Yeah, so...the internet went out about eleven thirty last night and was out until about noon. That was fun. But look! I'm back! You never even knew I was gone! The weather? Well, after the insanity of yesterday, today was mostly just clouds. And our high today was 63˚F, and now it is 51˚F.

Toady, my grand accomplishment was finishing The Bloody ( Read more... )

Yesterday was an idiotic day. There's no getting around that. In the end, after the internet went out and wouldn't come back on, we gave up and went out to Leeds to spend the night at my mother's. That was our second trip to Leeds yesterday. And then, on top of it all, I couldn't sleep last night. No more than two hours, and now I can hardly sit up ( Read more... )

There was a little sun when I woke, but now it's overcast and only 64˚F. Yesterday, we reached the low eighties, and near dusk there were thunderstorms.

Yesterday, I managed a measly 527 words on Chapter 4 of The Tindalos Asset, but at least it wasn't rewriting. And then I packed dinosaurs. I have an enormous collection of plastic dinosaurs, and ( Read more... )

Overcast and chilly. Currently, it's 63˚F. I do not know how I'll survive this gauntlet of grey, wet, cold days to see the sun again, on the other side of my goddamn birthday. It was after four before I got to sleep. I slept maybe five hours ( Read more... )

Overcast, rainy, only 46˚F, the windchill is 38˚F. We've hardly seen the sun since we returned on May 5th, and we've not had a warm day, after all that early summer in Alabama. The National Weather Service says that the weather will finally turn warm next week, with at least a couple of days forecast in the high eighties Fahrenheit. I hope so. I'd ( Read more... )

Yesterday was, well, if weather were snot, that was yesterday. The snow came wet and heavy on a battering wind, then turned into slush and rain and sleet, and now we have mountains of ice on the ground. The driveway is a glacier. No idea when all this shit will melt. We have more flurries this evening, then another round of snow coming this weekend ( Read more... )

On this day in 2014, I wrote, "Today is the 25th Anniversary of the World Wide Web. Which sort of makes it the 25th birthday for one stage of the apocalypse." This past election, the role that Wikileaks and Russian hackers, Julian Assange and bots, trolls and internet slander and fake news played, proved me dead on the mark. I'd hoped I was only a ( Read more... )
