arksterToday was my day off.
I spent upwards of three hours in a lawn chair set inside the open shack by the lily pond, watching soft rain drop into the water. I practiced harmonica and smeared pastels on paper, and read about a hundred-some-odd pages of Victory of Serpents.
Which is quite good, by the way. Naomi Novik has done that thing she does once again, and also auuugh, wild Australia, how are you so full of poisonous and terrifying beasts.
Serenity, yeah. That.
Also, LJ is unblocked. Or at the least, blockage is intermittent. Good enough for me.
ps. West Side Story, the revival, was quite excellent. I'd never seen it before. The choreography was lovely and the leads poured their hearts and souls into it - everybody did, really.
But.
I'm really uncertain regarding the translation of much of the Puerto Rican dialogue into Spanish. As an interpreter it's seems to me that a language barrier has been inserted, extraneously, and to great detriment. As a (I like to think) socially aware citizen of New York, I'm pretty sure my dissatisfaction's a feature of my priivlege.
Mmh. It's difficult to sort out.
