QBN log 3.8.21
Oh wow, it's been 9 or so days since my last log. I'll be sure to clog the toilet this time. So, uhh... nothing much to report. The theater has been packed and everyone has seemed to forget about the Borg. They want to explore the galaxy without our shields. Cocky bastards. I saw Wandavision. It was fine. My thoughts could be found here https://www.qbn.com/reply/401015… Sulu has been hanging out with the guys, I think he will be okay. I want to tap that Uhura ass but it's a delicate situation with Sulu. How much time should I wait before I make a move? Maybe I won't make a move. Maybe, I will be a man of supreme honor. I won't break the man code, I'll ... who am I kidding, I'm a hornball. Could I get cancelled for these thoughts? Computer, end log. Computer...

I have been posting too much on QBN lately, I'm having too much fun and going into ADHD-triggered posting rituals with my morning coffee. I have to knock it off, the locals have been complaining. https://www.qbn.com/reply/401089… I may have even triggered a meltdown by the username Peter Pancake due to my consecutive posts on pic of the day. https://www.qbn.com/reply/401089… Luckily, the QBN mods quickly cleaned up the mess. I will have to suck it up, face Uhura and maybe take the Enterprise on a joyride through the galaxy to clear everyones minds from the ongoing Borg pandemic. The crew's monitors have been being bombarded with substandard images which could only be curated by the Borg. Nevertheless, we continue forward. We...will... not be deterred. Computer, end log.

I saw Almadobar's 'The Skin I Live In' last night. I saw the Hitchcockian influences, without a doubt. Then, this thread happened https://www.qbn.com/reply/401287… and it got me thinking about how there can be binary paths of thinking when it comes to the ethics of human freedom. The totalitarian wants to limit the human consciousness in an attempt to keep it in line with the 'natural way' the totalitarian has been trained to live in. This religious-friendly, divinity-based, self-righteous path may frown at body-transformation, suicide, and other perceived perversions. Then, of course, we have the non-repressive ethos. These ethos would allow someone to push the boundries of their realities to pursue that which their mind wants, with consequence to the vessel of the body, maybe. If the consciousness desires a change of gender to be at peace, these ethos would allow the freedom. If the consciousness desires a merging with technology, or a strange piercing or even euthanasia, it is these ethos that would allow the experimentation, and/or relaxation of the limitations we put on our fellow beings to fulfill their desires without judgement. The totalitarian's goal, in essence, is a parental-figure that wants to control the person to help that person be the ideal being that the totalitarian has visualized. The non-repressive ethos, which some label as 'liberal', would find satisfaction in the allowance of the being to find it's happiness on it's own. With it's own self-exploration, as macabre as it may be.

My tabloid-triggered retrospective of Woody Allen films ongoing, I viewed 'Whatever Works' last night. Seeing Larry David try to act is slightly cringey but he delivers a few laughs. This is Woody Allen's dialogue at it's most cynical and grumpy and I can't say I can't relate with it at times. After watching Woody's films again after a long hiatus I think I can understand with my feminist acquiantances when they say that his stuff has an aire of mysogyny to it. He tends to write from the perspective of the male and you can't really fault him for that, he is a male. And perhaps a sicko perv, allegedly with Whatever Works containing plenty of shots of a beautiful young Evan Wood in her underwear. A joy to shoot, surely... but Allen's writing does delve deeper than the usual shallow Hollywood flair. Sicko mysogynist or not...his work is a notch above the norm. Whatever Works is sweet movie that oozes honey from a pit of universal despair and it comes together succesfully.

My Woody Allen retrospective is ongoing. Tonight I saw Manhattan Murder Mystery. Quite an interesting cinematic exercise and truly another absolutely classic New York picture. Funny to see an aging Woody and Diane Keaton reunite and spark their old magic after a hiatus. Surely Mia Farrow wasn't happy to see him replace her in the starring role and reunite with an old friend but after the traumas of that relationship I'm sure it was exactly what Woody needed artistically and spiritually. Woody's soul completely sold to the silver screen at this point for better or worse. Top notch.

Things are going well. I've seemed to pass the BORG's effects and have become productive again so I've been working even though my day/night intervals are wonky. I'm working nights and sleeoping days until I start sleeping nights and working days. It's fine until I have an appointment at the bridge. Then I have to be sure to put the alarm on.
Highlights this week from planet QBN:
https://www.qbn.com/reply/401449… - Benny Hill meets 90's dystopian urban action
https://www.qbn.com/reply/401447… - The legendary Italian Spiderman. I love it.
https://www.qbn.com/reply/401456… - Lemmy comes back from the dead with a good PSA

Log. Things are well this post-valentines day. I made love to a beautiful nymph. Fantastic. What a body and sex drive. I'm a lucky man with a wealth of life, at what point do I choose a companion based on sexual chemistry? I hope my shipmates are doing well, not everyone is as blessed as me or as slutty. It may be time to meet with our ship's spiritual guru again, Sir Alan Watts.
I'd like to ask him how to deal with the onslaught of negs I've been getting here on the QOOB. Nevertheless, things are lovely.
