First things first - WTF Amazon? Do you believe that? Glitch my behind! I don't! But it will be interesting to see whose head rolls when everyone gets back after the holiday.

Speaking of which - squeeeee!

St Louis is a lovely place and [livejournal.com profile] metallumai and family were delightful hosts. It snowed, which was exciting, so we went to the zoo! And the art museum to see Pan. And the City Museum to giggle a lot. But it was the company that was the best thing. Thanks guys. I miss you.

Now I'm in Dallas with [livejournal.com profile] celticangel76 and having another really good time. I feel blessed.

But I'm still fucking pissed off with Amazon, silly bastards. How can they say they are taking 'adult' fiction off the list when doing a best sellers search turns up this in third place.

Interesting that that comes up 3rd when there's no ranking...

How can they say that they're blocking adult content when they were blocking children's books like "Heather has 2 mommies"?

Oh lord yes! I hadn't noticed that.

Total madness as far as business is concerned. If everyone who actually IS gay takes their business elsewhere and are followed by right minded sensible folk with egalitarian tendencies, then Amazon's going belly up in short order.

I'd forgotten that you were visiting the US. I'm glad you're having a great time, you lucky thing you! I hope you're taking lots of photos!

You know I keep forgetting. I don't have a photographers mind. I'm so busy looking that it doesn't occur to me to make a permanent record. Daft *shakes head*

But yeah I'm having a good time, thanks.

Amazon is just... beyond words for that snafu. It just isn't right especially when all writers have to make a living and making the books inaccessible/unfindable does not help them out.

*hugs* hope the rest of the time in the states treats you well and the time zones don't throw you off too much!

*hugs* I'm getting acclimatised. I woke at about 4 this morning so i reckon i'll be on EST when i get to Atlanta and just in time to REALLY suffer when I have to get up to go to work on Monday morning.

I'm having fun picking out all the little differences it would never have occurred to me to ask about.
