First off, birthday wishes to schmanda and flarn_chef! I hope you both have good days tomorrow today.

I'm hoping I'll have a good day tomorrow today: I'm working. And, I get to pick up my paycheck (score! I can seriously consider ordering a half-price Hufflepuff sweater). However, just in the last three days, I've gotten my days and nights horribly, horribly ( Read more... )

I think I've got an allergy to something on the books here. The past couple weeks, whenever I start actually handling a book, my nose starts to get runny, and I sneeze a lot more. Benadryl works like a champ on the sneezing and runny nose, but it also knocks me out. I've spent the last two hours, roughly, trying not to nod off. And I've been ( Read more... )

I just had an odd conversation with a woman who came into the store.

Customer: I need to know about your procedures here. All your books are used?
Me: Yeah, they're used.
Customer: How does a book become used?

So, I've been doing a lot of knitting lately while watching TV on DVD. I've been watching a good deal of "Babylon 5" in the process. In fact, I watched the first... five? six? episodes of season five tonight while working on a sock. I really enjoy the show, and it doesn't really seem to have the following it should. Yes, I know it's been off ( Read more... )

(A lot of talking, not all that many books being bought nor signed, so far as I can see. But I've got eBay stuff to take pictures of later, so that's good. More computer time ( Read more... )

Ahem.

I'm doing a good job right now of avoiding it, but I'm running out of things to do to avoid, so... I post. With something rspaulette showed me last weekend when we were not working ( Read more... )

Okay, so I just had the hardest time not laughing hysterically, which would have been bad, as it's late and my mom's asleep. Wanna see the cause of the hilarity? I know you do.

A few weeks ago, I ordered some yarn to make a bag/purse thing (which reminds me, I still need to sew that up) from KnitPicks. They have nice yarn at even nicer prices. Each month they have a $100 "shopping spree" contest; I entered, 'cause it was there ( Read more... )

No, really, it is ( Read more... )
