Eek! Is that Hec's book? I knew the topic was right, and saw the editor was a David, but it was a different last name.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I just got called into the Big Boss' office. It sort of terrifies me every time, but he's always so supportive and helpful when I say, "I've never done that before." He's like Bizzaro Boss.
He is. The students actually liked him, but nothing beat 25 years of baseball paraphernalia. I love that library (even more now).
sarameg, I need some of those sporks. I am ready to hurt an entire department. The last 3 hours have been spent dealing with this crap, and it made me miss the rest of the hockey conversation.
Question for the hivemind: I need a filing cabinet that doesn't look like a filing cabinet to sit in the open next to a small writing desk. What stores do I need to be lookin at?

Always Anti-fascist!
yeah...wrod. But of course, ours has a different vibe.(I say ours because my mother still mentions how awesome the soul mix is every time we play it. "Gee, this must have taken him *hours*!" and how all the tracks are so perfect.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
libkitty, it's not his book, but it is the series he's writing for right now. Corwood is contributing a volume, too, and there may be another Buffista or two whose name(s) I'm blanking on, for which I totally apologize.
I knew the series was chugging along reasonably well, but I had no idea things were good enough to issue a Greatest Hits. That news is made of awesome!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Seriously chugging along: [link]

Hee. I was debating whether or not to post, so I'm glad you did.
One of the more fun lectures I've ever had. Of course, when I got home and was trying to impress Mr. Jane, I forgot some of it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Also made of awesome is this video: [link]

Cool beans. It may be even better to know that the book is not only out, but has made it all the way to a teeny-tiny bookstore in Los Osos (central coast), where I snatched it up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, do you have a book titled 33 1/3 Greatest Hits, volume 1? Do you know about it? I just saw it and thought of you.
Yeah, that's the sampler of the books in the series. I think the first 12 or 20 volumes? Anyway, it's like a chapter from each book. Very cool.
I'm looking forward to being in Volume 2!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's the landlord video, isn't it? (posting from PDA) I made a friend cry with that.
Back to work.
