Except there's still not much news here. I'll run through it all quickly...

1. There's vacancies for an Advanced Diploma in Library and Information Services course. Yay! Two Wednesdays hence, I shall attempt to apply, and then possibly become a librarian. Or a library superheroine, with superpowers relating to patron fines and Library of Congress classifications. I shall fight injustice by labelling books with arcane codes of letters, leaving the bandits of Dewey Decimal dazed and confused while helping innocent folk to find information and resources they need.

I think this means I'll need to be bitten by a genetically-engineered radioactive mutant book that's taken super-novel serum, has a spine reinforced with obscure metals and was soaked through with gamma rays while it was too close to a space accident that made it build a powered suit to survive.

2. I made an icon! Whee!

3. Still no zero-gravity sex. At this rate, there'll be a hundred search results on Google for the phrase 'zero-gravity sex', each pointing to an explanation in my journal for the sustained non-existence of zero-gravity sex. It's not my fault! Even Gneil can take months to write sex, and his has gravity. Still, the sooner I write zero-gravity sex, the sooner I can stop talking about zero-gravity sex.

4. I might be going to Sydney tomorrow. Three hours down, to keep my mother company on the way to see off a friend of the family who's going to New Zealand. And then, three hours back. If this does, in fact, happen, then there will be an unexplained homicide in the middle of the airport if there's no way to get a pot of tea before coming back.

And that's about it for now.

Good luck with the library program! Libraries are usually nice places to work - and librarians really *do* get (minor) superpowers.

Thanks kindly! I like libraries, I like books, and I'm fond of information - so it's a win all over, far as I can see.

Hey, don't be too hard on the Dewey Decimal system. Those of us who are public librarians (here in the States, anyway) are forced to learn to deal with its vagaries.

Yes, go find your radioactive book, be bitten, and join us on the Dark Side! Aside from dealing with the (at times utterly clueless) public, librarians are a merry and sarcastic lot. *grins*

Ooh! I already have some of the essential skills!

Dewey Decimal is used in public libraries here, too. I just found myself mildly used to dealing with LC by way of doing research in academic libraries, and needed something with which to make a joke. :)

How do you treat book-bites, anyway?

Chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

So Lupin really just wanted a job in the Hogwarts library?

You would be the hottest librarian ever.

Even hotter than Giles.

We don't interlock so easily, but I'm sure it's possible to find a way.

...

It's almost like someone placed a link to a naked Kristen Bell in front of you.

Yeah... almost.

We could test out both and see my reactions?

Quite possibly... though maybe not at the same time.

Oh darn, we'll have to prolong the fun.

Howdy!

*gasp* It's Yoshi!

It is! Chardancing Yoshi makes for a quite useful icon.

you shall be worshipped

Bwah! I'll be able to know anything... which is infinitely more convenient than knowing everything, which just hurts your head. And doesn't help with new things.

OMG library! That sounds fun! And, if you get superpowers, all the better really.

Date: 2006-01-23 03:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] active-apathy.livejournal.com
Indeed! And yes! And superpowers would be fun.

That's okay... although I feel a certain pride at having stumped She Who Is To Be Admired In All Things.

I just got your musing/missinves today, sorry, I was off skiing this weekend. Which involved a lot of gravity.

The actual phrase 'zero-gravity sex' is becoming something of a source of amusement, now. For me, at least.

I hear gravity is a big part of the attraction of skiing.
