Hot today.

Also?

Hot.

There are melted cats(tm) in various strategic places throughout the house. Fans have been deployed.

There's not a breath of air moving in the leaves outside my office. Gonna be a long night, she suspects.

Steve has hit Raleigh. Fortunately, Raleigh did not hit back. I understand that his plans for the evening include attending the Baen Publishing Empire's somewhat delayed Office Warming Party. And tomorrow! The con begins!


Progress on Ghost Ship:

57479 / 100000
(57.48%)



Progress on Carousel Tides galleys (in pages read):

100 / 306
(32.68%)

Busy is good. Being, myself, not so busy, just re-read "Crystal Soldier", "Crystal Dragon", and then "Fellow Travelers", and (re-?)discovered just how much Priscilla learned in her early years about the Passage and what lead up to it. I'd forgotten she had access to so much explicit knowledge of the underlying foundations of everything leading up to Liad's new universe, from perspective of the Moonhawk/Lute pair.

Masterful storytelling, with many twisty threads and details...such wonderful characters (and such interesting situations)!

Don't think I've said this enough: Thank you both!

Guess you saw this -- http://icanhascheezburger.com/2010/08/02/funny-pictures-melting-may-occur/

Sorry, a little trouble sympathizing with your heat exhaustion, though of course it's all in what you're used to. My computer tells me that Waterville was 88° today, which I would have appreciated, since it was 105° here. Of course, we felt hard-done-by with two near-record nights in January of 9°F, which I guess you pretty much would laugh at.

I look back at the snow pictures as longingly as I knew I would at the time, back when I was ready for it to warm up. http://naturalist-amm.blogspot.com/2010/02/fourth-snow.html
Why can't April and October last about 120 days each?

Hot You Say?

I tried to leave a comment but the live journal people must have decided it was to dull and refused to post it. Suffice it to say that it's much hotter here in S. UT than in Maine. And try 110 degrees in neighboring St. George where you have to go if you want to buy anything substantial. Dogs inside most of the day.

Pages going up. Good!
Let's see if this posts.

Yay success

Gus particularly hattes the heat by the way.

Saltation Thank You!

Just wanted to let you know that my dead-tree copy of Saltation arrived safely, though in slightly battered packaging, in cold & windy Sydney, thank you so much!

R U feeling schizophrenic?

I am impressed by simultaneous progress on galleys and Ghost Ship. I would have thought you would have to kick the one out of your brain in order to do the other.

Go Rolanni!

That's a lot of progress...

Here in Maryland, our problem is not enough thunderstorms to lower
the temps. We had a biggie go through last night but they usually
dump an inch in one zip code and disappear - at least this summer.
And they seem to be hitting once a week, leaving long
hazy-hot-humid stretches. Ick. Though I gotta say, it must be bad
if Maine is hit this hard.

I hope Hex has resigned himself to life without Steve for now.
You rock
