Decided there's no way I can destroy a book published in 1880. Even if the bookstore did give it to me for a carved book project, I just can't.
Crap!! That means it will have to go into the pile of books that are too good to get rid of, oh woe is me, for I am ever too short of shelf space.
No, instead I think I'll sink my exacto knife into an outdated PDR I picked up for the gilded edges. I have no real qualms about taking that one away from future generations of bibliophiles.
Will have to keep an eye out for one of those giant legal books so I can do a project with a lot of depth.
Yay, preservation!
Are there any copies of Sarah Palin's bio around you can practice on?
Can you carve a dartboard out of a book?

Somebody has made mock webpages for various instituions associated with A Song of Ice and Fire - spoilery if you haven't read all the books.
Brief discussion tonight with Matilda included literary allusion.
Emmett: You're getting very big.
Matilda: I'm a big girl. I'm very tall. And I'm strong. Feel my muscles.
Me: You do have strong muscles.
Matilda: I'm very strong. I could fight The Trunchbull.
Me: You could. What would you do if you fought the Trunchbull?
Matilda: I'd cut her head off.
JZ: Don't you think it's enough to throw you lunch at her?
Me: No, she's got the right idea.
Matilda: I'd cut her head off.
Ms. Trunchbull is the horrible mean Head of School in the book Matilda.
I'm very strong. I could fight The Trunchbull
