Just after I made my blog entry yesterday, a thunderstorm arrived, and I swear it has been raining almost continuously ever since. Our high today was only 8.1F, with a heat index of 85F. After the unusually hot, dry June and early July, we're jumped back to April.

Yeah, so...early this morning I finished Carrie. Then I sat down to write my little ( Read more... )

A wintry day in Alabama. There is more than five inches of snow in some areas north of us. So far, nothing here, and we may be spared, but there's a good chance we'll get freezing rain after dark. And the temperatures are plummeting into the teens Fahrenheit. Currently, overcast and a balmly 41F ( Read more... )

Sunny and warm today. Our high was 84˚F ( Read more... )

The sun came back today, thank goodness. Our high was 62˚F at the beginning of warm spell that will put us in the 80˚Fs by next weekend. Good-bye February. Hello Spring.

I hardly slept last night.

This morning, I went through back issues of Sirenia Digest, for a number of reasons. Spooky's putting together a Big Cartel shop that will offer CRK ( Read more... )

Oh, look. ANOTHER shitty, wasted day. And yes, all the evil in the world can be boiled down the wastefulness of one sort or another ( Read more... )

Sunny and coolish today. Our high was 77˚F, and it is currently 76˚F ( Read more... )

I asked for the rain to leave, and today it seems, so far, to have done just that. The sun is shining. Currently, it's 79˚F.

This afternoon's comfort film was Alex Proyas' brilliant Dark City (1998). If you have not ever seen the July 2008 director's cut, you truly have not seen the film. The studio butchered Proyas' film at least as badly as the ( Read more... )

Sunny today, after two cloudy days. The clouds began breaking up yesterday, leaving us with a taste of autumn. And, though I am loathe to say it, after the broil of August - stuck in this stifling house with no AC - it comes as an odd sort of relief. I think August almost burned me down, in more ways than just the heat. Currently, it's 72˚ here in ( Read more... )

I just opened the jewel case that should contain my copy of Nirvana's In Utero, only to discover that it's empty. I don't think I've listened to the album since I left Athens in 1997, so I'm guessing some wasted douchebag stole it at some party or another. That used to happen a lot. Wasted douchebags in your house stealing your shit. So, I'm ( Read more... )

Sunny today, and the temperature's heading towards 47F.

As for yesterday, it was a mad blur of line editing, the sort that makes me scream and curse and wish I'd chosen just about any other career than fiction writing. I shifted to working on The Drowning Girl, and Sonya and Kathryn took over Two Worlds and In Between. I'm not entirely sure who ( Read more... )
