Hot today. I think maybe we broke a record for this day, here in Birmingham. Our high was 93F, with a 96F heat index.

This morning I heard, via Audible.com, the dramatized version of William Gibson's unproduced Alien III script, featuring Lance Henrickson and Michael Biehn. I'd read it previously, a long time ago. I've never much cared for radio ( Read more... )

Very, very tired right now from a long day at the State Museum at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, so this will be short ( Read more... )

The sun came back today, thank goodness. Our high was 62˚F at the beginning of warm spell that will put us in the 80˚Fs by next weekend. Good-bye February. Hello Spring.

I hardly slept last night.

This morning, I went through back issues of Sirenia Digest, for a number of reasons. Spooky's putting together a Big Cartel shop that will offer CRK ( Read more... )

A good day. I feel like I got a lot done.

And yes, it was rainy and dark, but I still got a lot done. Our high was only 53˚F.

The morning and early afternoon was spent editing and laying out two issues of Sirenia Digest (nos. 186 and 187). Spooky is mailing out 186 as I write this, and 187 will go out next Monday, February 28th. And then there ( Read more... )

Sunny today and warmer. The high was 66˚F.

I spent much of the day planning the next few issues of Sirenia Digest. Here's how it's going to work: Subscribers will be receiving a new issue once a week for the next six weeks (nos. 186-189 and nos. 192-193). And then I'll be all caught up and things will go back to the normal 1/month ( Read more... )

Another sunny day, a little warmer. Our high was 74˚F, and it is currently 73˚F ( Read more... )

Fuck you, October. Once upon a time, I did not hate October. I hated autumn, in general, since I was a kid, but October got a pass, because of Halloween. My enthusiasm for Halloween waned years ago, and now October 1 marks the beginning of autumn on my head calendar, and so I fucking hate it. Add to that the much cooler weather in New England.

Sunny and cold in Providence. The high is currently 46˚F. In Birmingham, it's 69˚F ( Read more... )

When I made the entry last Saturday, after the trip to Cape Cod, I hoped it was the beginning of a return for me to day-to-day blogging, the way things used to be - as they say. And then a week slipped past without a single entry. And with precious little writing of any sort. I've not left the house since we got home Saturday night ( Read more... )

Fuck, I need a vacation. I should be putting photos in this entry, but I'm not, and I think that I'll blame my need of a vacation for my not bothering to do it. There's some talk that we may take the bus down to Manhattan for a couple of nights. That might be mildly vacation like, if we do ( Read more... )
