Sunny all day, with a high of 88F.

I forgot to mention that, night before last, we finished our Dexter rewatch (this is assuming I ever mentioned we'd begun it). I was surprised at how uneven the series is, season to season. There are two very good seasons, Four and Five, the Trinity Killer and Lumen. respectively. And the last season isn't bad. ( Read more... )

Lots of clouds today, lots of sun today. A broef thunderstorm not long after I got up at 6 a.m. Our high was 90F.

And only a few hours left before the birthday I have spent most of my life dreading.

A lot of clouds today, overcast now and threathening rain. The high was 87.1F.

The insomnia continues. Maybe four constantly interrupted hours of sleep.

What do I have to say today about my progress on The Sun Always Shines on TV? How about this Ray Bradbury quote: “Writing is supposed to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible ( Read more... )

Rainy all day, miserable weather, but at least we have not had anything like the apocalyptic wind that has been visited upon Houston. Our high was only 73F.

Today I bucked the depression enough to read through what's been written thus far on The Sun Always Shines On TV, and I can at least report I am relieved that it does not suck ( Read more... )

Overcast, rainy, and then the sun began to come out. The high was 75.9F ( Read more... )

And so today it was marvelously sunny, and our high was 86F. That's a fine day.

And I dozed off about 10 p.m. last night and actually managed to sleep until 5 a.m. The best I've done in ages. I got up and struggled with The Sun Always Shines on TV, that hellish thing that happens to me when I write science fiction, because I want it to at least ( Read more... )

A sunny day, and everything is turning green, that softest, palest yellow-green of early spring. Flowers, large and small. But there's a chill in the air, a breeze I'd much prefer were not there. I took a brief walk with Spooky, and the air was a little too chilly for my liking. Currently, it's 65˚F; our high was 67˚F ( Read more... )

Sunny and warmer still today. We reached 82 ( Read more... )

Sun and clouds today. Something for everyone. Thunderstorms late, because it's that time of year, almost regular as clockwork. Our high, before the rain, was 86˚F ( Read more... )

Another day of rain and fog. Currently, it's 47˚F, and the wind advisory we've had in effect all day is still in effect.

Today, I finished Larry McMurtry's Boone's Lick, and Spooky and I watched Wilfred Jackson's "The Old Mill" (1937), followed by Don Hahn 2009 documentary on the "Disney Renaissance," Waking Sleeping BeautyAnd really, that's what ( Read more... )
