"Under a swollen silver moon I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom."
I'm feeling a lot better. Still coughing, but the headaches are weaker, the vertigo is gone, and I don't feel as tired as yesterday. I had weird dreams last night, mostly because I've been binge-watching True Detective. I just finished watching the last episode, and holy shit, what a great series. As others have said before, we now live "in a world where movies have been replaced by tv as the media for grown-ups", and it's never been truer. This series is basically an eight-hour-long movie, a masterpiece in the serial killer genre, with superb acting, amazing cinematography, fantastic dialogues, and great directing. The tracking shot in episode four had me squealing in joy, I've already downloaded the unofficial soundtrack, and I just added the boxset to my Amazon wish list.
In other, depressing news, I don't know if any of you are Marion Zimmer Bradley's fans, but just in case, there's been some terrible news about her last month that made me throw all her books away. You can read about it here, just be advised, trigger warning for pedophilia. If it's too hard for you to read, but you'd still want to know about it, just ask me and I'll write you an abridged version of what happened.
And now for something wonderful to lift our spirits, here's a video of a drone flying through a fireworks show. It's probably the most beautiful thing ever posted on youtube:
The original music was Bocelli's Con Te Partirò, but they had to change it for copyright reasons. Since the new song sucks, here's a link to the original song. Just turn off the audio on the fireworks video and let Bocelli sing in another window. Trust me on this, the final result will bring tears to your eyes.
