Featured

Story Time When I was a kid, I couldn’t sleep one evening and started taking apart my Spider-Man styled toy convertible sports car. (Why would he need one? I don’t know!). I also started tinkering with another model sports car I got as a hand-me-down. I found some hobbyist screwdrivers from a little drawer I … Continue reading “Goodbye, Playtime” | A POV on The Metaverse from someone who plays games →

Inside My Box | Words on 67 film tickets from the past 8 years

Spooked! | What really scared me when I was a kid

For Halloween I wanted to try and write something about horror and scariness and how it's very personal to everyone. I don't particularly like the horror genre in general as I don't really see the appeal of intentionally seeking out fear. The first horror film I can remember watching in the cinema is The Woman … Continue reading Spooked! | What really scared me when I was a kid →
