I don't miss tapes. DVDs and CDs are next to go.

Oh God I'm old.
I say some of these things. sigh
Hubzam and I accidentally left the television on and walked in on some of the Saturday morning cartoons that are currently on. This started a huge conversation on the way we used to look forward to the new cartoons Saturday each year. It was a BIG deal in our neighborhood. What happened to cartoon hype and excitement?
Then I saw some of the cartoons...I get it now.
