How little do you dream about the dangers of the seas

[sovay]

I am still in possession of a massive headache, but I slept a little more than ten hours last night, and at the end of a week of escalating insomnia I'll take it.

I dreamed of a vacation during which I watched and wrote about movies. Especially since the sea was involved, I give my subconscious no credit for subtlety, but I guess it's good to know its wants are in line with my waking ones. I owe a lot of reviews and would enjoy the time to write them. I also dreamed that I had broken my arm and needed it cast, but I had injured the same arm slightly during the day and I suspect I just rolled onto it in my sleep.

I have just begun reading Katherine Addison's The Witness for the Dead (2021). Thara Celehar was my favorite of the supporting cast of The Goblin Emperor (2014) and I am delighted to see him get a book to himself. It is also slightly difficult for me not to think of it as the Ethuveraz analogue of the Kyle Murchison Booth novel I have wanted for years. I am appreciating the presence of opera.

I am involved in a secret project. I haven't been involved in a secret project for years. By nature, I can't say much more about it at present, but it's exciting and a bit weird.

Secret project FTW!

And I'll be interested in your eventual reaction to The Witness for the Dead--I haven't read it, but I did read, just this year, The Goblin Emperor and liked it.

I hope the headache removes itself from your possession forthwith.

I'm delighted to see your remarks on The Witness for the Dead. I too was much taken with Thara Celehar and acquired the book eagerly, but my ability to read fiction, flattened by 2020, is still spotty, even with an author whose work I love as mich as I do Addison's. Your description was lovely. And I hope the headache gives up.

I hope the headache departs asap.

Although hurrah for dream books... and possibly dreams? *hugs*

ETA: Btw, saw this on tumblr and thought of you: https://foreignobjecticus.tumblr.com/post/655788381010313216

I have to ask - does your name come from the folk song?

Sovay Sovay all on a day
She dressed herself in man's array
With a brace of pistols all by her side
To meet her true love, to meet her true love, she ride
