polls to doughnuts

serynPolls are humongous. I will not be putting those in except behind a cut in future. I find myself annoying today. It still tempts me because there are a lot of times when I think it would be nice to know someone hears me even when they have no response. That's generally how I feel about most fanfic, so it goes both ways.
Supposedly Neil Gaiman is dating a musician. My response to that was, "Isn't he married?" I know after he finished the underpinnings to American Gods that his blog got all boring and he was always on about his kids. I know taking your kids to various lessons becomes the "mom" person's biggest thing in life. When I was spending fully half my day driving my SO around, I got nothing else done that was worth talking about. So I do understand, but even I was cognizant that no one else cared unless something happened. But bloggers are not required to have interesting lives, so I just stopped reading Gaiman's. But it would surprise me that a guy whose life was that mommish wasn't married. Obviously it's been years, so that status could have changed. But my first reaction...
Speaking of boring stuff... I finished most of my chores for the week. Too bad it's already Friday or I'd feel accomplished.
I should go cook breakfast.

Like I said, I've had that kind of boring life and recognized that other people were not interested, but if I'd wanted to talk about it that would have been okay since it's my space and I'm not forcing anyone to read. So when Gaiman's blog got boring, I stopped reading.
The point I was trying to make is that he sounded married the whole time I was reading about his life. So I found the news that he was dating to be rather shocking.
It has been years and years since I read his blog. I was even aware that he could have gotten divorced and remarried several times since I might have been looking. But I'm just not the kind of person who hears about someone's married life and assumes they would have been divorced since I heard from them last.
I'm not inordinately fond of Gaiman's writing. It's usually too dark for me or I suspect it's supposed to be funny but I'm not getting it. So his books usually underwhelm me.
