I’d apologize for letting you down on content last week, but I’m not sure that any of you give a shit.

And that hurts.*

I’ve got two pages of The Wizard’s Tale ready for scanning tomorrow, and may be able to finish a third before heading to Oakland for nine days. You’ll be

I care. There's only like four people still on LJ. I don't think anyone is reading me either. ;)

Weirdly, I get hits from LJ on my website, but rarely do people comment there or here....

When everyone made the transition to FB, LJ died. I just figured it was because it was an easier medium to share random thought processes (as opposed to really expanding on a tale), the easier photo share, and well - when you're the only one sitting in an empty club, you go where the crowd is.

Now I wonder if people are still reading but not commenting because there's just such a glut of people to comment on. Like the readership is both overwhelmed with the intake and now conditioned for one-liners. In LJ-land, you can actually have separate threads for conversation rather than have to scroll through 147 comments to put in your .02.

That, and FB is all about reactionary table-flipping rage. People are all gunshy now.

Is the gun a water gun? It's okay. You can tell me.

The "gun" in the Fahrenheit 451 is actual an old gas-pump handle, with a fake hose going to the fake kerosene in my backpack.

In the The Live photo, it's plastic. :)

I meant the gun in the "exception to [your] NO GUNS rule" statement, actually. :P Of course, if they're one and the same, well, guess you told me.
