Info Pimp

"Libraries are brothels for the mind. Which means that librarians are the madams, greeting punters, understanding their strange tastes and needs, and pimping their books." Guy Browning (The Guardian column, www.guardian.co.uk 18 October 2003)

fashion bitching and domestic bliss

A long weekend which should've been longer. I did have tomorrow off as well - but have to go in and open up the Library instead, because we're too short staffed.
Still - that hopefully gives me Friday off to get organised for a big night that night.

Saturday saw me hanging out with Miss Z, trying to sort our performance out. I'm not sure if I'm more freaked, or excited, about it? We'll see how it goes.
I've bought a woollen beanie to wear. That means it should be a kinky show eh. *grins* Are you excited, folks?
Despite an sms from Miss R on Saturday night, I didn't hit the town, but instead stayed home with a sore head thinking about the show.

Sunday, I felt the need to dress up - stockings, heels and gloves - so met my sister in town for some window shopping that turned into real shopping.

Sunday evening saw me running late to join Mr L for his opening performance at a 'party that shall remain nameless'. Oh boy, the costumes where amazing - in the most terrible way.
Sadly, for all my fashion bitching on the night, I am dreadfully afraid that karma will bite my bum come Friday night *quivers*.
Still, I had a great dance. The music was excellent - Feisty, Mandy Rollins and Kelly Lynch (who was the only person in the entire place in a decent uniform *swoons*). I haven't danced that much for a while!

Today Mr M and I toottled around a bit - gardening, shopping, and then fixing up a small cupboard we bought at a second hand place for $10. It's gonna look gorgeous. Hung out the front of the house with Butch N and Mr Z and the house doggos; drinking coffee and eating Tim Tams, sanding back the cupboard, and chatting.

On another note, received an 'urgent' sms from someone looking for Mr M.
Mr M finds out that it's not a life-threatening issue, but just folks trying to track down a particular book.
I find out which Libraries are holding it and suggest they go into their local library and request and inter-library loan.
The thing that bugs me is apparently they've been 'looking everywhere' for 'ages' for this book - so why didn't they strike a Librarian earlier that could suggest they get an ILL?
Could've saved them a bit of heartache.
I wonder if an ILL wasn't suggested by the Library staff they did ask.
Or if they have only been using online catalogues and not speaking to a real live Librarian at all?
Troublesome.

Hurrah for a quiet and meandering weekend.
I'm oh-so-curious about your show!

There shall be pretty plastic disney goodness.
There shall be violating of the inviolable.
There shall be blood.
There shall be the power of the siren retained in all is realness.
Expect a full report after. It may morph many times before the event, so the above is the closest I can get to a description at present.
