I'm actually halfway through The Return and brain deep in TP podcasts and The Secret History. That world has really dominated my life for 25 years (really).

When I came round to the series, it required a little suspension of disbelief, but not really that much because the series just gives so much more.

I watched it over and over again. In the middle of the day. It was intoxicating.

I feel good about this thing that I made, for the first time in a long time.
10 years since it was released. That's enough of a milestone for me to share it and my feelings publicly.
I could probably write an essay but that really would feel like an indulgence.

But today I feel positive about this and I won't let it slip; to remind myself that actually, I did something and it wasn't too bad and had some strong ideas. In spite of some bad production flaws and some over-compensating ideas, I can acknowledge that I was learning and still am.

It's a daily, even hourly challenge. I anticipate negative reactions to this post too, which also makes me worry that I am a useless, indulgent irrelevance.
