Sunny today. A high of 66F.

This morning I wrote 1,470 words. All goes as planned, I can tell you what I'm working on in tomorrow's entry (I hate secrets).

This afternoon's movie was Ridley Scott's The Martian (2015), which certainly isn't Scott's best film, but it is light years better than the novel ( Read more... )

Sunny today and slightly cooler after a couple of violent storms late yesterday afternoon. we only made it to 71˚F today. But we'll be in the mid eighties by the middle of next week. This is my ideal weather. Low to mid eighties and sunny ( Read more... )

Sunny and warm today. I had another short walk. Fifteen minutes feels like an hour. Anyway, I said it was warmer, didn't I? Our high was 79˚F, and it's currently 65˚F, and my office window is still open ( Read more... )

Still sick. But at least the sun was back in full today, and we made it to 76˚F. Spooky made me go out long enough to get fresh air and walk about the grounds a little (and take a very silly photo, below).

I tried to do the needed revisions to Section 14 of The Tindalos Asset, and I did make a little headway, but not nearly enough. It's one of the ( Read more... )

A warm spring twilight. Currently, it's 77˚F. We exceeded 80˚F today.

I wrote 2,032 words and found a provisional THE END for the still untitled story for Sirenia Digest 158 (and yeah, I know it's seven days late, at this point; blame the Tor noevlla). I'm not really happy with this one, though I've put a mountain of work into it, and Spooky seems ( Read more... )

The line of thunderstorms moved through last night, and today was, as predicted, cold, if mostly sunny. We have a freeze warning tonight, and it is currently 42˚F, with a windchill of 38˚F. But we should make it back up at least to 63˚F tomorrow ( Read more... )

A really grand spring day today, lots of sun. I think we reached the mid 70s˚F. Currently, it's 71˚F ( Read more... )

There's a very loud cricket beneath my office window.

I think that's all I have for an entry tonight.

Later,
CRK

I woke to an ugly scum of snow, but also to the wonderful news that The Shape of Water won Best Picture and Guillermo del Toro won Best Director. And Best Actor to Gary Oldman! Looking at yesterday's Oscar wishlist, I see that I got quite a lot of what I was hoping for, with two wins for Blade Runner 2049 and three for Dunkirk. My only real ( Read more... )

Outside it sort of sunny and 58˚F. There's a nor'easter on the way, and by tomorrow it's going to be scary out there.

Yesterday was mostly a day of fruitless dithering. And still recovering from the long drive back to Providence. But I did manage to finish Lonesome Dove, and it has been added to the list of my favorite novels. A fine and brilliant ( Read more... )
