Gonna be a long winter
It's 7:30 and dark out and my brain thinks it's bedtime. Sad, no?
So...went to the book festival, and again I just have to say how much I love my town. Gotta love a town that shuts down main street to celebrate books. Several people were there shilling their books they obviously self-published, which I thought was interesting. Briefly pondered about doing that myself next year. I don't know, though. The self-publishing things seems like cheating to me. Although, with the internet and all, it's really kind of a different market any more.
I did buy a few books. Ready to laugh at me? I bought 3 Xena novelizations. Until now I've only read Xena fan-fiction so I'm sure I'll go through the entire book wondering when the Gabby/Xena slash is going to kick in. Well, hopefully they left the sub-text in.
Got my hair cut, and then we went to The Pop Shop for lunch. My new favorite place, as you can tell. One of the waitresses waved at me because she recognized me. Sort of embarrassing. I'm happy to report all the service problems seem to be solved, and the food is as yummy as ever.
The other thing I love about my town is the fact that you could toss a stone in any direction and hit a same sex couple. We were at this park and this male couple were there with their adorable little girls. I kept thinking I wish I could force people like George Bush to see this - 'Look, a loving, committed couple spending time with their children. Not exactly ripping at the fabric of our society, is it?'
I almost forgot! the very last booth at the festival was offering free 'stress tests' but when I got closer I noticed they also has Dianetics! Scientoligists in my town! I was slightly tempted to go hear what they had to say, just so I could mock them later, but only slightly.
Well, that's the boring details of my Saturday. I hope everyone had a good day.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
