Already I miss Daylight Saving's Time. The early darkness. Another sign that winter's not so far away. Here in Birmingham, we had our sixth or seventh grey day in a row.
Yesterday I rewrote another scene in Low Red Moon, for the sake of continuity. It came out better the second time around. Also, I did a little work on "Green Bottle." It doesn't look like a false start after all. Jennifer likes it. I'll see where it goes; at the moment, I have no idea, and that's usually a good sign.
Last night I picked up a copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Flappers and Philosophers," and saw Hayao Miyazaki's Sprited Away, which I liked a great deal. Not as much as I liked Princess Mononoke, but a great deal, nonetheless. However, it's a shame that Disney didn't dump the syrupy, irritating original score, as long as they were dubbing.
No work today. Not a vacation, by any means, just no "real" work. It didn't happen, as it sometimes doesn't. Lots of little irritating things that have to be attended to yesterday, but not writing. Later, I sat in Rhodes Park listening to the rain and the birds for a while, and spent most of the evening on PlayStation. It was that sort of a day. Oh, and i just learned that Richard Harris has died at age 72. He did some films that I adored, most recently, of course, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. There'll have to be a new actor for Professor Dumbledore in the third film now. He was in a number of films I truly love, such as Camelot, Mutiny on the Bounty and The Molly Maguires. News of his death if a sad way to end a dreary day.
