sunshine_shaman: the hilarious Coelasquid from DeviantART now has her own webcomic, Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. It’s one of those terrific webcomics where even without the writing, the art makes me laugh maniacally.*

I have not yet tasted it, because I just brewed it, but this here new oolong tea Mom got me certainly smells suspiciously of old socks. Hmm.

Had a ten-year-old girl come into the Liberry today and confess that she just moved to America from Somewhereistan, and she had never been in a library before. She could not believe it was free. She just kept asking “Do I have to pay for the card?” when I explained how you can check books out or get on the internet. It was strange to find myself explaining the concept from the ground up—most people at least know the general procedure through cultural osmosis. But man, it kinda surprised me how amazing this system really is. I kinda felt like that crazy Progressive Insurance lady by the end. (“Wow! You don’t have to pay?” “I KNOW! INSANE, ISN’T IT?”)

And on the subject of libraries, Librarian Hamster Questions Your Ability To Survive In The Wild. (Note that I do not apply this look to the above girl, as she was quite bright and simply hadn’t learned the system yet. This look applies to an entirely different crowd. You all know those sorts …)
*Also, I read through it while curling the hair of one of my dolls. I think this may have destroyed some spacetime somehow.
