[136] [028] Try, try again

[merridia]

Have started my day out right by dumping a bottle of Diet Pepsi all over myself. Huzzah!

I feel I must have liked Drive more than I remember liking it because I was listening to the soundtrack last night and it gave me all these feelings. Weird.

These have been your random observations of the morning as I head back to the salt mines.

When we last left you and your valiant crew, you were beaming down onto a planet with no land masses to exactly the result you might expect from such a thing. DO-OVER. Thanks to a freak dimensional shift or possibly Science Officer Spaceman's older self traveling through time and changing his past, you instead find yourself beaming down to the pretty green planet. Let's do it!

You take up orbit position round the green planet. Scanning the surface you find an abundance of vegetation and animal life, but there are no signs of intelligent inhabitants.

Once again, you are accompanied by your Science Officer and your Head Redshirt.

You enter the Transmatter Unit and minutes later you materialize in a dense jungle on the planet. As you get your bearings, you hear a sound. In the distance, coming closer, is something large crashing towards you through the undergrowth.

I felt kind of like that about Drive, actually, after the first time I saw it. Like, I remember thinking, at the time, that I'd enjoyed it well enough, I just didn't know what the fuck it was I'd actually seen, and then, like, weeks after the fact, it had wormed its way into my head and I was having all these feelings? i d e f k but obviously I am in love with it, so.

Exactly! I thought I liked it, but these were not the feelings associated with a movie I just thought was pretty good. I think I need to watch it again without my grandfather bitching whenever people would just sit around for five hours without talking. XD

A normal person would say 'hide, but draw your phaser too, just in case.' I don't think we're that smart. :p

[merridia]

Out transporter takes, like, half an hour to reassemble our atoms; our phasers probably misfire if they're not held at arm's length at all times. XD

I still have not finished watching Drive. I'm sure at one point I'll get to the point of it where stuff happens and then I'll finish it.

And I think it means 'draw' in the artistic sense, like make a sketch of them. Which you cannot do while hiding.

You need light for these things, honestly now!
