Sometimes it's all that I can do when I think about the president

[sovay]

To conclude the exciting events of yesterday, my voice gave out completely around midnight and I have been functionally mute ever since. Even whispering hurts. I've been trying to reserve it for the cats. As for the knee, I can put less weight on it than yesterday, but I can still put weight on it, so I am getting around the apartment with a cane, which is freaking the cats out slightly. I am filing this entire situation under "on beyond stupid." At least my DVD of Michael Almereyda's Experimenter: The Stanley Milgram Story (2015) arrived, so I can show it to derspatchel. And Yoon Ha Lee's "Extracurricular Activities" (dedicated to me I think because I kept nudzhing him for more sex in the space opera) went live at Tor.com today. And Rob just discovered that the Scoop 'n' Scootery in Arlington Center delivers coconut-milk ice cream in addition to the regular dairy kind and ordered me some. I had hoped to write about the enjoyable mostly awful science fiction we watched last night in defiant observance of some kind of Valentine's Day, but I haven't had the attention for it. I might just go back to bed.

Yai. I hope life stops beating on you soon! I will loan you Jedao to fling at your problems, if you like.

I may need to take you up on that offer! At least, I would find it satisfying to shoot some of these things. Much appreciated no matter what.

ACK. That's an awful number of assorted body malfunctions and pains to deal with all at once. *hugs* I hope you start generally improving quickly, and that your poor knee heals perfectly.

I'm glad there're some good things in there too.

Thank you! Me, too. My primary care physician didn't want to put it in a brace and didn't say anything about physical therapy, which I thought was a hopeful sign.

I'm glad there're some good things in there too.

I'm trying!

Ouch. :-(

[sovay]

Ouch.

Yeah.

That does not sound bad at all. I am spending a lot of time with Sxip Shirey.

I never knew that was Michael Almereyda! Didn't even know he was still working, actually. Thanks!

You're welcome! It's the only thing I've ever seen by Almereyda; I really liked it. Peter Sarsgaard makes a great Milgram.

I must have totally missed that review, but it's great. It really makes me want to see it.

I am pleased to report it's on Netflix right now, at least in the U.S. I have no idea if it is characteristic of Almereyda's style, but I think it's worth your time.

Well, that's a bit rough, about your voice/throat. :( I'm sorry, and rest up.

Thank you. Just tonight my voice has started to come back, in a sort of thready squeak, so I'm trying not to jinx it.
