"...like living in a goddamn global hippie commune."
A sunny day, and it was warmer. Our high was 75F.
But a very frustrating day. Struggling with the ending of "Terra Mater (Dissolve)," because these days everything seems to come to a struggle. I finally set it aside, saaid enough for one day, and went through an old notebooks, looking at notes for stories that have never been written. One in particular, for which I did an enormous amount of research and basically plotted the whole thing, back in July and August 2016. "Beyond the Laughing Sky," intended for an Ellen Datlow collection. But then I ran out of time and shelved it and never went back. Damn, it would be a good story, if I could ever actually get it written.
Anyway...
The afternoon's film was the director's cut of Zack Snyder's Watchmen (2009). As time goes by, I appreciate this film more and more. The opening montage, history playing out to Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is still amazing.
I'm not sleeping well. I'm spening too much time worrying, stressed out.
Fuck it.
Today I finished reading The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic: The Rise of the Third Reich and began Selwyn Raab's book on the NYC mafia families.
I gotta put this out there again. Please have a look at the GoFundMe and give if you can. Or, if you would prefer, visit the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop. Thank you. Right now, we're just trying to make sure that May's rent will be covered. We're getting close.
