In theory, a book sale at a large library is a very, very joyous occasion.

Except when you come on your lunch hour and the line stretches out the door. And it's a long way from the door to the room with the loot.

Drat.

I really, really, really like animating.

A lot.

If only I didn't have to get out of bed tomorrow morning. Or have the prospect of layouts consuming all my non-board-revision time for the forseeable future. (Board revisions ROCK!)

You know what's really great about animation (hand-drawn, that is): the better your drawing skills get, the easier it is, because you don't have to think about the drawing as much, just concentrate on the movement. Your drawings will just do what you tell them to. And my drawing skills have progressed enough since I last did any animation that I can really notice the difference.

Aww, yeah. That's some good stuff. Almost as good as fiction. Actually – better than some fiction. Depending on the scene and/or the fiction, it could be better than a lot of fiction.

Good heavens, I'm rambling all through my animating time!! I should be doing my secondary action pass!

One trick is, if they offer it at your local system, to get a library membership. Back when I had time to do that stuff, I belonged to the "Friends" of the library, and they got a preview night sale before it opened to the general public. It was still a zoo, but a little less of a zoo than the open sale.

It would be easy to say: Do not got on your lunch break... but hey! It's books! I luv books! I'd spend my entire life in a book store, if I had the chance... I would have to be rich and eccentric to do that...

You'd spend your entire life in a book store and you have Crowley as your icon?

It would be an intense shame if you didn't like animating.

While your ramblings are most interesting and often enlightening, don't deprive yourself of animation time! Go, run like the wind! Like the wind!
