Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.
Can they go to Walmart or somewhere and get a tire, beth? You aren't supposed to drive more than 50 miles on a donut, I think.
I have no idea how many books I have. I'll find out when I'm done cataloging (no matter how I spell that, it looks wrong). It seems like a lot, but that's partially because I just don't have enough shelves.
OMG!!!
JILLI, where are you!? Have you seen this!? So tailor-made for you...and for lots of other tasty Bitches. DAY-um, I had some $$$ -- I'd be all over the Ex Libris stuff.
Oh, linky: Modern Alchemy collection
Oh, Plei, and other SPN sluuuts: there also something called "Tincture of Winchester" in this line. Hee.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BUFFY!!!
P.S. Getting insomnia on the night we "spring forward" and lose an hour is just wrong.
It's raining here, and it smells so fresh and spring-like. I love it.
Of course, I won't love it so much when I have to walk to the bus in 45 minutes, but for now I do.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BUFFY!
GC, if you're around, there's a quote by Roy Tennant about how librarians are the only people who like to search, everyone else likes to find -- he's part of the California Digital Library at Berkeley and is always good for pithy quotes. You might check out the UC bibliographic task force report that they put out and have been working with since Dec 2005. It deals a lot with what users want, and how librarians could give them that without sacrificing our committment to cataloging (if you read between the lines, too). I've got to run right now, but I'll check back later, or email me if you can't find it.
Cash, I'm so glad you got your medicine!
Hope everyone sprung ahead without too much hassle!
Wow. I know some people misunderstand DST, but this article [link] makes my brain ache.
DST increases the amount of daytime hours, making the summer days longer than the winter days.
I'm tempted to wrote to the writer or her editor, "Um, no. No it doesn't. That happens as part of the orbit of the Earth and its tilted axis. DST essentially shifts the clock to compensate for the increased hours, moving an hour of the morning to the evening to let us use it more efficiently."
But I bet after two days he/she's been told that a few times.
Cashmere, how are you feeling this morning?

Heh. So DST is also responsible for the increased angle of the Sun in Summer? So I guess DST
causes
Summer.
I think we've found the solution to global warming.
Cashmere, how are you feeling this morning
Better, thank you! The rash continues to be annoying (no getting around that) but I'm less achy and itchy. I composed a letter to my doctor last night, which I may send tomorrow. I'm really hoping the rash doesn't last long. It will suck to travel with it.
Why do I love the Spring Forward so much but hate the Fall Back?
We went to a party for TCG's step-grandmother last night, and I really wish I had brought my camera. I want a picture of TCG with a two year old blonde girl on one side of him and a three year old blonde girl on the other side of him, each giving him orders about exactly how he should draw a picture that they put in front of him. It was the cutest thing ever.
