A bit of randomness about Garth Nix, librarians, and weaponry in public places...
ME: I'm reading the sequel to Sabriel, and there are librarians, and they CARRY SWORDS and BEAT DOWN EVIL. WITH MAGIC. AND SWORDS. IN THE LIBRARY. I kind of want to be a librarian now, but only if I get to carry a sword. I'd even settle for a BYOB* librarian job. Not only can librarians be sexy in this degenerate day and age, but they can also be BADASS. I could be the badassedest librarian the world has ever seen!

snowqueenofhoth: XD
ME: Er. If I can convince the NYPL that they should hire me even though I'm not a student and yet can't work full-time. XD
snowqueenofhoth: Good luck with that?
ME: Heh. Yeah. But clearly they are desperate. I mean, their central branch YA section isn't even alphabetized! I could be a badass bat'leth-wielding force for order! Without the, you know, bat'leth, because I'm pretty sure the guards at the door would confiscate it, and that would be sad.
snowqueenofhoth: I... am glad you are so excited.
*BYOB: Bring Your Own Bat'leth
Also there is no more Oriental-flavored Top Ramen in the entire city. I know this, because I have looked. And there is none. Clearly this is the Rubik’s Cubes of Doom’s latest crime against humanity.
Mind you, Top Ramen is probably a crime against humanity. Luckily I havecadragongirl to take me to Chinatown for congee and my favorite broccoli and braised tofu in black mushroom sauce.

Yup. I have a cold. A beautiful spring day, lots of (well, okay, not lots, but) work to do, and I’m lazing around watching anime. This is junior year all over again. Except with a slightly better angle on the computer screen.
Watching Hana Yori Dango (the jdrama version). ALL OF IT. FINAL EPISODE TINY SPOILERS The TOJ contest: not-very-Irish step dancing to, like, techno Irish music? Heheheheheh. OMG I can’t believe Tsukushi just went all Miss Congeniality on them!!!!! AWESOME! :D:D:D:D:D /SPOILERS Damn this catchy theme song!
Reading Kyou Kara Maou manga... AHAHAHA Conrad’s a Red Sox fan!!!!!... (later) Clearly the reason I fail at relationships in Real Life is because I’m completely in love with Conrad. Even if he is a total sandwich, aka the only person in this entire manga who is not TOTALLY INSANE. Still, sometimes a girl craves grilled cheese, you know? But no, I am sure Conrad has a hint of cream cheese pastry filling somewhere along with the tasty baguette exterior. Or maybe Brie.
Okay, now I really want a baguette.
Also watching Rose of Versailles. Oh, Andre.
All this anime is quite obviously getting to me. I have started thinking in Japanese. This is a problem, since I do not actually know Japanese.

A rabbit has just arrived. I have a country-born native’s scorn of city people who buy bunnies for Easter, and considering the children’s penchant for running around screaming I think this is an ill-considered move. Still, it is quite cute. In a rabbitty sort of way. Its name is Honey Bunny, as far as I can tell. Or possibly Hunny Bunny.
In the best tradition I, of course, will be calling it Killer.
