 Another indication that autumn approaches. I wish I lived in AZ. They don't bother with time change nonsense. I hate the adjustment.

I live on a street with a lot of oak trees. We've had a bumper crop of acorn The noise they make bouncing off cars is amazing. And when they happen to bounce off you, they can hurt! Makes walking down to the river an adventure :)

After reading John Scalzi's Kaiju Preservation Society, I wanted to watch some of those early Japanese monster films. So far I've watched Godzilla and Mothra vs Godzilla. They are surprisingly moody and with some amazing soundtracks. Really the only thing I remembered about Mothra was the two singing girls. Also I watched The Lost City with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Daniel Radcliffe. Daniel does demented billionaire quite well.

The less said about the nonsense on Twitter the better. I don't think I'll last there much longer. I'll miss it. I did connect with more authors and booklovers there. I may point them here. 

And in conclusion, if you live in America, PLEASE VOTE TOMORROW if  you haven't already. It's not an exaggeration to say this may be the most crucial election since the Civil Wa.

I remember travelling through the Southwest ages ago, and my friend and I stopped in Arizona. We started watching TV at the hotel, and couldn't figure out why a certain show was on because it was the wrong time. I was about half asleep when I remembered they don't observe DST.

We have a couple of trees that produce acorns at the corner of the library. They recently got heavily pruned because they were dropping so many onto the roof. So not only the noise of the drop, but when the wind blew, you could hear them skittering around.

I never really got into Twitter. Too overwhelming to keep up with, and I realized the "cream" would get reposted elsewhere anyway. It is sad to see it spiral so quickly, but not exactly unexpected. I've been seeing a few writers and actors popping up on Tumblr as at least a backup in case Twitter goes down completely. Tumblr is sort of anti-celebrity in a sense, but there are a few that hang around and interact, such as Neil Gaiman and Wil Wheaton.
