I finally watched the DS9 documentary, and it’s every bit as good as I’d heard.
It kinda breaks my heart to have finally watched it and not have it on hold, waiting for me any more.
But Starfleet Academy is happening. And I know I’ll watch through DS9 again.
I don’t think I can picture ever not having a DS9 watch through in my future.
There was something bittersweet about my 2nd watch through of all of Stargate… because it’s a lot, and I’m not sure I will do that again.
But DS9? Never gonna not have a loop ahead. It is not linear.
I feel like most of my personality could be triangulated from Brian Wilson’s music, Star Trek DS9, and Watership Down.
Everything else is somehow just a vector of those three.
There’s a part in The Hours where Meryl Streep says:
“When I’m with him I feel… Yes, I am living. And when I’m not with him… Yes, everything does seem sort of silly.”
But you have to hear it the way she said it, and then… that’s kind of how I feel about DS9 & Brian Wilson.
The internet glitched momentarily, turning off my music mid-song, and even though I’ve been making AI music for half a year, my genuine immediate reaction was, “Ah, that tracks, I must’ve shifted back into the normal universe without AI music.”
Because that seemed most likely.
Me: drinks a ton of fluids and feels way better than usual
Also me: I did it, I drank enough fluids, now I can stop
Me later: why do I feel bad again???
