In my old building, people would leave stacks of old books in the laundry room. Excellent way to unload guilt-free, and it made doing the laundry a lot more appealing when you might find some good stuff.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Always Anti-fascist!
The only books I've ever tossed...well, let's just say there was nothing else to be done. I had a moment of silence for them, though.

I had a copy of "Grunts" by Mary Gentle (damned funny and sick sci-fi), which I leant to someone. It disappeared. A couple of years later, I'm in Philadelphia, and in the laundry room of the boarding house I find a copy of "Grunts." It came home to Utah and doesn't get leant out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is mostly the result of culling out books I bought when I was younger and had less taste.
Ah. I really need to do this, myself. As well as culling out duplicate copies and the stack of Crappy Books I Have Acquired Unintentionally.
I need to do this to make room for the ginormous stack of to-be-read books, as well as to make room for my comics. And manga, curse wee Micole!
I'm thinking I'll have a "Free Books!" post on livejournal sometime soon, see how many I can get rid of that way.

Revelation! 666 is not the number of the beast (it's a devilish 616)
They and satanists responded coolly to the new "Revelation". Peter Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan, based in New York, said: "By using 666 we're using something that the Christians fear. Mind you, if they do switch to 616 being the number of the beast then we'll start using that."
Poor satanists....

What happens with books is there are scenes I adore that I want to keep so I can re-read them--I dogear my books, they're my books, they're not rare, so pffth!--but I don't want to keep the whole book. Tearing out the section I like is the grossest vandalism to me, and sometimes I flip through and read other sections. So I keep books I don't intend to re-read for the sake of a few pages.

Art Crawl!!!
My sister in law thinks that Ron and Kelly are going to win it all on TAR. This is based on the promo. I'm not happy.

Some of the most well-read students of Christian theology I've met have called themselves Satanists. I tell them they're just Christian heretics, and they pout and go away in a huff.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So not even the passenger door unlocks on a second keyfob press? If was getting driver door with one press and driver and passenger with two presses, then I might think the electric contacts on the sliding doors just need to be cleaned off.
I have no key fob. Although, now I'm wondering if A) I'm supposed to. and B) How can I find out if I'm supposed to and if I am, how to get them.
