Ahoy, to the Demeter!
Demeter entries have been pretty small so far so I saved up the last few to read them all at once. I also don’t find these logs particularly horny, but maybe that is because I’m not strong enough yet as a fujoshi. I have to level up.
It’s been a hard week and I’ve been working my ass off and next week is gonna suck too! It’s getting late and I’ve had a cider and the cats have had enough of waiting for dinner so I’m going to try to get through the past two entries as fast and as horny as possible, let’s go.
So since my last post we had a bit of flooding here (four people went missing from their waterlogged vehicles and haven’t been found) and, after the fires in June I can’t wait to see what’s next. Luckily, the premier assures us it’s not the time to talk about climate change, so I guess it has nothing to do with that. What a relief!

In the meantime things are getting spicy on the Demeter again.
I meant to write and post this yesterday (July 19th) but it was a long day and I was extremely tired and I didn’t get very far in my reading. I had a job test early in the day and was social all evening, which was tiring as an introvert, but it was good.
After a brief flirtation with sunshine it’s raining in Nova Scotia again. These bonus posts take so goddamn long that I left the intro for last and now I can’t think of anything to write. OH WAIT, I KNOW. A bunch of bugs have appeared in my house and I thought they were roaches, but they aren’t. The pest guy was delighted to inform me of this good news and did nothing for the bugs because he didn’t know what they were.
Dracula Daily resumes soon so here’s the bonus post I promised!
July 8th
Writing this a day late because this entry is so short that it’s just kind of disappointing. But it’s also worth noting that there’s a long break before the next entry, so I’ll try to get another bonus chapter in for you. I believe we’ll be fairly regularly busy from the time we come back to the end of the novel in November after this dry spell.
In Halifax the weather has been nice and hot and I’ve been spending as much time outside as I can, mostly gardening and reading. Also my apartment has a sudden and disturbing roach problem, so I wish Renfield were here to take them away for a project.
In London I imagine the weather is London-like. Dr. Lobotomy has some kind of half-formed idea he’s excited about, but gives us no details. He sees Renfield who has upgraded his flea circus to a pet sparrow, which is a huge improvement from flies and spiders, but he keeps a few of each in a long food chain that he can manage on his own; flies to spider to sparrow. What will come next?
Anyway this is all that’s here and it’s all I have. Stay tuned for a bonus chapter soon to make up for this.
Hello all! It looks like this will be another break after this entry, if I’m not mistaken, so I might as well just write up a post for it.
I also feel the need to note that today is Canada Day! Which I like to call Colonialism Day (#landback). Most of this blog has been written while I occupy the unceded land of the Mi’kmaq people. Luckily this city is centering a lot of indigenous voices for the holiday, and has been for the past few years now. Regardless, under the yoke of capitalism, we deserve to take full advantage of our few government-mandated holidays, especially in the summer. Unfortunately it’s pretty gloomy outside and we probably won’t be seeing the sun until Wednesday, so party vibes are limited.
As for our entry today, we go back to Renfield and Dr. Lobotomy.
