Not my day.

Last night I couldn't fall asleep, so I'm very very tired. The water regulator on my boiler may not be working, so that's fun. I'm not really looking forward waking up at ass o'clock on Friday, being in a car for 4 hours en route to a destination we've never been to, and then speaking to a room full of school children. And my booksigning that was going to take place on Friday was just cancelled/postponed by the storeowner, who apparently had insufficient time to generate publicity. Oh, and let's add that this is the second time I'm trying to post this entry.

So, there's some complaining to balance out the self-promotion. What else is there on LJ, anyway? Well, there's sharing links, so even though I've mentioned it before, Dan's Stick Figure Hamlet is worth a look. And has a convenient LJ feed.

Oh right, and LJ is also for random questions that may or may not be of interest, such as "do people have any strong anti-halloween feelings, and if not, why not?", but such questions are as often as not asked not to garner answers so much as to foment a false sense of online community as an attempt to make up for the lack of sufficient tangible community with which to converse frequently in real life.

And of course, cynicism.

...it's possible that in the future, I should restrict my complaints solely to metaspeak in efw.
