I want to show you something:

That's in front of my teevee. That's about one hundred or so DVDs - with more behind them - that I own but haven't seen. (You can see ET on top of one of those piles, I've seen only part of that.) I have a problem. I like to own movies, I like to have books... doesn't mean I've watched or read them. I won Rocky - never seen it. Shawshank Redemption? Nuh-uh. The Great Dictator? I'll get around to it. I started watching Sherlock and Doctor Who years after they were a thing!

I'm the same way with other stuff. You see, when I was a tater-tot, (I don't know why I'm going all southern on all of y'all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aICCLnBMJ5U).) my next door neighbors... wait. Farming community. Next door neighbors were about fifteen kilometers away.

My next door neighbors had Sega Genises' and Super Nintendos. I played both - but the first system I owned was a GBA SP.

I played games before that - Treehouse, Scorched Earth, Third Courier... When I was older, my brother showed me emulators and roms. I played Zelda, Illusion of Gaia, Secret Of Mana 3... about ten years after those games came out. My favorite games - Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill 2, Thief 2, Legacy of Kain: Defiance - I played those years after they all came out.

Well, tonight I picked up Frozen.

And Princess and the Frog and Maleficent. But you don't care about those because Frozen is the movie of the decade. And I haven't seen it until tonight.

When have you ever been late to the party?

The Princess and the Frog has some lovely bits.

I have to admit that I would be easily excitable and want to build a snowman with my girlfriend.

Oh gosh it's like someone singing a cover power ballad for LGBT rights!
