I just spent all morning (as well as the better part of the last couple weeks) trying to psych myself up to call and get the ball rolling. I got surly incompetant admninstrative staff and voicemail. I can't leave my work number or leave my cell on to take his return call... so it will be playing phone tag. And, well, just damn. Damnation and RUMBALLS!
Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
good or bad I will exclaim, "RUMBALLS!")
BWAH! Love.

RUMBALLS! This is kind of awesome... from one of our rare MS catalogers.
Just thought I'd share today's discovery. In a late 13th century manuscript that Silvia is working on she found the following colophon at the end.
"Expliciunt decretales per manus Gerdrudis que solebat ludere cum nudis."
Essentially:
"Here end the Decretals (written) by the hands of Gertrude, who was accustomed to playing with nude people."
(Gertrude spells her name with a "d" instead of a "t" -- in case you thought that was a transcription error.)
Interestingly this scribe is a she, which is not too common...not to mention that she felt it important to mention that she used to spend her time with the disrobed!
"Here end the Decretals (written) by the hands of Gertrude, who was accustomed to playing with nude people."
I love this so much. New tag line.
An early case of a snarky tagline.
She came out to tell me about it first, and ended with, "God, I love the 13th century!"
I miss library work. But tech support is a worthy calling, too. I guess.
Go Gertrude!
Just in case anyone was wondering, artichoke garlic hummus is the bomb-digetty.

I don't believe you. Please send me some so that I can verify these outrageous claims.
