I adore Oliver Jeffers' work and I have a fairly embarrassing crush on Ben Hatke

Oliver Jeffers is not hard to look at. IJS. Ben Hatke won her over because he knew the origin of her name and what it meant. (https://www.facebook.com/takomaparklibrary/photos/pcb.1041468295884221/1041465932551124/?type=3&theater)

I suspect all these visits have something to do with the fact that Karen is on the Caldecott Committee this year.

I am never, ever going to catch up at work.

Oh my god, Calli, that's so terrible. I'm so sorry.

I was always told that California snails are escargot snails that escaped into the wild like Australian rabbits. And not to eat them because pesticides, but if you do eat them put them in a cornmeal rich environment for a while to somehow purify them, like, they eat the cornmeal and it soaks up the toxins before passing on through? IDK, but MAYBE COFFEE WORKS TOO AND THAT SNAIL KNOWS IT?

Mmm, coffee infused escargot, that sounds like a must to try.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Calli, I'm so sorry. That's really awful for everyone in the circle.

I'm sorry Calli.

I think I'd vote against making a meal of any vermin I run across in my home. At least until my apartment gets a lobster infestation.

Calli, I'm so sorry. That's so horrible.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey, I posted this in Press, but I'll repeat it here:

Remember the traveling nail polish box? (Or, hey, even if you don't: look, it's a traveling nail polish box!)

I wasn't a part of the original traveling nail polish box, so I don't know when it stopped traveling. But amyth was purging her polish collection, and I've started a bit of a nail polish obsession, so she sent them to me. (Woo hoo!)

Is there any interest in reviving the traveling nail polish box? Because amyth sent me A LOT of polishes, and I won't keep them all. So I'd be happy to send them on to someone else (possibly with more from my collection).

If you're interested, email me at my profile addy.

So glad they arrived!

I am agog at how big/heavy the box is! (Also, because I'm me, even though you told me they would be here today, I forgot, so it was a nice surprise!)
