Sunny today, but cold. Our high was 49F.

I think, no foolin', this really is going to be an extremely short post. Just a very nondescript sort of day, trying to keep from dwelling on the obvious. I almost gave myself a heart attack - or a hernia - moving two extraordinarily heavy boxes of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. That was the high ( Read more... )

Very could today. Our high was only 49F, after a nightly low of 28F.

Another productive day, though I've felt like crap since I woke. I was up at 6 a.m., and I did another 1,038 words on The Night Watchers. Then I spent another two hours finishing the interview (venue TBA), which, total, took me four hours over two days and came to 3k+ words. I ( Read more... )

Just something quick I think. A sunny day, but cold. Pur high was only 53F.

I woke at 5:30 a.m. and was up at 6. I did a bunch of words on The Night Watchers that I hope I will still like tomorrow. I worked two hours on the Bashi Marl sample and found the largest shark's tooth to come from it yet (though, by shark tooth standards, it's still on ( Read more... )

Another sunny, warm day. Our high was 84F.

This morning, I wrote 1,432 words on The Night Watchers. But that's all I got done.

And now, continuing my Halloween lists, my seven very favorite H.P. Lovecraft stories:

3. At the Mountains of Madness4. "Dagon ( Read more... )

Hugely relieved that the heatwave has passed. We were in the eighties most of the day. Today's high was only, briefly, 90F, in a gap between thunderstorms. As I write this, it's raining again.

I managed some work this morning, coming to terms with the fact that I have to immediately finish with the "snag" in the paleo' project and the fact that " ( Read more... )

Today was the cover reveal for the new edition of the French translation of The Drowning Girl - La Fille qui se noie - from the book's new French publisher, Albin Michel Imaginaire. The original ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today and hot. Our high was 91F.

But not much to say about this hot day. I had a rough night, and the day was buried under grogginess, aches, and memories. Mostly, I read.

The afternoon's movie was Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014).

Please have a look at the Dreaming Squid thingy. Thank you. And ALSO, and especially, at ( Read more... )
