Anyway...so, after all that, Helene swerved east and hit the Carolinas, which is why Chris and Kat were without power today. We got almost not rain or wind here in Birmingham. No flooding. No loss or power or internet. Obviously, much of the Southeast was no so fortunate. I worried all day about acquiantances in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas ( Read more... )

A sunny, warm day. The high was 81F. Welcome back, Spring.

I kept my office window open most of the day.

Today, Spooky and I proofed "Terra Mater (Dissolve)," and then I put together Sirenia Digest 217. When Gordon was done with the PDF, Kathryn sent it out to susbcribers. Oh, and some good news from my agent. So, really not a bad day ( Read more... )

Ain't that the fucking truth of it.

Cooler today, after the storms. The sun came back in the afternoon, and we reached 62˚F.

Brutal weather last night, and the wind took out the tree outside Kathryn's room. The tree sort of made the room. So, it's been somber around here today.

The afternoon's film was Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010 ( Read more... )

A black mood that has been simmering for days, then bloomed last night - this morning I awoke with it in gull venomous flower. Oh, and I woke an hour late, and between the two, I proceeded to get NOTHING done today. Not a single thing ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today and no rain (!). We made it to 86˚F, with the heat index at 88˚F.

I hardly slept last night and was ill for the first half of the day. And yet it was a much better day than yesterday.

Tonight, Kathryn and I saw Andrew Patterson's The Vast of Night, streaming on Amazon Prime. It is an absolutely brilliant SF film set in 1950s ( Read more... )
