forsythMainly because at least six times today, I thought up things I worked out how to say, and this is the best place to test-bed them. And well, a couple times, I thought "I'm gonna post this to LJ", sadly enough.
But first. Besides my wishing I had something to write to LJ etc earlier with, my day. I read Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom last night and today, it's a very quick read, and quite good. And I'm not sure if it was the book or the lack of sleep, but I kept having thoughts throughout the day of reputation economics and having computers connected straight to your brain to be online all the time. I think I'm going to blame lack of sleep, 'cause it ended up making me feel detached most of the day, sort of. Except to the damn telephone, which kept ringing, and I was the only one who could answer most of the time. Phones bad.
Also, my day. Normally, I've enjoyed Christmas. Except for last year, and this year. This year, I've hardly gotten Christmas-y feeling at all, probably because of working retail, being busy as hell makes you less inclined to worry about other stuff. But I think it's more than that too. And there's also the whole fact that I got dumped right before last Christmas, so loneliness isn't your friend. And of course the whole politics thing, which has just been bugging me constantly. But that I hope to start acting on, so. Here's hoping a new year's actually, y'know, new. Feels like it might be, this year, I dunno why. I also have done hardly any Christmas shopping, because I'm not sure what to get everybody. Besides you guys, you get ranting. Aren't you lucky?
