* I left much later than I meant to this morning, as the cats were rather insistent and the car was dead again. I roused Squirrel and he kindly lent me his sponge braked behemoth and the last of his gas to see if we could sort out my tooth. It was not quite as alarming as it look when I had a mouth full of grit an three bits of resin filling in my hand, but it was bad enough to need repair. Two very nice ladies worked at it, the dentist doing lots of delicate work in between her explorations. I suspect from the shape it still isn't quite right, but she clearly got the bit that was causing the nerve to light up all the way to the ear. I was on empty by the time I got to the dentist, which made the drive home extra exciting on top of the brake issue, but I made it. This meant, of course no library, no forage, and no trip to get a bit of sandwich cheddar from the grocery near forage. Instead I came home, did a bit of neatening and weeding in the garden and went to bed to sleep off the Novocaine.
As I hadn't been able to nap before dentist, despite a good effort, I ended up reading the first half of the stunningly good Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson. Seriously, this thing is mesmerizing. 400+ years at least in the future, in pyramid city in what had once been Brazil, a young artist, her best friend, and his boyfriend, who isa Summer King from the poorest part of the city plot art and subversion all tangled up together. More like this please.
* For the record, the Alina Cojocaru Giselle blew me away. Her miming and face acting pretty much ripped my heart out, and her dancing was perfection: light and warm in the sunlit bits, heartbreaking in the mad scene, ethereal in the second act. I could not have asked for more. Giselle is Hard, and to make something so difficult requiring such an extreme level of control look weightless and disembodied? I have no words.
It is this one if you are curious: https://www.amazon.com/Giselle-Alina-Cojocaru/dp/B001E08TDA

Amians, Marseilles, Lisbon, MCR - I'm Not Okay
Camillo puts his hand on Tybalt's free hand while he speaks, listening quietly, ultimately nodding. "I will go with you one day if you wish," he says. "But I will not know what to say to anyone."
Tybalt brushes his lips against his cheekbone, "It will be fine, Luv. I would not take you even in Summer if I thought it wouldn't be." He kisses him again, soft and melting. After, fingers still twined with his Lemen's, he starts to follow the trail again, more careful of sleepy serpents this time.
