109,944. Yes, that's backwards. It's not actually losing ground - there are duplicate bits in the edits that are being merged into one. Not particularly productive on that front these days, even so.

I feel as though I'm in Remedial Geek Class the last year or two, having finally dipped a toe into Doctor Who, tabletop gaming, and now Star Trek. The latter has LONG been the Thing That Everyone Around Me Likes, But I Haven't Seen. Actually, both ST and gaming. DW is just That Thing That I Heard Is Good, But No One I Know Watches It.
Anyway, Netflix has Deep Space Nine on Instant Watch, and I love it. I'm aware that it's regarded as the black sheep of the franchise. That's OK. It's fun; I don't care.

I've been sewing a lot in preparation for an upcoming convention, and as a thought experiment - because some of this stuff is really repetitive - I try to come up with fanvid/AMV ideas for the music I listen to while working. Just to make things more challenging, I've also tried to wedge a whole album into one series. (Ex. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / Azumanga Daioh.) By necessity, this leads to tenuous and usually ridiculous connections, which are fun theoretically, but should probably never be made. I always find that sort of thing entertaining.
