After 4 1/2 years, i've finally gotten a library card. Yup. I decided while walking downtown this sunny afternoon that I would do the deed. I was hoping that I'd get to see my friend Ben there, but alas he must have been working at another branch. After handing over my driver's liscence and listening to a very well rehersed (and i'm sure often exercised) speech about how to use, how many books, what to do in case of losing, and late fee charges I ambled around in the video and cd section for a few minutes, and then left empty handed. I hadn't come prepared to actually borrow anything today. But now I can. yay me. :)

Did any fellow figure skating fans out there catch the pairs free skate today. How crazy that last skate by the chinese pair! She was incredible, getting up after that fall and then actually skating a great performance to win the silver. Talk about impressive. I'm sure they have the story here.

I'll be down there tomorrow night if you feel like wandering over and looking for books again.

And you do not understand HOW OFTEN we have to give that damn "new library card" speech. I need to work on mine, though. Sadly, most people don't bother listening, and it's always a shock when they display some kind of cognition about what we're saying...

I am very bothered by the fact that people are spamming blogs now... boooooo-urns to that.
And much love to you, Mara (and, of course, to the library... to make my comment actually relevant!)
