Like eating fresh strawberries in December and sledding in July, listening to the Evita soundtrack when it is not summer feels strangely out of season.
It is amusing, though, to picture Puss in Boots narrating it instead of Floppy Hair Man.
7:14 pm - Librarian Miscellany
General Announcement: Would the person who's hogging A Tale of Two Cities (part 1) PLEASE return it to the library so I can pick it up along with the Part 2 that is currently languishing in the Holds section, which I don't want to pick up immediately in case it comes due before you return Part 1. I realize that you probably want to check out the Part 2 that is waiting for me, so I promise that I will watch both parts and return them as quickly as possible, but I can't do that until you bring back Part 1! Besides, it was due Monday, so you'll be racking up the fines there - $1 a day, you know. It's better for everyone if you just bring it back.
I collected from the other library a copy of The Art of Discworld, a book full of beautiful, glorious drawings and paintings by Paul Kidby, as well as commentary by both him and Mr. Pratchett. To anyone who thinks they can teach themselves to draw by looking at my drawings: CHECK OUT PAUL KIDBY!!! I'm not kidding! On top of just being a great artist, I defer to him in all things visual about Discworld because nine times out of ten, his vision is almost exactly what mine would be if it were about 225x cooler. The only exception is Carrot ... I'm in disagreement with his image of Carrot. But that's it. There is no Death but Kidby's (um... but not in that way). There is no Rincewind but Kidby's. There is no Librarian but Kidby's. Etc etc etc etc. Even if you don't know anything about Discworld, check out his stuff anyway!
The library makes me feel warm and happy.
