Cold as fuck here in Providence, and across most of the Eastern Seaboard. Here the temperature's currently 39˚F, but it feels like it's 21˚F. Fortunately, we got the storm windows closed, sealing ourselves in for the winter. It's raining, and we have a wind advisory until 6 p.m., with gusts up to 50 mph. There were apparently snow flurries earlier. One day, I will live somewhere that has so monotonously warm a climate that I will never have cause to mention the temperature. Please.
I fucking hate this shit.
Yesterday, I managed a paltry three pages on Alabaster: The Good, the Bad, and the Bird. But that was better than the two days before, when I got nothing at all written. This series is holding up my work on other, far more important projects. I'm struggling to get issue #2 finished before we leave for D.C. on Thursday. And I have to be out one day, getting ready to go, so that's only four days I have to finish. There are only twelve pages left to write. I only need to do 3.25 pages a day. ONLY. Which should be a breeze, but I know it won't.
Anyway.
Last night, we finished watching American Horror Story: Coven, and it was superb. I loved it pretty much unconditionally. I was lukewarm on Season One, I hated Season Two, and I'm very much enjoying Season Four. So, perhaps after Asylum someone took Ryan Murphy aside and explained that Season Two felt like a monkey flinging shit at the walls just to see what would stick.
Please have a look at the current eBay auctions and at Spooky's Etsy shop. Thank you!
This is the tenth year that we've ignored the time change, opting to remain on Daylight Savings Time, thus hanging onto more afternoon. It works for me.

I live somewhere kind of like that, except when it gets up to 112 Fahrenheit, which is worth mentioning. But there's also always people dressed inappropriately that draw comment from me, too.

I intend to watch that show, it sounds good.
I hope you get caught up with Doctor Who at some point despite your initial dislike for the Twelfth Doctor's first season--I thought of you when I watched last night's episode which used the "Death is not the end" line and I wondered if Steven Moffat's been watching True Detective.
I am currently in the middle of Banshee Chapter. The wit and flow of American Horror Story: Coven was truly my favourite of the completed seasons. Asylum had a moment or two, even with the surreal musical number, but by far is it the least of all four. I can't tear myself away from this season's clown and carny lore.
And you do need to watch a few more episodes to make judgement on Capaldi's performance. He's given the Doctor an edge. You see him trying to be a "good man" but knowing that he will always be an alien. He's seen and experienced too much. "Listen," "Mummy on the Orient Express," and "Flatline" are worth catching up on. I'm reserving judgement on "Dark Water" as it's part one of a two-parter.
That does perfectly describe American Horror Story: Asylum.
