Update from the house of Plague (Day 101 of Year 2)

House of plague confirmed (Darcy's PCR was positive).



Am not feeling great myself - just sort of all over achy, so I guess we'll see how it goes. If the daily posts stop because of actual covid I'll appreciate the irony for sure...

Somehow getting a notification for this story feels very apropos, given the state of my head at the moment:

Daily Dimash: Thousands Of Miles A Common Dream

The song is based on the poetry of Zhang Jiuling of the Tang Dynasty. The poem was written to comfort friends who are about to travel a long journey.


Longer video with context & subtitles:



Go to youtube to see more info/story/lyrics. All I'll note here is that Dimash dedicated the song to the medical workers of the Wuhan Union Hospital (the song was recorded on Jan. 8, 2020). The main objective of this show is to popularize the Chinese traditional fine arts among the young people through pop culture by having pop stars sing the texts of ancient poetry out to the audience.

He also performed 'Adai' on the dombra:

Dimash sang in New Year (2021-22) in China on the CCTV channel with Thousands of Miles, A Common Dream (万里梦同心), in a duet with Yingxi Zhang.



ETA: Lovely reaction. Make sure to add subtitles.

Didn't know you could do that.

Coming to the end of La luciérnaga again; almost at what I've decided is my favourite scene between Lucia and Mariana.

Cannot seem to get enough of this film. Can't speak a word of Spanish, but I've watched it so many times that I can almost see what's on the screen, even if my head is turned away.

It's like it heals my wounds this film. I could watch it all day and all night and not tire of it at the moment.

I'll have to get some sleep at some point; more than 24 hours now, and I still don't feel like sleeping.

I'll probably give that reaction a go when I've had some sleep; though your comments reminded me of a reactor I only know through Wynonna Earp; I have to send you something of his.
