Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Spidra, you (and any California resident) can use any library within the UC or Cal State systems, though you may not have borrowing priviledges at the Cal State libraries. UCLA is far by public transport from you, but CSLA, NSM.

Also, you should be able to use LAPL and if you took the gold line you can get right downtown to the Central Library, which has an amazing collection.

I have not really been buying books this year and last because I'm the opposite of Seska, I haven't wanted to re-read stuff and I'm not really reading stuff for my students. It's been nice and a huge savings to use the library. So I don't get to read Mockingjay when it's first out, BFD. I still get to read it.

I love the library system here and the librarians. Almost every week, I have something on reserve to get.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Sorry for the leg pain, Daniel.

So it was YOU! Lay off my leg!

hee.

Mask taking a bit of getting used to.

I slept for about 4 hours more, took off the mask to get up for mother nature, but immediately fell asleep without it for two hours. sigh.

I've been using the library much less since I got my Kindle. Not because the selection is better, but because browsing the library website means I can reserve a book to pick up later and browsing on the Kindle means I can have the book NOW. It's such a terrible waste of money but I can't stop myself!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have been downloading a lot of classics on the kindle for $1 or free. $9.99 for newer books has mostly kept me from downloading them. A couple dollars less and I would probably be downloading a ton of them.

ION: licorice, as any anise related products, is the devil's work. But apparently it really helps to get you to get on your feet in tea with cinnamon (though I held my breath in order to drink that poison).

sj, most of the books I download are between $3 and $7, which is why I find it so hard to resist.

ETA: ah, the anise debate. I luvre it.

There's a debate about anise's evilness and the way it evils people? Huh.

Can I ask for examples?

I hate licorice too, and I don't think I could ever drink that.
