Today's high was 93.9F, with a heat index of 98F.

Today was so much like yesterday, though I did at least read back over all that there is of The Sun Always Shines On TV, as well as a portion of Living a Boy's Asventure Tale. I did get that done ( Read more... )

That really should be my life's motto. Were I the sort of person who has mottos. I think, a decade or so back, I decided my motto was "It is what it is." That was my failed short at defeatism ( Read more... )

Sunny today. Our high was 81F.

This morning, despite having finally gotten a decent night's sleep, and oversleeping, I did 1,032 words on The Night Watchers

I suspect this entry will be a thin as yesterday's.

This afternoon, I watched a documentary on the death of Hitler and another on the sinking of the Bismark and the TirpitzLast night, we saw ( Read more... )

Rain, rain, rain, rain. Another day of rain, and then we should see the sun again. It's been raining since sometime on the 19th. Currently, it's 58˚F.

I did 576 words today on The Tindalos Asset, which, at least, is better than nothing.

Last night, we saw Julius Avery's Overlord (2018), which really was a lot of fun. A great, joyous, gory, fun ( Read more... )

You can talk about the Vernal Equinox and say this is the first day of spring, and maybe it is - somewhere that isn't Providence. Our temperatures are a little warmer today, currently 45˚F, with the windchill at 37˚F. Not a sprig or green or a flower in sight. And brutal cold returning next week, with lows in the teens ( Read more... )

Sunny again today. I spent the night worrying about Florida. This morning, I breathed a sigh of relief for much of the state, but remain deeply concerned about the northern part of the state, as well as coastal Georgia and South Carolina. And I am very, very worried about the possible effect Matthew could have on the election. Currently, it's 67˚F ( Read more... )

I'm trying - again - to cut off, get off, ditch the Seroquel, because it's turning my brain to mush. I slept maybe five fitful hours last night, and yet I feel more awake than if I'd slept seven on the Seroquel ( Read more... )

After the true misery of post-insomnia bleariness that was yesterday, last night I managed the impossible - I slept about eight and a half hours. Which means I'm very, very impossibly fucking behind today, but...at least I'm not exhausted, and at least there's a better chance that I'll be functional in the days to come. This meat sack can take only ( Read more... )

First, here's a preview of Dark Horse Presents #9, which will include pages 1-8 of Alabaster #1. DHP #9 will be in stores on February 22nd. So, yes, Alabaster is coming! And Mike Mignola! Imagine that - me, in a comic with Hell Boy's dad!

Yesterday there was no writing, no real writing. And yet there was a great deal of work. I finished the ( Read more... )

Just as the last of the snow was melting, it snowed again last night. Not much here in Providence, but more up north.

Yesterday, I wrote another 1,068 words on the last chapter of The Drowning Girl: A Memoir. I think I'm terrified. The book is a house of cards, and I'm stacking more on top, and pulling cards out from the bottom, and somehow I have ( Read more... )
