Our shapes are blurring under miracles of snow
I am sick again! I really resent it! ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch started coughing and then I started coughing and then it hurt too much to swallow all night. I was really looking forward to being able to sing without congestion again. Maybe it will be a bug of brief duration. I had an immune system once that mostly attacked things that weren't me.
I dreamed I went to see a movie set during the American Revolution and spent most of it internally screaming because there were ballistae at the Siege of Boston and the field of battle was the contemporary landfill of Dorchester Heights as opposed to the eighteenth-century peninsula. This must be how medievalists feel all the time.
Festivids has generated a magnificent, as yet anonymous vid for Yoon Ha Lee's Ninefox Gambit (2016), called simply "Ninefox." It's a wonderful visual poem of the novel, complete with geese and green onions and faction symbolism and jeng-zhai. I want to see some of the source media and I want to see a good adaptation of these books. I kind of fancast Jedao once already.
I didn't know Albania had a Jewish museum beforeshewhomust linked about it. I like knowing.
Today is for laundry and groceries, I think.

It's been a really bad Winter for these infections- so mild!

Thank you! I do resent winter colds without sufficient winter snow.

That video is awesome! Gorgeous music, and really clever, apt images!

Thanks. It just feels really unfair.

I am not a hard sell on vids in that I don't need to be persuaded to appreciate or enjoy them as an art form, but I just don't watch very many, and I really love this one.

Thank you! I had just better get some respite between this and the Season of Allergies.

Whoever created it should be justifiably proud of themselves.
(I'm drinking a lot of hot water and going to make noodles for dinner, on the theory that I don't feel like swallowing anything with edges.)

I am not a visual media person any more at all, and the other day someone recced a couple of Magicians vids and I loved those books but haven't seen the show and...the vids did not make me regret that choice. Basically I expect visual media about stories I like to make me enjoy those stories less, not more. This did not!
I am fighting a headache which is part stress and part failure-to-eat-things (these...aren't disconnected phenomena) so I sympathize.

Awesome!

That is a great compliment to the vid-maker.
I enjoy visual media very much, as can be seen by the fact that when it came time to start a Patreon, I did so for film criticism, but I am equivocal on visual media made from books I really care about, so I loved how much this vid felt like the novels it was drawn from.

Sympathy back at you. I hope you have eaten, or soon can.

Being sick again is ridiculous and resenting it is ENTIRELY REASONABLE. >.< May this one be fleeting.

Thank you!

I hope you feel well soon!

Heh, I think most of us grow thick skin for it? Also, I'm pretty sure that there are more and worse violations of classical stuff....

I'm looking forward to the reveals if only so that I can see what else the vidder has done.
I hope you feel well soon!
Thank you. I have to sing on Tuesday, so.

Almost certainly, but I try to avoid them!
