Frustration.
Today I have not eaten anything sugary. Neither have I slapped my ex in the face. I consider both of these non-actions to be triumphs of will.
In other news, why the *hell* is it that I have to live in a town which boasts:
- 23 pizzerias (that I could mention by name - there are others)
- 4 McDonalds
- 1 perpetually-under-reconstruction railway station
- 1 university
- an apparently inexhaustible supply of morons
and yet lacks:
- a single decent bookstore (there are 3 largish ones but only one - the most expensive - has anything *approaching* a decent supply of foreign books let alone fantasy/SF)
- a good outlet for anime/manga (Peter the Comics Man tries but he just hasn't the budget for direct import, and has no anime at all)
- a RPG games store
- a RPG club where people play anything but WoD and the new D&D... oh, and fucking Eon...
- a good art supplies store
- anything, in fact, apart from my immediate family and half a dozen other folks, that would encourage me to stay here past the date of my graduation from the above-mentioned uni.
