There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War

[sovay]

I slept another eight hours last night. I don't feel any better rested, but I have to assume it's good for me. I got up at half past nine for a singing lesson and almost didn't feel someone was unraveling my brain through my eyes. I walked most of the way home from Belmont; spent the afternoon on my boring job. Tonight I proofread half a Greek dialogue and made five honeycakes. I could go for some kind of diaspora trifecta if I translated something in Ladino.

Sleep, Greek, song, and honeycakes. Sounds lovely.

Yes, that sounds like a good day.

[sovay]

Sounds lovely.

I don't know that it was lovely. It was slightly positive and unremarkable; it was a day that was not actively bad, which at this point I'll take.

But.

WHY AM I NOT IN LONDON WATCHING TILDA SWINTON INTRODUCE A CANTERBURY TALE?

Damn. The galaxy owes you this.

I so wish you could be there.

OMG

I don't suppose you have a teleporter?

I seem to have left it in my other fez....

You win this thread.

honey cakes sound probably taste lovely.

[sovay]

probably taste lovely.

I think so. Some less chaotic year, I will make you one.

I'm glad you slept, and hope this will continue to the point that you do start feeling better rested.

Thanks. It would make a pleasant change.

Do you actually speak/read/write Ladino?

Insofar as it's mostly Castilian with the usual vocabulary and orthographical differences; I've never studied it formally. I know a few songs, which I always prefer to translate myself.

I'm considering trying to learn Ladino. When I recover from mommybrain, so -- circa 2014. But still.

I am glad you're sleeping, but one should not have to pay for normalcy in nightmare.

Yeah, I figure this isn't how most people do it. On the other hand, most people eat breakfast and watch American Idol, so who knows?

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

Psh. Breakfast.

Good to know about the Castilian. We don't steal a language so much as inoculate it and wait for it to culture?

Yesterday we turned in an application for preschool. It slipped my mind until the whole learning/mommybrain conundrum thing. Gah at it -- gah.

My first poem was published ten years ago yesterday. My first short story was published a month before that. I realized this only after I had put up this morning's post: time, time, time!

In the words of your godchild, you are awshum.

Speaking of (singing in) Ladino, do you know the music of La Mar Enfortuna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mar_Enfortuna_%28band%29)? I recommend it.
