There Were Tears

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
I've used this image before, I'm sure. It brings to mind the ships of the Daemon from Skylark. I got this one from wallpaperaccess.com.
I did not go to training last night.  I didn't want to get everyone sick, so instead I went home.  I finally felt emotionally ready to finish watching The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.  I only had two episodes to watch.  The show had wrecked me emotionally up until that point, so I needed some serious recovery and to get myself together before I finished out the series.  It didn't help that I was fast approaching con season and was too busy to breathe, let alone sit for two hours and watch some television.

Anyway, I finished the series.  There were tears.  Still, it was well worth the watch.

I really loved this series.  I loved what they did with it.  I am as enamoured of this series now as I was with the original film when I was a child.  It was a stunning piece of art.  I loved it so much, I also watched the making-of documentary.  It made me smile.

It also made me feel like I'm missing out.  On what, exactly, I could not tell you.  But I felt a little sad that I wasn't part of something so incredible and so filled with such passion and energy.  Writing, as you know, is a very solitary sort of thing, at least for the most part.

In high school I was involved in amateur theatre.  While performing in front of an audience was not my favourite (I'm going to say that I was a fine actor, but crowds are not my scene), I really do miss the enormous collaboration that each production was.  I miss helping build the sets, and painting, and the rehearsals (even when they were incredibly boring).  Watching the making-of documentary made me realise just how much I miss that kind of large-scale collaboration.  I have few happy memories of my time as a youngin' but my days in amateur theatre carry many of them.  Maybe I should find a theatre group and help out.

​Who am I kidding?  I haven't the time.

Anyway, I finally finished watching The Dark Crystal and I loved it.  So now there's really nothing that I'm excited to watch until The Witcher comes out in December.

That's a good thing, I guess.

Out of curiosity, what are you watching or what are you looking forward to watching?  Let me know.  For now, though, I have to go work.

​Ciao!
