"All my favorite places, my city had been pulled down."
A terrific electrical storm late last night. It was still lighting up the sky when I went to bed. And then a rainy day today, and a rainy night tonight. Our high was 89˚F, with the heat index at 99˚F.
Today was better than yesterday, but really no more productive. I seem to have hit some sort of wall.
I have no time for walls; I have far to much to do.
Non-subscribers waiting to get Sirenia Digest 198 from the Big Cartel shop, so you can read Part Two of Living a Boy's Adventure Tale, I have not forgotten you. It's up.
There's been some very good and very bad television. If you haven't seen it, you must see Christopher Storer's The Bear (one season, eight episodes), starring Jeremy Allen White. I have loved White a long time, since I first encountered him on Shameless many years ago. He has a quality you see too rarely in actors these days. The Bear is absolutely tight, never missing a beat, never sounding a wrong note. On the other hand, I watched three episodes of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Stories, and it's just more insipid campy trash from the man who has become the master of insipid campy trash. Skip it. (Then again, no one should have to be told to skip something by Ryan Murphy).
Oh, and that thing I said about Inception being my Citizen Kane of science-fiction films, that was a minor brain fart of some sort, since my personal Citizen Kane of science-fiction films is definitely Blade Runner. Still, Inception is at the very top.
Today I finished Ken Burns' documentary on WWI.
I have not given up on The Death of Bunny Munro. It's not that it gets easier, it's just that I'm tenacious.
Good RP tonight. It went on for almost five hours, which is far more than I've done in a single sitting for months.
I think that's all for now...
Later Tater Beans,
