Another stunning day ahead here, gang.

I’m heading to town here soon to get the many, many groceries. (Meaning, mostly for the many cats!)

Then more work on the screenplay adaptation with Sandra this afternoon. I finally made some decent progress on the script yesterday, now that the heatwave is over. The producer at HBO isn’t exactly drumming her fingers, waiting to see some pages of the script, but she kind of is…. So I’m glad to have my brain back.

There is a really great development regarding the staged reading of our play in NYC but I cannot post about it yet. But I mean, it is really great. And it only requires that I work myself to death, but, frankly, I don’t care. The trade off will be worth it.

Meanwhile…

You might recall the story about my new front door — it turned out that the door they brought last week, was too small. Lo! and behold, yesterday afternoon, they suddenly showed up with another new door. This one almost fits. It required a huge amount of drilling and sawing. And today, they are returning to finally finish it up. However — “drilling and sawing” created more sawdust in my family room than you can possibly imagine. So I spent about an hour cleaning that up yesterday, after having cleaned the entire house the day before…

I’m guessing more sawdust will bedazzle us this afternoon and more housecleaning will be required, but I’m not going to complain. All this work they’ve been doing around here has cost me nothing and the guys do really, really good work.

All right. So.

Assange.

Of course, Q and Phil have basically told us that Assange has been in deep witness protection for a very long time now. And so the timing of his sudden release is optics. Albeit, really, really cool optics.

Phil has not had a comment on it, yet.

I did like Keyboard Operator’s coverage of it, though. He goes over some of the Assange-related Q-drops, also some apparently related deltas from General Flynn.

In Nick Cave news —

He continues his Solo Tour in Finland tonight, and for 2 more nights after that. All of the shows are SOLD OUT.

Then the first week of July, he has 3 nights in Iceland. Those, too, are all sold out.

If you didn’t get a chance to see his Solo Tour, gang, it was just unbelievably good. Just incredible. So emotional. So moving. Even though I won’t be at any of these upcoming shows, I’m really sorry to see the tour end.

Then, at noon today, The Making of Wild God, part 2:
