up, but beware that you probably won't be able to add your Hulu add-ons and upgrades back...

I decided near the end of last year that I would read 24 books in 2017 (audiobooks included). I was reading a ton at the time, and that seemed like an entirely reachable goal, but not so easy that failure was impossible. Just a few days into April, I'd already finished 12 books, so my victory seemed certain. Then in May I hit the wall. I still read some, but not every day, and certainly not enough to keep up my pace. Not even enough to finish 24 by the end of the year. Unsurprisingly, it coincided with a downturn in my mental health, but as reading is one of the greatest things for keeping me happy, healthy, sane, and productive, the decline caused some major positive feedback. As I got more lost in my anxiety (and later, depression), I read less, which worsened my mood even more. But now as I'm coming out of my funk, and starting to write and keep up with my Digital Bullet Journal again, I'm also starting to get back to reading. And as part of that, I'm posting her...

Disclaimer: If you sign up using my link , you will receive an extra movie and I will receive 2 movies myself. You also have your commitment requirement knocked down by one! My family first joined the Disney Movie Club a few months ago, and we've already fulfilled our commitment, meaning that we're ready to sign up again, which will get us the entry package of 5 movies for $1 again, plus the bonus 2 movies on our old account for using our own referral link. Score! If you're interested in signing up, click below. Or if you just want to know more, read on.

From what I hear, blogging is something that takes a lot of work. That's not something I have personal experience with, despite the many, many blogs I've started in my life. Note the keyword there. Started . I've developed tons of ideas for blogs, named about a dozen of them, occasionally purchased a domain name ( VoraciousBooks.com being the best example, as I purchased it several years ago and am only now getting it off the ground), and in extreme cases, I've even written a post or two. But, then before you know it, that little demon known as anxiety poofs into place on my shoulder, and the angels of self-confidence and inspiration are nowhere to be found. It may take a couple of weeks, or it may only be hours. He convinces me that no one is interested in what I have to say. My writing isn't good enough, my ideas aren't original enough, and even if they were, I don't have enough of them to fill out an entire blog. When it comes down to it, that last...
