My birthday present from [personal profile] nineweaving arrived this afternoon: Johnny Flynn and Robert Macfarlane's Lost in the Cedar Wood (2021), a pandemic collaboration inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh. I am pleased to report that so far it is exactly as great as one would hope from that description. I had been wondering what both of them were doing lately.

In other news, I have been absolutely stomped by this booster shot. I am now running only a moderate fever and my skin mostly doesn't hurt at the lightest touch, but the alteration of teeth-rattling chills and drenching sweats for the first twenty-four hours was some real pseudo-malarial funtimes. I am reassuring myself that it indicates a healthy immune response. My immune system almost never does anything healthy, so I should support its broadening horizons. At some point in the future I assume I will stop randomly falling asleep while sitting down to read.
