There's a guy who works here named Marvin, and I have to sort his papers out of everyone else's papers that I handle. I just figured out today that that is why I keep getting earwormed with "What's Going On".
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not so's you notice. Not paranoid, either.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I think this is the dress we're wearing for my best friends wedding. Not in black though, in chocolatey brown.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I forgot to give my good news! I got a 93% on my first exam of the semester. Wooo and Hooo!
Congratulations vw!

This is why I like to vent because otherwise all my crap will just be bottled up inside and drive me nuts
Apparently my porn name is Mickey Benjamin.

I don't usually like strapless styles, but that's a nice dress, Aimee. Very simple and elegant.

I love strapless, but usually don't wear them with the largeness that is my bustline. Hopefully, I will lose enough weight that I can wear it by October.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Empress, that's gorgeous.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
First World Problem: The Seattle library has been upgrading its online catalog system and everything related to it. This involved taking the whole catlog offline for what was supposed to be two days two weeks ago but turned into three, but that's no big deal. They publicized it extensively, and it's not like I was stunned it took them 24 hours longer to get it back online than scheduled.
But Interlibrary Loan and Purchase Suggestion got taken offline at the beginning of January as part of this process. They're still down, and neither the website nor my local branch librarians can give any indication of when it'll be back up again. Now, I'm very dependent on ILL for research, and I make a lot of purchase suggestions, especially when local author friends have new books coming out. So I'm starting to get downright furious every time I go to the ILL/Purchase Suggestion webpage and it still has that "we had to take it down Jan. 7, we'll let you know when we have an estimate of when it'll be back" message.
And I'm also confused. The library catalog and online circulation system, the thing that was down for 72 hours or so, seems hella complicated. While the ILL/Purchase Suggestion form seems equally simple. You go in, you fill out author/title/ISBN-type info, and hit submit. Presumably it gets emailed to someone in the Central Library who buys or tracks down another library's copy of the book as appropriate. So can anyone more familiar than I am with the inner workings of libraries and/or large, complex data interfaces tell me if there's a good reason this isn't as simple as it seems? Because I have a feeling my calling the library to scream about not being able to request books on turn-of-the-19th-century obstetrics or ask them to buy my friend's debut book that comes out in May would be counterproductive.
