Constant, monstrous heavy rain and gales, a lightless day. Whatever plants aren’t being smashed or drowned by the rain are being snapped by the winds. The house is booming from the wind, and it has an icy edge on it today.
OPERATIONS: Just about eight hours sleep. Blearily signing and processing two contracts. Inbox is 105 and it keeps coming. I’m on top of the work stuff but it’s going to be one-line replies until tonight…
READING: almost finished THE TWENTY DAYS OF TURIN (UK) (US+)
LISTENING:
LAST WATCHED: lots and lots of news television, which wrecked my night’s work but I figured there’d be some interesting political analysis after the Trump verdict. I personally enjoy Newsnight a lot more when it’s intelligent and experienced people talking about politics and social affairs, rather than consumer journalism and voxpops.
MISSION CONTROL: I can be contacted via the Cheng Caplan Company. Link in masthead to join my free newsletter. Forthcoming 2024: THE DEPARTMENT OF MIDNIGHT, DESOLATION JONES: THE BIOHZARD EDITION. 2025: THE STORMWATCH COMPENDIUM.
