Reader, I found it for him.
Librarians are so cool. Though their libraries should get off their duffs and sign contracts.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The family reunions must be fun.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Salt Lake City man was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly wired an explosive device to his sister's stereo.
Police said the 24-year-old man allegedly stole his sister's stereo system on Saturday. His sister was able to get the stereo back with the help of her parents.
However, detectives said, when the woman plugged her stereo in -- it began to smoke. She unplugged it and removed the back of the stereo to find the improvised explosive.
The hotel where she was staying had to be partially evacuated while bomb experts destroyed the explosive.
The man was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of building a device with the intent to injure and domestic assault.

Ack. I should have run to the bookshelf before spouting. I knew the "I married him" part. Do I get half credit?
Somewhere around here, I have a copy of this book [link].

Of course. It's just that I read Jane Eyre obsessively when I was growing up, and have developed a massive Jane Austen obsession as an adult. And I am pedantic and have a compulsive urge to display my knowledge whenever a chance presents itself.

That makes you my Showoff Sistah.
It's one of my most useful, if not charming...erm...charms.
I like being the go-to-gal, and besides, knowing stuff is FUN.
eta: In some other thread, a discussion of the various Jane Eyre movies intrigued me. I loved the Timothy!toopretty Dalton version, but I have to say, the Ciarin Hinds version has become my favorite. I have a bright, shiny copy of the book on my shelf too. A much loved favorite.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
ION, I am the reference desk queen. A student came up with a question that went, "I had this great article a librarian found me last week and I lost it. I remember it was a weekly publication and the web site was teal... does the call number 320 have anything to do with it?"
Reader, I found it for him.
damn.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Now that's high praise, from one librarian to another.
