So Long, Farewell

Auf Wiedershen, Goodbye.

It’s a short one for my last non-fiction post. You may have noticed that I didn’t post this Thursday, and that is because I wanted to make an announcement.
Friends, fans, it is with great sadness that I announce my retirement from non-fiction writing. I have my calling in fiction. I will mostly post rough drafts of my writings, but there will be some non-fiction from time to time. So you will (hopefully) still be able to find good content here, and, if you want to, you can comment on it. I know I would find that helpful.
So without further ado, goodbye.

I made a Medium account

I downloaded the Medium app today. I have bewitched by its slick interface and low barrier to entry. I wrote two ramblings, and then published the Aluminium Foil Interview there. I'll probably just keep writing ramblings. I'll reserve the blog for more thematic stuff. Don't expect anything.  So far, it seems like my stuff on Medium won't be seen by anyone unless they follow it. So I'm linking to my profile so that I can find it when I come back and look at this blog post. Maybe I'll finally get something to write about. Until then, goodbye.

Aluminium Foil Balls

My pride and joy. What are they? They're balls of aluminium foil. What are their uses? They are very versatile, and can be used for many things: paperweight, (bad) door stopper, toy, weapon, and aluminium foil storage, to name a few. My history with them My first meeting with aluminium foil was in the first standard. Like most moms, mine would wrap sandwiches and other assorted foodstuffs in the material. Like most kids, I would crumple it and play with it. But my interest went further. In my eyes, the purity of the aluminium was marred by the air in it, so I tried to bang all the air out of it. I ended up with a slightly denser, smaller ball. I couldn't compress it any further with my hands, but I wanted more density. My 10 year-old self's solution: More foil. So I added more foil, the source of which was the leftover from packed lunches. This also meant there were a lot of tiny pieces of food in the ball. I often wondered what would happen to them....
