January 31, 2020

Again, I recommend more 80s Japanese music to listen to as you read: this one in particular struck a chord of tender nostalgia. I’ve listened to something similar as a kid, but every time I hum the tune I remember to my mom, she cannot place the song. It’ll take me a few days to … Continue reading "Update:「Week 3」+ Analysis"

As I mentioned in my last week’s summary, I was hoping to watch They Live (1988) on my roommate’s Hulu. Unfortunately, that requires another subscription to something called Starz – which, as you can infer, my roommate doesn’t have. So I’m left again to rely on summaries and my memories of watching the movie 5 … Continue reading "The Apex of Megalomania, the Ultimate In-Control"

Enjoy a picture of my family and I from early 2000! Guess which baby I am.

January 31, 2020

One of my shticks from my Intro to Digital Studies course last semester was that I made quite a few pieces of interactive fiction. They were told in the second-person perspective using “you” to refer to the main character, who is intended to be an insertion of the reader. I like the style, for it … Continue reading "I’m a real boy."

Enjoy a picture of my cat that I used for my Daily Create! Here is some mood music. To enjoy while you read: This week was very hard.
