"This whole episode is about Logan's hair."
I have a giant crush on Nana Visitor. I have had this crush for many years, ever since the premiere of Deep Space Nine, when Kira walked into Sisko's office and I went, "Oh my." Recently I've been reminded of this crush by Dark Angel - Nana Visitor plays Renfro, Liedecker's competition for Evil Dictator, and she swaggers and she is cruel and manipulative and sassy and I love her.
I watched the commentary by Michael Weatherly and Jessica Alba on ...And Jesus Brought a Casserole, and it felt like I was listening in on someone's relationship, which was, actually, true when they recorded the commentary. He calls her sweetheart and I just feel like I'm intruding. Despite that, I was amused at how much they both commented on Logan's hair, which does have a bit of its own personality, and I was encouraged by the disappointment and anger in their voices when they both spoke about season two. Jessica Alba says, "I won't even talk about the second season....the first season was the show." And that is just the thing I needed to support my feelings that season two is just another kind of animal, and certainly, a very different story.
My close proximity to several different kinds of readers in the library means that I'm taking out things like supernatural trashy novels that come through the book drop. In my defence, I couldn't past the third chapter, especially because this supernatural trashy novel had a sex scene that featured the phrase, "I moved into position" and it made me shudder like I was reading badfic on ff.net.
Also, since we're confessing, I took out a book today called Obsessing Orlando, which is a YA difficulties-of-being-a-teenager book whose plot revolves around a girl who adores Orlando as only a fangirl can. She calls him Orli in the first few pages and I'm just, I don't know, it's fascinating and disturbing and makes me want to go either write a very existential essay about an actor as a cultural phenomenon or watch LOTR actor commentaries.
Things that are strange in the library world:
- An innocent subject search in my OPAC for 'tomatoes" returns the result, "Tomatoes -- Drama." The item in question is a movie called "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, a musical-type Hitchcock parody where a government agency investigates reports of people being eaten by giant tomatoes.
- The back cover of a paperback copy of The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo encouraged the reader to, "Discover the book that has changed millions of lives!" I read this aloud and several of my co-workers immediately wanted to know what book this could possibly be and why none of us had had our lives changed by it yet. One of them said, deadpan, "I was just going along with my life, but now....this book could change everything!"
- The Trojan Horse is, according to a children's book on the subject, the World's Greatest Adventure. God forbid you read this book and The Alchemist in the same day.
Right now, I'm listening to Lucinda Williams, getting ready for tomorrow, and looking through my notes from Tuesday's classes, which mostly consist of quotes from my reference professor such as this one, about DARPA and how the DOD basically invented the field of Information Services, "Public libraries? Who cares! Let's build things that kill other people. Bombs pay better than books."
