Hello everybody,
I hope you all had a good week. My week was pretty relaxing. I’m slowly making progress on a new Twine project. I figured I’d try my hand at cosmic horror as that is one of my favorite types of horror. I love seeing monsters that are just beyond reason and have unknown desires. Things that drive you mad without even having to try. I’m also continuing to learn how to code in Java. Most recently my lessons had me learning about loops. It’s interesting cause for the most part I know what the different terms mean, but now I’m learning how they actually work. It’s complicated, but I’m making progress. In my free time I’ve had my D&D campaigns. In my Curse of Strahd campaign, gothic horror story and setting, we had a player death. The player sadly had a run in with a bunch of monsters known as Shadows, think Dementors. They sapped away her strength and she died at least a semi peaceful death. The players new character though is going to be really interesting and I’m looking forward to introducing them. We’re about to start getting into the meat of that story so I’m excited to see how my players handle it.
Yesterday was also the 4th of July. I always loved the 4th of July ever since I was a kid. Launching fireworks and making an explosive show of light is just a lot of fun. I remember growing up and going to a farm to launch fireworks and have a big party. I also heard a new story of me as a kid launching fireworks. I always thought I used a punk to launch fireworks growing up, but apparently that’s not true. One of the times when I was little apparently instead of using a punk someone gave me their cigarette to light fireworks with. Now was that a smart idea I doubt it, but I love the image of me lighting fireworks with a cigarette. I’ll also say I don’t know how long I used the cigarette to light them or when it was taken from me, but it’s still hilarious. On a more serious note, though, as much as I love fireworks and the 4th of July I’d be okay if it went or changed. I know a lot of people don’t like celebrating it for various political reasons, but for me I’ve never cared about the Independence Day part of it. The 4th has always been an excuse to hang out with friends and family while we blow stuff up. I’m also well aware of the effect fireworks have on animals and veterans. I’d love if we could find something else to do on the 4th instead of fireworks that was fun for everyone. Maybe someday we’ll have more easily accessible laser light shows or something.
Well till next time my friends. I hope you all have a good week. Hopefully, soon enough I’ll have some more exciting news on my job hunt or side projects.
