This week, I'm reading the first part of the twenty first chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. Before we get to the reading, there are a few noteworthy announcements:
-I finished a set of breaking training cards to help add an element of randomization to solo dance practices. Those are available on itch.io and are free to print out. I will make a physical version of the cards and an instructional video in the coming weeks but to anyone that might find them useful, they are available now. I ended up using animations that were originally made for a breaking game I tried to make about 20 years ago.
-Speaking of animation, I made a pixelart animation for the song "Forward" to go with the release of Once Upon a Dream (6/13/25). That video is available here.
This week's reading of the Rocketeer chapter accompanies the section of the film where things come to a climax over the skies of the Griffith Observatory. You can watch the exciting shootout here.
