Overcast. A high of 83F.

I wish I could say that today was as productive as yesterday. I managed to finish Ian Nathan's exhaustive account of the making of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth films, Anything You Can Imagine: Peter Jackson and the Making of Middle-earth. But I don't suppose that counts as work ( Read more... )

Fuck, but this is the most infuriating day I've had in...a year, probably.

Oh, and it finally got cold last night. Our high today was 63F.

Fuck autumn.

I was up at five this morning, and at least I managed to get through letters C-D of The Ultraviolet Alphabet. And I took care of a bunch of details with SubPress about Bright Dead Star and the ( Read more... )

Francine became a hurricane and came ashore....I don't know. Late this afternoon? The heavy clouds and the first of the wind have only just reached us; the high today was 82.9F.

The horse runs somewhere out ahead of me.

The afternoon's film was Chad Stahelski's John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017).

Not a good day. Not even close.

Please visit the ( Read more... )

Cloudy today. A high of 88F.

The horse still eludes me.

The afternoon's film was James Cameron's Aliens (1986).

Please visit the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop. My book, and Spooky's getting new, cool tie dye's up constantly.

Later Tater Beans,
Aunt Beast

Sunny today with clouds. Our high was 89F.

And today, fuck it, I finally sorta fell off the writing horse. But hopefully it will be a very short fall. I let my head go to very bad places. And I am not feeling well, to boot.

The afternoon's film was Matt Reeve's The Batman (2022). And I honestly can't recall if I ever mentioned I was reading it, ( Read more... )

Much cooler today. Our high was, I think, 77F. Wow.

Not much sleep. But I was writing by 6 a.m., and I did another 1,256 words on the chapbook/novella. And then I wrote the first draft on the jugals of this new mosasaur taxa for MP2. I spoke with Jun on the actual phone, actual voices. I fiddled around with the Bashi Marl matrix a little. It's ( Read more... )

The monsoon has left us, and the heat and sun are back. Frankly, I was truly sick of the rain and lightning and flooding and thunder and darkness. Bright and sunny today (with a chance of a late afternoon shower that has yet to materialize). Our high was 91F, with a heat index of 101F. Outside, the world is scrubbed clean, and the birds and insects ( Read more... )

Very hot again today. Our high was 96F, with a heat index of 103F ( Read more... )
