Warmer still today. We may reach 91˚F. Currently, we're at 83˚F. Windows closed, blinds drawn, no lights on that do not have to be. All the box fans running ( Read more... )

Since it took an hour, almost, to find the camera, edit one photo, and upload it, this is going to be very, very short. The Actual Spring Weather continues, though I fear we're going back to Cold Spring next week. It happens. We'll be having spates of Cold Spring in July, just before Green Autumn sets in. But for now, the weather is really very ( Read more... )

Overcast, dark, rainy. Currently, the temperature in Providence is 47˚F, with a "real feel" of 45˚F. And - at least on this side of town - the trees are bare ( Read more... )

Just something short. Yesterday was a right proper conflagration of a day. The heat was miserable. At some point, it was actually hotter Inside than Outside. But today is much, much better. It's only 82F in the house at the moment, and it feels heavenly. I think the worst part of all this is that I'm currently on no less than three medications that ( Read more... )

1. The insomnia continues. Looking back at entries for the last six years, I see just how much a part of my life insomnia has been recently. But this is the worst spate of it I've had to deal with since December 2007, I think. This is the first time since then that it's seemed bad enough to consider seeing a doctor about. I won't, because I can no ( Read more... )

I absolutely fucking adored the film. The Rolling Stone review was utterly wrong-headed. More tomorrow.
