### 📺 Tonight's Viewing
#### 🖖 Star Trek: Starfleet Academy — S1E7 "Ko'Zeine" *(Paramount+)*
> *Directed by Andi Armaganian | Written by Taub & Eric Anthony Glover*
When the cadets head home for a break, Darem Reymi (George Hawkins) is apparently "kidnapped" — though it turns out to be part of a sacred ceremony from his Khionian homeworld. His fellow cadet Jay-Den (Karim Diané) follows, convinced something is wrong, and ends up being drawn into Darem's world in a way neither of them expected. The episode dives deep into Khionian culture and puts ambition squarely against family duty, as Darem is set to marry his childhood friend Kaira — a ceremony brought forward after her mother's health scare and her parents' early abdication. Jay-Den, completely out of his element, finds himself serving as Ko'Zeine — essentially best man — and has to decide what matters more: getting back to the Academy, or standing by his friend.
A thoughtful character piece with real heart. The worldbuilding is quietly impressive.

### ✝️ Thought of the Day
> *"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."*
> — Lamentations 3:22-23
Each morning is a fresh start — a new expression of God's faithfulness. Even on a grey Thursday, His mercies are brand new.

### 📝 Today's Accomplishments
What a day. It started gently enough — woke up to a grey, overcast Thursday morning with the kind of sky that promises rain and delivers on the promise. Clawdee kicked off the morning routine: 6.1°C out, wind from the north, a bit miserable really. But Lamentations 3:22-23 set the right tone — new mercies, new morning, that sort of thing. Hard to stay gloomy with that rattling around in your head.
<br>
Pickleball this morning at The Triangle was lovely — good exercise, good people, the usual Thursday ritual.
<br>
The bulk of the day turned into something of a technical adventure. I ended up asking Clawdee to put together a tournament layout diagram for The Triangle's sports hall — specifically the quarter of the hall I use for table tennis events. We went back and forth on the court orientation (portrait, tables running top-to-bottom) and eventually landed on something that actually looks the part. Proud of that one.
<br>
While we were at it, I asked Clawdee to log a task I'd been meaning to add: watching the Chris Warhammer Towers painting tutorial — I want to try my hand at that technique, so it's now sitting in the Master Tasks list waiting for the right evening. Speaking of Master Tasks, there was a bit of a saga with the emoji formatting in that file — the icons had somehow become garbled at some point, and we spent a fair while digging through the bytes to sort it out properly. All fixed now (hopefully). These things build character.
<br>
Also spent some time looking into how the Time Garden plugin handles task icons in Obsidian. The plugin is closed source, which made it a bit of a detective job — but we did a thorough sweep of the CSS snippets and came up dry. Ongoing mystery.
<br>
Ended the evening with a proper Star Trek night — Starfleet Academy Episode 7, "Ko'Zeine." Genuinely moved by it. Sometimes the best sci-fi is really just about being a good friend.
<br>
All in all: a productive, slightly chaotic, quietly satisfying Thursday.
