Dude, bigger problem: I was going through Volume 2 last night, and I noticed that I'd used an inferior notebook. The pages are crisping up and destroying the writing! Volume 1 is fine, a good strong notebook, but I'm reevaluating Vol 3 for archive potential (it's only like 20 pages so far so no biggie to copy) but sort of freaking out about Volume 2. Please advise.
"At the stroke of eleven on a cool April night, a woman named Joey Perrone went overboard from a luxury deck of the cruise liner M V Sun Duchess. Plunging toward the dark Atlantic, Joey was too dumbfounded to panic.
I married an asshole, she thought, knifing headfirst into the waves." --Skinny Dip, Carl Hiaasen
Also not a college: The Live Oak Mighty Fighting Acorns.
Like high school needed an additional reason to suck. Go Acorns.
Also, UCSB's mascot is spelled Gaucho, and only narrowly beats out UC Irvine (Anteaters) and UC Riverside (Highlanders) for weirdness value. Especially that last one. Have you ever been to UC Riverside? Nothing about it screams Highlander! And you'd think it would encourage all the students to hack each others' heads off. There can be only one!
The things is, thrift stores and other associated 3-books-for-a-quarter places keep tossing Texas-themed boddice rippers at me. Not to mention Justin's Bride. You have no idea the amount of self-restraint it takes to be me.
I just have to disagree here. Generally, a librarian can point you towards books that a majority of people would classify as "good", but that's the same majority of people who liked Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, The Da Vinci Code, and John Grisham.
OTOH, librarians are in a unique position to point you in the direction of books you will find "good" if they have enough familiarity with your reading tastes to know what is good for you. Or if they're certain librarians who happen to be monk--

And yet so far none of the Hogfather quotes you've posted are the ones in my quote journal.
Strange, that.
Although there's something to be said for "A Holiday for Murder" by Agatha Christie if you REALLY want to get into the Christmas spirit.
What?
I'll have to dig out that volume.
Yes, the quotes journals now come in volumes. I don't have a problem.
I have a problem remembering which volume they're in, but apart from that I'm doing well.
You have so much reading to do.

Heh.
It was certainly better than Crocodile (2000). Oh my stars that sucked.
I thought the movie was okay and completely gross in a fun kind of way. Thoughts?

Excellent! I knew my listology peeps wouldn't let me down!

*BANG*
It was the haggis, wasn't it?
You realize I can totally help you with those stars, right? Just call me Beatrice...
Baby steps.
