Diaryland: So, What Now...?

This business with Diaryland continues to piss me off. Okay, so sites providing "free" services have to pay for their overheads, such as servers, domain names, all that stuff... I don't dispute that for a second, but fuck you if you're going to slap a big banner over part of my content and navigation. And fuck you if you do nothing to publicise what you're planning to do - or at least that's how it seems to me.

Am I being selfish in "expecting something for nothing"? Hey, there was a high probability that I was about to start paying for Diaryland's premium service, but this came at the worst possible time, just after the exams debacle, when I was wanting to try and get back to normal, and perhaps have stuff to post both before and during Christmas and New Year...

*imagine someone doing that "eyes tight shut, massaging the bridge of their nose" thing...*

I've had the last few days off, but I've not managed to get much creative work done. Yes, I have a self-imposed distraction or two, but right now, I'm picking up some pre-Christmas "slack" for others - and when I do get to sit down, it's usually too late for the thought processes to get up to speed before I start falling asleep. Tomorrow may give me something of a chance - especially now that the VIP seats for The Hobbit are sold out for Saturday.

Oh, for FUCK's sake. Why are there no weekend afternoon showings????
