Sunny today, but cold. After last night's low of 33F, we reached 53F.

A wretched day. I think I have had one good night's sleep in five. So, there's that. Today gets an L.

I did run across an old review, from 2019, of The Very Best of Caitlín R. Kiernan, that I'd never seen, and there was a bit that especially pleased me. Kathryn Adams writes of ( Read more... )

After a nightly low of 25F, we somehow made it to 51F. But with a nasty windchill.

I don't think I'm gonna say much today. I've hardly slept for three nights, and this was the day I started to feel it. So, whatever. I'll try to do better tomorrow.

Three documentaries today: two episodes of Nova, one on the role chariots played in the ( Read more... )

Sunny today and a high of 43F, after a nightly low of 35F, though to me it felt much colder.

I think I hardly slept last night. But I got up at 7 a.m., and I worked. I am having to teach myself again that writing is not something I do when I feel like doing it, when I am inspired. It is what I do that pays the bills, which has always been my ( Read more... )

Mostly cloudy today. Our high was 66F. Yesterday was pretty much the same.

I have waged a three-day battle with a chapter of The Night Watchers, and I am pausing in the scuffle to write something for Sirenia Digest 224. I need to get my breath and figure out why I can't best a single chapter. Oh, today I saw layouts for Zoetrope Bizarre, the short ( Read more... )

Partly sunny, or partly cloudy, today. A high of 61F.

I'm pretty sure I spent all day coloring monster doodles. Oh, and planning how to...wait, remember way the fuck back in the spring of 2012 when I was going to set up a podcast called Aunt Beast's Salt Marsh Home Companion? Well...that didn't happen, I know. Still, be that as it may. Beginning ( Read more... )

I can only chalk it up to a lack of exercise, poor health, worse diet, monotony, and the endless barrage of horrific national and world news. And really, that's enough to put anyone off their feed, I should think ( Read more... )
