I finished the southern reach trilogy can you tell
Hahaha, was trying to casually stitch multiple recordings and photos that were poorly taken into one video, and it turned out quite well (to me)!
I was exploring rooftops and hoped to have a peaceful dinner on the rooftops with the spectacular urban landscape. Things didn’t turn out well initially, as I was caught by a manager just a moment before the lift opened. Luckily I managed to circumvent him later by befriending a Bangla worker there and he guided me around with authority. 👈🏻– although it isn’t cool that way, but at least got free narration for the entire tour on the office building 😝
Kudos to those rooftopers out there. They are terrific. The whole process I was preoccupied with fear&anxiety… it’s like entering into a condominium as an uninvited guest and going into the ⛔️restricted area (both by policy and by law) 🚷👮♂️

The Pillowman
After the older stories by the Grimm Brothers, A Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Lottery in high school--finding the newly written “The Pillowman” was like a breath of fresh air. Another story that twisted your world upside down and had an element of supernatural while also being so accurate about the aspects and attitudes of human nature, just made me feel so at peace.
The Pillowman is fascinating to me as overall it’s a short story, quick read but has so much depth. There is very little filler, you find out what you need and that’s that. Also, there is great complexity and skill to someone who can make you sympathize with someone who should be seen as evil--whether or not they truly are evil or that sympathy is warranted
