A grey, drizzly day that turned into rain in the evening. Feels like home. Coops and Joy hate it, obviously. Fair weather pups as they are. I enjoy it. For a time. Went on way too long earlier this year. We didn’t have a spring because it rained for so long, and...

Ooof. Long day. Worked until almost 10pm, a half hour ago. But…got my project into a good place. Whew. AND I have some help this week to get this stuff finished. Whew. That’s it. Just work. Night night.

So…yeah. Rome is pretty freaking good. Sigh. It’s just good, solid storytelling, that’s why: the wins, the losses, the secrets, the danger, excitement, and generally not knowing what’s actually going to happen to the characters, so you’re genuinely on the edge of your...

The HBO Rome series is good. I’m enjoying it. I will say this…even though that’s true, man—my takeaway whenever I watch a show like that, even Game of Thrones, is…thank god I don’t live in that world. It’s a fucking stress case. People dying left and right. Oppression...

On day 3,700, twas a late day. A long day. But…a good day. Friday, after all! And Ira is sleeping iiinnn tomorrow. I actually have work to do tomorrow. Stuff I wasn’t quite able to finish today. So, that’s a bummer. But, not the end of the world. I’d rather put in the...

Sigh. This work project continues. I was really hoping to have the last of the really problematic titles done today, but I’m still missing stuff. Stuff I won’t get until tomorrow. We’ll see. I need some plugins, and my company doesn’t have licenses for them. It’s up...

Joy let me brush her tonight. Like, really brush her. And I realized she did because I had my intention right. My energy was in exactly the right place: calm and firm. She didn’t get to say no, but I wasn’t rough with her in any way, or amped up, or stern. Just…firm....

I did it. I actually woke up on time and went out and did my morning writing routine. Aaaaahhhh. It felt so, so good. I’m back. I mean…just in time, basically, to leave town for the holidays, but that’s okay. I’ll take what I have for now and make plans for getting...

K, so I watched the 1977 version of Suspiria tonight. It was…also wild. Very much more in a way of its time, just like the new one is, I suppose. Which is to say, it was much more a slasher film plus. Mostly slasher stuff, but with extras. Extras like a really intense...

So—can confirm: Suspiria does bring an acceptable amount of noise. It’s not perfect. I’d say a good portion of it doesn’t quite work in the end. But enough of it does, particularly for someone who’s fully intending to now go and watch the original version of it…and to...
