Welcome to my blog! I hope you somewhat enjoy reading it. I plan to launch this and a YouTube channel by the end of the year. YouTube and this blog will both be about whatever I want. That is, whatever I feel like yapping about, I will type. YouTube I expect to edit down a little more, but this is truly unfiltered yapping into the void. This will also help a certain friend of mine avoid being messaged about my interests he could not care less about. So why not introduce those, with some favorite media?

My favorite band of all time (as seen by the embedded video below) is King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. I absolutely adore the band's ability to experiment with all sorts of music theory nonsense that I quite frankly do not understand. Maybe someday I'll bother to learn? I don't know though. Crumbling Castle, my favorite song by the band, is simply incredible. I love the 10-minute epic of a song that it is. The final build into the reprise of the first verse into the outro is easily my favorite part.
I'm also a little bit of a fan of both film and video games. I say a little bit, because while I absolutely love what I play of them, I really haven't watched a lot of the greatest films of all time, or played some of the greatest games of all time. But from what I have watched and played, my favorite film and game of all time are Kill Bill: Volume 1, and Portal 2. Kill Bill is my favorite film of all time simply because it is just a fun movie. I love watching Uma Thurman hunt down those who wronged her, and I especially want to highlight the climactic fight scenes in the House of Blue Leaves. The 1v88 sword fight is a top 3 action scene of all time in my opinion. Portal 2, my favorite game, I adore because it's just straight-up perfect. I love the puzzles, and the humor always gets me in that one. But in terms of film, I also have a Letterboxd account. The username is DrinkUrPotatoes, which unfortunately Dreamwidth will not let me link. So if for some reason, I became the sole authority on the quality of film, there is the place to look. To conclude my intro to myself, my favorite TV show is Better Call Saul, which is a fairly common pick, although I'm not the biggest TV watcher. I love the lawyer drama, I guess. Finally, my favorite novel of all time is Orwell's Animal Farm. The concept of communism being applied to farm animals, and watching the slow corruption into totalitarianism is such an interesting thing to write a book on, and George Orwell pulled it off (Almost as if he's critically acclaimed for a reason).

That's a brief introduction on me, I guess. I hope someone at least enjoys reading this to the level I enjoy writing this, although it's a very bold dream for anybody to read this at all. But that's about it for now. Have a good day, afternoon, or evening!
