A violent morning of rain and wind. But the afternoon calmed, and now we have some sun. Still, the high was only 70F.

There simply isn't anything I can think of to write in this entry, and it I did think of something, I doubt it would be worth the trouble.

The afteroon's movie was Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014).

Well, warmer today. We broke freezing for the first time since, I think, Friday. Our high was 55. Clouds in the morning, and some sun later on. There is a terrible week of rain ahead of us, though. The end of the cold will bring 3"-6" of rain this week ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today and hot. Our high was 91F.

But not much to say about this hot day. I had a rough night, and the day was buried under grogginess, aches, and memories. Mostly, I read.

The afternoon's movie was Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014).

Please have a look at the Dreaming Squid thingy. Thank you. And ALSO, and especially, at ( Read more... )

An ugly, chilly, rainy day. Our high was only 56˚F, and much cooler air is finally on the way.

This morning I went with Spooky to Target. It was my first trip to any store of any sort since sometime in June 2020. It was overwhelming and horrible. And, you know, the horrid gaudiness of Big Box Xmas, on top of everything. I was entirely overwhelmed ( Read more... )

Most of the day was cloudy, overcast, and it was much cooler after the violence of last night's storms. Our high was only 85˚F, with a heat index of 90˚F ( Read more... )

I actually wrote the first of this entry about 8 a.m., then decided I rather work on "Night Fishing," the story for Weird Tales, so I set it aside for the evening:

I forgot to go outside yesterday ( Read more... )

Our strangely warm weather continues, as does the generally overcast skies. Despite the warmth, we've hardly seen the sun in days. Today's high was 74˚F. Last night I only finally closed the window in my office, about 10 p.m., because it just felt too absurd ( Read more... )

Sunny today. And hot. Spooky says the heat index went over 100˚F.

I finished Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop today and tomorrow I will begin Jeff VanderMeer's Borne.

Today's film was Intersteller, which remains on my very short list of very good science-fiction films that (mostly) get their science right ( Read more... )

Except for the return of the sun, there really was nothing to salvage this day. It was that bad. It was almost too much. But it will be over in thirty minutes.

The high was 73˚F.

I went with Spooky to the p.o.

We watched the new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, and I'm admitting that I don't know if I'll finish the season. It's been heading ( Read more... )

I spent yesterday reading a novella I've been asked to blurb, asked by an editor, not by the author. At forty-thousand words, it consumed most of the working day. But there was some correspondence attended to, as well.

Today, I begin a science-fiction story I'm calling "Beyond the Laughing Sky," and my thanks to Elizabeth Bear (matociquala) for the boojums ( Read more... )
