I've finished Cold Kiss and Glass Heart! Oh, hookers and blow. I don't even remember how that got started.
Also, I'm fifty pages into Redshirts and loving it so far.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh, yeah, the day I learned to use the card catalog was a Good Day. As was the day I worked out that the "adult" section was not actually an enforced security area.

I feel sad about the Barnes & Noble closings...I like the one in my neighborhood, even though I haven't been in for months.

I feel sad about the Barnes & Noble closings...
Every bookstore closing is a like a stab to my heart. But I'll be really bummed if the B&N in El Cerrito closes, since that's chiefly where I cool my heels when Emmett's got baseball practice.

I miss card catalogs. For whatever reason it was easier for me to track stuff down paging through one card at a time than calling up a web page with a million options on it. Plus, the visceral feel of handling the drawers and cards was nice.
ITA with this. Granted, this marks me Of An Age... but I love card catalogs. At SF Public Library, they used to have an art installation of those cards.
I have a 4 drawer card catalog wood box at home. I want to use it for something, but can't think of what. To store wine, maybe?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I sincerely hope the B&N on the Plaza in KC doesn't close. I think it probably does a healthy business, though.

Is that the one we went to?
