jon_chaissonIt is VERY RAINY here in San Francisco, which means that the SFFD is having a field day on their Twitter feed, reminding people to a) not touch downed wires, b) don't drive on flooded roads, and c) keep an eye out for that overgrown tree in the front of your yard that just may fall onto your roof later today. We'd originally planned to go see something at the De Young Museum this morning but all this rain changed our minds (and the tickets were free so no worries), and lo, a tree on Stow Lake (not all that far from said museum) decided to give up the ghost.
So yeah, we're inside, where we're about to watch the latest version of Dune, I'm doing the laundry, and A is prepping food for tonight and later in the week. Thankfully our roof is not leaky, though we have seen a few windborne bits dropping through our bathroom skylights! We're a little nervous about that giant tree across the street -- you know, the one that's causing some of the overhead wires to shake and has been in desperate need of pruning for a good couple of years now -- and just waiting for it to topple over into the street and crush the car that someone so foolishly parked there.
My only real worry post-storm is how the weather will be at the end of next week, which happens to be Outside Lands. It looks as though things will be fine, but here's to hoping it doesn't end up being a Glastonbury washout instead, yeah?
Other than that, not much new to report...I'm currently doing a Read-What-I-Have-So-Far of Novel Projects A and B and it looks like they're in good condition as far as rough first drafts go. Last night I'd found a single sentence in Chapter 2 of Project B that, if I changed just four words, would tie in PERFECTLY with a few Very Important Plot Points later on, and so literally jumped out of bed to do so before I forgot. I don't do that too often!
Okay, off to watch a VERY long but amazing-looking film! :)
