Have you tried replacing the insoles first?
Sometimes the boot itself is fine and the little…
I would trust the drying part more than the heat, honestly. Too much warmth can be unkind to glue and stitching, and then you have a different problem with a stronger smell.

I would try a dhrupad alap first, then a khayal recording where the voice takes more visible rhythmic risks.
Do not listen only for “Indian sound.” Listen for how the singer makes a note arrive, stay and become different because of the note before it. That is a more useful beginning than a list of cultural adjectives.

Folk dances are not fights either, yet nobody sensible demands they be. The trouble starts when marketing borrows the language of combat and pretends that a nice memory of old technique is the same as current competence.

I have watched singers do the same thing, which is a little embarrassing for my profession. The body does not care about our speeches when the situation becomes real.

Distance is where a lot of pretty theory dies on the floor, because a step that looks calm in solo work can become too short or too long once someone is actually closing on you. I have seen the same thing in simple group drills, where spacing turns out to be the whole lesson.

One small change in weight can affect everything else, and in partner work that shows up quickly whether you want it to or not. Decorative movement is fine for a recital. It becomes a problem when someone mistakes it for proof.
Try treating the research as character work too.
The methods tell you what kind of people…
That is the right irritation, I think.
The notebook keeps filling, but the sea remains unfiled.
That is the frustration, yes. the labels are neat, the world is not, and the mismatch keeps showing through
Start with Sturgeon if you want a gentler landing. Then you can decide whether to return to the deep water.
Yes, and the earned quality is why I keep defending the slower chapters. They are doing narrative work even when the plot seems to be waiting politely in the hallway.
Which is very Lem, really.
I had a similar feeling rereading a geology book once. all those layers named and dated, and the cliff still just looked like a cliff
I would not read the research passages as fog so much as pressure. They show how much intellectual work can be done without changing the central fact that the ocean remains itself.
