Hooray for finally done and hopefully sleeping Nilly!
Congrats to Kristin on the new job and move. Congrats to Sue. I was wondering what MLIS was, too, but now I'm gonna go with Master's in Library Science. Am I right, huh?
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I feel I should be walking taller or something.
It's the new mistressy boots as does that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congratulations, Sue!
Woo-hoo, Kristin's new job sounds spiffy and Burbank, yay, and Israel!
And a big sigh of relief that Nilly gets to sleep. Is sleeping now, I hope.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am the anti-Nilly. Despite getting a full night's sleep, I still am tired as hell.
Is it OK if I crawl under my desk and take a nap?

Sue, do they hand out the labryses at the ceremony or is there some secret meeting afterwards?

Here is something new I learned today: The nation's largest area of sand dunes is in Colorado: [link]
I want to go. It'd be fun to walk through the sand dunes. Then I'd lie down on a dune and take a nap.
In case it isn't obvious, the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet....

The World's Most Dangerous Books Revealed!
At conservative weekly Human Events Online, scholars and public-policy leaders have labored bravely to come up with a list of the most harmful books of the 19th and 20th centuries.
...
So what is on the list? Sure: no-brainers like Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto made the grade (with our experts, interestingly, rating Marx and Engels almost twice as evil as Adolf Hitler).
What else?
Duh! The Kinsey Report, of course! Only two places below Mein Kampf! Also, that bloodthirsty villain Betty Friedan's seminal text, The Feminine Mystique. And, somewhat more obscurely, The Course of Positive Philosophy, Auguste Comte's treatise on rationalism and agnosticism, in which he essentially argues that science trumps religion. Very explosive stuff, that.
Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed, and Charles Darwin's Descent of Man, while not in the Top Ten, are also considered extremely wicked and harmful. You've been warned, people! If I've seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times: it begins with reading about spontaneously combusting Corvairs and evolutionary science, and it ends with the Prince of Darkness instructing you to wipe out your entire family with grampa's shotgun.
