It never amazes me how surprised some customers get when they realize that I work for a business that is trying to make money. I know, I know. It's extremely rare in a capitalist society, but my store has always leaned toward the Bohemian side of things. I was working in romance the other day (I now shelve romance, scifi/fantasy and the new age ( Read more... )

I finished Dragon Age 2 today. I loved the final battles, but I think I hated the final narration. As usual with Bioware games, it's going to take me a few days to absorb everything and decide if I really liked it or not.

I sent a couple text messages to Wolf yesterday:

I flew on an archaeopteryx. Also, God kicked Satan's ass and I armed two presidents with swords.

Then:

I just killed a hippie. With a flail.I picked up Scribblenauts yesterday. It's incredibly fun and I've spent more time trying to figure out what words conjure something than actually play the ( Read more... )

Or maybe that should be Wii! My mother bought a copy of Wii Fit last week. I don't know about other places, but here you have to take a special feat to find one. No, seriously. I looked it up in the RLHB 1.0:

There is one good thing to come out of the Watchmen movie. At least people are reading the book. JM's husband is a big comic reader and she was asking about the book (which I haven't figured out a short, concise explanation yet; it's either "a deconstruction of masked crime fighters" or a long, rambling explanation). When she went to put it on ( Read more... )

I'm surprised at Master Chief Chef. Shouldn't it be Imagine In the Kitchen to go with the theme? And what about Animal Doctor? What, is veterinarian too difficult? What about Imagine College ( Read more... )

Wheeeee! I played my first D&D 4.0 game last night. I went with a half-elf paladin and used a halberd (squee!), which worked out a lot better than you might think. I'm still getting used to the new rules. Spells and skills have been revamped, which I'm still not quite used too ( Read more... )

Ugh. I wish the weather would stop imitating Florida. It's hot and humid. This past week was above 90 every day and I didn't even want to look at the humidity, but it felt around seventy or eighty percent. My metabolism's going insane, but I have no apetite in high humidity, so I was dizzy all day and had shaking hands. Of course, I had to ( Read more... )

Quick update before I'm gone for the weekend. It's Trout Opening and I decided to go north to the family cabin and fish for the first time in years. Please, no laughing when I come back with holes from the hooks in my hands. This means that I have to miss a D&D game, but it's the Red Hand campaign or some such. I was playing a monk since there ( Read more... )

I picked up twenty hours this week, but it's in the Local History room and not Circulation. S is in New York for the week and she didn't want to leave the room closed all week, so I have hours! J in Reference wants to start training me as soon as the director okays it and I hope he does. Anyway, working in Local History is pretty easy. S has me ( Read more... )
