WISH FULFILLMENT

For October, I want to re-post this flash fiction short story I originally wrote
on 3 September 2018, called “Wish Fulfillment.” I share it here in its original
form. I was probably rewatching a lot of old Twilight Zone episodes around the
time I wrote it, because I have a

THE WRITING APP I WANT

I have a pretty clear idea of the writing app I want, and I don’t think it
exists. What I’m looking for is an app which lets me control a document’s
content, structure, and presentation separately from one another, at composition
time. Usually, content,

TWILIGHT ZONE: “YOU’RE THE DEVIL!”

It’s cold, dark, and wintry just now, so obviously I’m watching old Twilight
Zone episodes (from the original series run) to feel cheery and festive. In any

SEVERANCE: “LET’S BURN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND.”

I’ve officially made something in 3D for the first time. I’m posting just to

I’ve done is

WHERE IN THE ONLINE IS EMILY?

Social media chaos reigns. The center cannot hold. Mere anarchy is loosed upon
the world. Anyway, this post is just to update on where I am attempting to have
a social media presence of any kind: * Website: emily.news (obviously) *

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS AND CONTACT: “MY GOD”

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a wonderful movie for a hot summer night.
I’m astonished at how well Steven Spielberg was able to capture the vibe. Making
GIFs from the movie is especially hard, given the limited color palette I was
working with. video2gif commands video2gif

HYPERFIXATIONS OF THE NOW

Not sure if or how I want to try to use this website, but I am going to add a
list of my current hyperfixations to the site. “Hyperfixations” is probably not
exactly the right word. This is more about my ever revolving Lazy Susan of
special interests.
