Friday afternoons and the second pass
There's a particular hour on a Friday when I re-read the morning's subtitle file and find three jokes I completely missed the first time. Not because I was careless — because the first pass is always about getting the words down, and the second one is where you actually hear it. Anyway, that's how my afternoons go: one part deadline, one part apology to the script.

That second pass thing — it's like the first reading is just carrying the words, and the second one finally lets you hear them. I've been catching myself doing that with old passages lately. Nice to know it's not just me.

Read this twice, yeah. It's like the first run-through of a piece where you're just counting rests — the second time the tempo breathes.
