    My First Convention

    I'd been meaning to put this up earlier, but well, better late than never.

    Tomorrow and through Sunday, I'll be out of town - my dad and I are going to a convention over in Beckley. Dad's going to be vending a table there to try and sell some books.

    Thoughts on Harakiri (1962)

    Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish. :scootangel:

    Thoughts on Galaxy Quest

    Finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on this one. I had heard plenty of good things about it from my parents, though I had yet to see it. Finally, we rung in the new year by watching "Galaxy Quest" with dinner.

    I watched Godzilla x Kong yesterday

    And all in all?

    It was fun. Good mindless monster mash of a film. Funny how much some of the stuff with Kong in the movie made me think, just a little, of Primal. If only for the lack of dialogue and the importance of character through action and expression.

Another Update, Another Collab · 6:21am Feb 29th, 2020

Hello all. Just wanted to share a bit of a general update.

This month has been an odd mix of relaxed and hectic. On the one hand, I've been able to have fun on the gaming front in playing the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which has been very enjoyable and hectic... on the other hand, there's been a fair share of problems with my extended family that, while I shan't burden you with the details, has pressed down on both my parents and me as well.

That being said, I do have good news too. For one, I entered an original short story of mine in a local writing contest last week, so I'm hoping that that might pay off. (Fingers crossed please, I could use some of that prize money! XD)

But for another - I'm happy to report that I am also working on another collaborative story with FourShadow! This one, called "Friends and Lovers" is based around Valentine's Day and - aside from editing/proofreading work - I am directly writing two chapters in it as well. :pinkiehappy: One of them has already been posted (it's the second chapter), so if anyone is curious to actually see a direct sample of my prose on this site, you can mosey on over to check it out! (Some prior knowledge for 'The Shattered Verse' would be recommended, though I don't think it's too complicated that it can't be figured out or enjoyed on its own.)

I'm quite happy with the way that it's working out so far, and as always, I'm grateful to FourShadow, thanks friend! :twilightsmile:

Anyway, that's it on my front. Hope everyone else has had a good February.
