This is not that impressive of a list since I have watched many of these movies before. However, I still think that this is a lot. Considering that the world is openingContinue reading “The Movies That Stuck With Me in 2021”

My Granddad Drives 50 Miles a Day
“Can you call your cousin?” my mom asked me. “Make sure she knows that she is picking up your grandparents.” “Why? Can’t Grandpa drive?” “He can but he really shouldn’t. He is getting old, you know.” “Yeah but we’ve been saying that for 20 years.” I think the family first considered this when my GrandadContinue reading “My Granddad Drives 50 Miles a Day”

Gunbuster (1998) Anime Review
As much as I love the mecha genre, I must admit that I am also somewhat dismissive of the actual works that encompass it. Mecha has such a rooted history, especially in anime. Perhaps, I feel too grown up to enjoy the likes of the super robot genre anymore. Even worse, I admit to havingContinue reading “Gunbuster (1998) Anime Review “

Where You Write[On Writing]

Modern Typewriters[On Writing]
I think people underestimate their writing tools. I started writing my stories on Lenovo laptops. I’m not big on laptops as a device class but they are a necessity for college students. I picked the Lenovo series, specifically the ThinkPad series known for their keyboards. They were really nice to type with, soft and bouncy.Continue reading “Modern Typewriters[On Writing]”
