Been Intending Using This Blog As A Notetaking Place For Things I Read. Might As Well Commence With Michael

Been intending using this blog as a notetaking place for things I read. Might as well commence with Michael Ende's The Neverending Story, see how this goes. I read some of this book in elementary or middle school, but the green/purple print kind of hurt my eyes back then for some reason, so I didn't get very far. No problem with it now, so let's see how this goes.

(Anyway also for the record I've seen all three films ofc. The second one, doesn't suck? The third one, well... well anyway the second one doesn't suck. (There's apparently a cartoon or something as well but I don't know anything about that.))

Okay, getting into it, Ch 1

Being a will o the wisp sounds awesome

Be genderness

Carry a li'l flag

Lead fools to destruction

Night hob in the book:

Rock chewer's said-bookism is "crackled" n’ I just love that

Okay, so the lake not being there and not even a big hole there but nothing, that was a lot more terrifying in the movie; in the book they have time to clarify that it at least looks like blindness, and in the movie it leaves the details up to the imagination.

This bit is a lot more terrifying though: in the book the Nothing has this, pull? And so people just get swallowed up by the Nothing on purpose.

Back in the real world, the book mentions Bastian's ability to sensuously place himself in whatever he's reading- feel the textures and hear the voices and smell the smells. Foreshadows his physical inclusion into the book later on, but also... Like, it isn't that difficult to do with this book? The prose is so good, and describing such imaginative details, it's so like entirely immersive. Having trouble with remembering to stop and take notes on occasion.

Every corner of Fantastica is just, the cantina scene from Star Wars, isn't it.

Blfrgfgzsshg Rock Chewer just, EATS his own bicycle. Thought rocks were supposed to be even better than Lembas bread for a rock viewer, but I guess Pyornkrachzark was just very, very hongry.

Been watching Jurassic Park since forever and it's only upon waking up just now that I realize that when the digger at the beginning says "Because Grant's like me- he's a digger" he's talking about Grant ??? the nAME HE SAYS?? and not referring in some weird metaphorical capacity to, Hammond?

It has been, my apprehension, the whole time somehow, that the line "Because Grant's like me, he's a digger", referred to John Hammond., CEO of inGEN, (notably neither a digger nor named anything close to Grant).

All this time I'd been reading that scene with a weirdly philosophical bent, but nope, they were being literal with it.

and now I’m figuring out the ropes of doing text threads or whatever they’re called on here, trying to track down what the first thread was so I can make some joke about that?? and apparently like, yeah twitter was called twttr and that’s what its NAME was and it automatically tweeted that, as you were setting it up, so the first seven tweets after that were also “just setting up my twttr”

I think about that first tweet sometimes, just setting up my twttr, like atJack was really that afraid of running out of characters already. twttr. Classic.

So anyway, just setting up my tmbler
