Happiness and Curiosities

Just came back from a celebratory luncheon with Jules for Charming the Moon's release! Yessir! Just got my copies in - hurrah! And it looks good! Happy day! (ETA: And it's on Amazon, too! Start those reviews, please!)

Then I go and read this: JIMMY AKIN.ORG: Future Shock, which gets one thinking (in a good way).

And then I read something (that I won't post here) that got me thinking...about how part of my frustration with a certain current "fad" (for lack of a better euphemism) is the inherent hypocrisy of the thing: what is, that is what is obvious to the party of the second part, is fervently denied by the party of the first part, rendering the party of the second part to look back and wonder about every single encounter previous and concern himself with how the party of the first part perceived it. It's my frustration like Hamlet's of "these things indeed seem."

But I have within me that which passeth show, these but the trappings and suits of woe.

Mood: Generally good but slightly furrow-browed
Music: None, but Nicholas Nickelby's score by Portman in my head
Thought: My latest novella is out. Huh.
