Happy Birthday to Me

Old Ain’t Dead is now a little over a year old. The accompanying twitter account @OldAintDead is also a year old. It doesn’t feel like a year has passed, but you know how time seems to fly when you get older.

In that year, I’ve published 260+ posts. If you’ve read any of them, if you’ve commented on any of them, if you’ve talked with me on Twitter, I want to thank you. Thank you for your time and attention and for encouraging me along this pop culture journey.

My first post was about Lost Girl, and I’ve mentioned Lost Girl 28 times since then on this blog.

I’ve also talked an awful lot about other women-centric TV such as Orphan Black, Last Tango in Halifax, and Orange is the New Black.

A whole boatload of movies featuring interesting women have been brought to your attention, and even a few movies featuring interesting men. There have been a few web series that have caught my eye, particularly WIGS, which is only about women.

Once in a while in the past year, I have published opinion pieces about topics such as representation, role-models, feminism, and diversity in pop culture.

Whew, when I write it all down like that, it does seem like a lot. It’s been a busy year after all.

So happy birthday to Old Ain’t Dead. Here’s hoping for a successful year number 2.

Spread the love
