Chris Christie: LOSER.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We're starting to offer chat reference service at our library. This is great. (It was mt idea!) But I keep geting emails from people talking about the chat "cue". The word you are looking for is "queue," people. Also, aren't you LIBRARIANS!?

Does it look like you're floating in the clouds in a magic flying castle?
More like stranded in a Stephen King-esque hellscape in an ugly post-modern glass box with too many nooks and weird hallways for zombies to hide in.
I miss our old building, it was open spaces and marble floors and pseudo-Grecian columns and a cool waterfall in the lobby. This is cheap carpets and drywall and "architecturally interesting" features.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ugh, Connie. I hate modern office buildings. Fucking Bauhaus.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I take it you dislike the guy, Tom?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, I love the Bauhaus esthetic. I have a weird fondness for International Modern, even. Although, as in most areas where taste is involved, what I really like is variety.
My conference call was fruitful, even though Sales did not call in. And I have already recapped it, yay.
This day, IDK, there's a lot of it.

Apparently right angles are passé in modern office buildings, so several offices--all of which have glass walls--are trapezoids, many hallways become narrower or wider without reason, and the windows need to stick out from the walls in angled bays. Bah.
ION, my customer is complaining that his hard drive is just too small at 180 gb. Which, in this day and age, is small, but I remember two floppy disks, one for program and one for data.

Wow, I think that would mess with me real bad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Aaron Sorkin is adapting To Kill a Mockingbird for the stage. My Twitter timeline has already exploded with walk-and-talk jokes.

It's amazing that Harper Lee suddenly changed her mind and allowed her novel to be adapted for the stage, after all these decades of being against it.
