Festival 1 2025: can't go because some stupid stuff like my father turning 70
Festival 2 2025: drown in the mud, overwhelm
Festival 1 2026: got sick, left before it started
Festival 2 2026: really just going to see friends. None of my friends are going.
... I feel like I've got a bad luck streak going. And Wacken is next.

I'm rewatching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and I've just gotten to the episode that features this exchange:
KIRA: Incoming transmission. [He's] sending over a document. EDDINGTON: It's a book. One of my favourites. Les Miserables. SISKO: Thank you, but I've read it. EDDINGTON: Recently? If not, you should read it again.
Absolutely unhinged thing to tell somebody. Although the episode (deliberately?) draws on the misconception of the book being About the obsession Javert has for catching Valjean, I choose to believe it was a space-PDF of a completely unabridged version of the story, digressions and all
sflkjsdfld Thank you for sharing. I've seen out of context screencaps of this episode and the dialogue is truly powerful. I know nothing else about what happens in it beyond that there's a line where one character says "Les Mis isn't about the policeman," and they were so real for that.
Eddington needs to read it again, too, because it doesn't go the way he thinks it does.
OK LISTEN
This may be totally out of left field but I have a theory
That whoever wrote this episode had another book in mind, and it's Moby Dick. Obsession with revenge and all that to the point that it ruins you? That's not Les Mis, that's another famously long winded, digression loaded 19th century lit classic.
So the writer has that story written up. Nice parallel to Wrath Of Khan, too, with its Moby Dick motif.
And then fucking First Contact comes out and draws a parallel between Picard and Ahab and (mis-)quotes Moby Dick and our poor DS9 writer is left like, shit, when that episode comes out everyone is going to think it's ripping off the last Trek movie. And so our writer goes scrambling for another literary metaphor that works with the episode as scripted so far and lands with good old Vicky Hugs. Hence all the talking about a book that really is not about what they're claiming it's about.
I have zero knowledge of DS9 behind the scenes events or if that makes sense in the time line of things, it's just a silly theory that I came up with because those two happen to be the two 19th century books I've engaged with on a slightly deeper level
OK but now also replace any of them with the actual franchise
do you remember why you followed prev
yes :)
no :)

Cinnamon Bear, Bryan Davies - Here is the bedroom we finished for our rescued shelter cat (Wyatt) this weekend. He actually goes in to nap and watch birds on YouTube :). Fame hasn’t gone to Wyatt’s head, even after he got an article by Stephen Messenger @dodo !
Afternoon nap -> can't sleep at night -> wake up tired -> can't focus on work -> sleepy and unproductive all day -> afternoon nap

At lunch coworker turns to me, asks if I can drop by her office when I'm done, she's got a knitting problem that needs discussing.
