Tooth and movie

I'm off to get my tooth pulled today. Since I'll be conscious I should have an experience I can put into my tooth story. Ugh, I'm not looking forward to this. This is the second tooth I've pulled while having this job. Both of them were molars and the last one had some of the roots left in because they were too hard to pull out.

I feel like writing a lot even though it is painful sometimes to write. I'd rather write than go get my tooth pulled. Feels like a crucifixion sometimes. I'm still fighting my inner critic but it's a daily fight that I have to get used to. 

Oh, that reminds me. I found a movie I've been meaning to see for a while called Mad God. It's done by the guy who did the special effects for Star Wars and other famous films. The trailer claims that it's a movie "30 years in the making." I'm guessing he came up with the concept years ago and I completly forgot about it. It was before I thought up KIY so this could be some great inspritation for my story. I'll post my thoughts later.

Finishing The King in Yellow: The Prophets' Paradise

The final story in Chamber's collection that has any connection to the King in Yellow. This story is made up of very short parts or chapters listed as: The Studio, The Phantom, The Sacrifice, Destiny, The Throng, The Jester, The Green Room, and The Love Test. I see a pattern of each story in Chamber's story of the themes around the King wanning away with each entry. This collection has the bare bones of what could be considered a reference.  For example, The Green Room mentions a character with a powdered face. This could be similar to a pale mask. But the analogies are so thin here that it's difficult to draw connections.

Silksong Thoughts

I've completed the first Hollow Knight about four years ago. I was going to replay it but then forgot all the deaths and headaches the game gave me. It's not a bad game, if anything, it's an amazing game. But jumping through hoops all over again with no guidance isn't what I would call a fun time for the second round. This new game feels like Super Mario Bros. The Lost Worlds. America never got the true edition of Super Mario Bros. 2. Instead, we got a reskin of Doki Doki Panic with Mario characters plastered on. And this was done for a good reason: Super Mario Bros. 2 The Lost Worlds suck. There's never been such a spike in difficulty between games in a series before or since. You are expected to make calculations based on the sudden change in wind to time your jumps, navigate ice-covered platforms and take on suped up enemies. This is how Silk Song feels to me. It's like the developers said, "You dared to beat the most difficult challenges in Hollow Knigh...

A Forgotten Legacy, Nonfiction

Of course my interests in Lovecraft are for his Cthulhu stories but what about his non fiction? Lovecraft, being an amateur scientist, completed several books on astronomy specifically on the Moon and Mars and other heavenly occurrences. He kept a magazine for Rhode Island for nearly five years and for some reason had a book about smelting. It's easy to forget that there's more to Lovecraft than the stories he wrote. I wonder if he had any influence on the scientific world. It's more likely that this was akin to a youtuber making videos on their favorite subject. Or similar to what I'm doing with so few, if any, viewers. That's okay with me, this blog is by and for me.
