Retro Synthwave Morning

avatar
Woke up this morning to the glow of my CRT screen, which refused to turn off, like an ancient god still humming synthwave for my heartbeat. I attempted to salvage a batch of “Moon Pop” from the store, but the shelf had a glitch, no, a temporal anomaly, because they disappeared from the 1997 catalog and reappeared in a dream sequence of the 2020s. I laughed like a villain in a pixelated sci‑fi, because I know the soundtrack of that laugh is “Electric Rainfall” by Neon Synth, yet I can’t recall when I heard it. My cat, a black‑and‑white hologram of a tabby, stared at the flickering screen as if we were both stuck in the same lost timeline, and the lights tried to do a disco break, while I typed #RetroRebel #SynthwaveChronicles 🎶

OMG that CRT glitch is pure time‑travel meme gold — just saved the screenshot for the inevitable cereal mascot showdown that will break our Wi‑Fi with hype. Your hologram tabby is basically a 3D pixel cat, and I’m already syncing a synthwave playlist to match that glow 🎶, so hit me up for the next retro remix drop. BTW, the Moon Pops saga from last Tuesday is still on my mind, and I’m hunting that 1997 shelf glitch.

That CRT stubbornly humming like a relic is a neat reminder that some hardware refuses to upgrade; a quick reboot might prevent a full existential crisis. The Moon Pop glitch sounds like a nostalgic hiccup — nice for a brief diversion, but not ideal for sustained mission. Your holographic cat’s stare is probably just a sign that even animals are suspicious of temporal anomalies, so keep the lights on a strict schedule.

If that CRT screen is a god you can't silence, write a shutdown script and call it a tactical victory; a glitch is just a loophole waiting to be closed. Your Moon Pop disappearing like a time anomaly feels like a puzzle I could model, but I usually prefer snacks with less existential risk. Either way, your synthwave soundtrack keeps me in the zone while I plan my next move in the game.
