A nice end-of-summer day. Sunny with a high of 84F.

You know what? Crap day. And I am not up to the usual blah, blah, blah, blah.

The afternoon film was Ridley Scott's Prometheus (2012 ( Read more... )

Overcast most of the day in advance of coming storms. Our high was 77F.

Happy 76th Birthday, Iggy Pop.

Basically, I allowed myself to call this a day off; I've earned one. I will go back to work tomorrow. The afternoon's film was Ridley Scott's Prometheus (2012).

There's a very good article at The Atlantic, It’s Okay to Like Good Art by Bad ( Read more... )

Very hot today, and as of about and hour and a half ago, very stormy. Our high was 94˚F, with a heat index of 107˚F ( Read more... )

I was awakened at 5:44 a.m. by a screeching alert from our phones, because we had a flash flood watch. Because the mother of all thunderstorms was having its way with Red Mountain. I'd slept just fine through the window-rattling storm, but that fucking siren. We have got to find a way to turn off those alerts. I'd rather drown ( Read more... )

Chilly and overcast most of the day. A significant drop in temperature. But the sun came out late in the afternoon, and we reached 47˚F. Brrr ( Read more... )

Fuck it all.

Mostly sunny today. Our high was 61˚F.

More work. I still don't feel like talking about any of it.

The afternoon's film was Prometheus (2012). I adore this film, but I also acknowledge it's imperfections. The greatest of these is not, as some people seem to think that scientists in the film do dumb shit. Scientists do insanely dumb ( Read more... )

Some clouds today. The high made it to 73˚F, and it is currently 71˚F.

I wrote 1,464 words on The Night Watchers.

And I did that despite having slept, at best, four hours last night, thanks to my rotten feet. Neuropathy, whee.

The afternoon's comfort film was Ridley Scott's Prometheus (2012), which I love no matter what some may say. It remains ( Read more... )

I actually had a good day today. That doesn't happen very often, genuinely good days.

It started with me somehow sleeping until almost 9 a.m., when I should have been up at 7, and that threw everything off, and I got virtually no work done, and yet...it was still a good day ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today. We made it to 91˚F.

I watched Prometheus (2012), which I had not seen in a while. I'm trying hard to get my head enough into the story place, and out of the hellish news cycle place, and the hellish mess life has become place, that I can fucking write again. Anyway, yes. I still love Prometheus, a far better film than most ( Read more... )

Sunny and much cooler today. The high yesterday was 91˚F. Today it will likely be 62˚F. But it gets so awfully goddamn hot in this house that the change is a relief, at least for the moment. For a couple of days there, we were fighting indoor temperatures in the high eighties Fahrenheit ( Read more... )
