Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just want high-speed internet, a huge library, a hot tub, a pool/ocean, a good bathtub and a giant TV.
Everything but the pool/ocean and the library can all be in the same room. Because TV and libraries are unmixy.
I suppose we need a kitchen and a few dozen toilets.
Everything but the pool/ocean and the library can all be in the same room.
But having a pool and the library in the same room is canon. Do not mess with canon.
I can live with that. But we need shelves for "books you can get wet" and a room for "get these books near water and you will DIE."
Because we will have special editions in the library. RIGHT?!
oh dear god y'all the a/c is now off at work. I had gone to get mac from camp and return to this fresh hell. They have NOTHING for me to do, but will not send me home. STUPID.
Because we will have special editions in the library. RIGHT?!
Anyone who got my facsimile Ellesmere Chaucer damp would not be happy.
No A/C in this heat is insane.
God bless my ED. He asked me to come in late tomorrow. Resetting my alarm clock now. (I was already planning to work late to compensate for my not-quite-half sick day).
I may wind up with a half-time intern from September through December. Minions! Kid isn't yet college-bound, partly interested in hort/outdoor work, looking to get a feel for the industry. Can work during school-time. Rock on!
Timelies all!
Got caught in a downpour(with an umbrella, but that didn't keep my pants from getting drenched). Now wearing a MST3K T-shirt, sweatpants and slippers.
Sometimes I feel like less of a book geek because I don't really care all that much about special/rare editions. If I can't sling it in my purse or if I'm too worried about cracking the spine or getting fingerprints on the cover, a book isn't of much use to me.
There are books for reading, and there are books for ogling. My tour of the vault of the Huntington Library stands out as one of my favorite experiences.
