No prob. I'll hook you up.
I need to go find lunch. Yes, I know what time it is.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Yes, I really did. She was amused...patrons at Chi-chi Borders, really, nsm. Places that act ritzy for no reason make me suggestible to outrageous things.

What is even happening?
Erin, I've considered my books, but I have nothing suitable. When we moved in here, I left stacks of books in the Salvation Army bin. I've got an idea, though.
When we've run certain community events at our church, we've approached local stores for donations. Typically, they give a gift card for $25 or whatever. I have't done the approaching, but from what I remember hearing at meetings, a lot of corporations just have a standard amount they'll give in response to a request. Now for us, this has usually been a grocery deal, so we've approached places like Stop & Shop (chain supermarket), BJ's (local discount club akin to Sam's, Costco, etc.).
You might be able to approach Barnes and Noble, Target, Costco and the like, and end up with gift certificates, with which you can purchase more books. The Target corporation has all sorts of community programs, including a grant program: [link]

Because books.
Awesome drabbles, everybody. I'm hoping to get around to it before the week is up...
In the meantime, hivemind question: Is there current British slang for "girl" or "woman"? I mean, I know lots of other words (the common ones, like loo, and lift, and sorted, etc.) but I'm blanking on this. Any ideas?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Bird? Or is that old?

See, that's what I kept thinking. I knew that (and "bint," thanks to Spike, which is not appropriate in this instance) but it seems dated.

I'm thinking more of a way to refer to a woman, not something you'd call her. As in, "I'm chuffed I met such a brilliant [insert word here]."
