Scene: Today in the library an intern from Prints & Drawings (the very same from this blog) came in, searching for a book.
Intern: I couldn't find this book, and I really looked for it.
Me: Sometimes they just disappear. Don't worry.
Intern: But I mean, when I say I looked...I do a good job when I look. I look all over the place! (She gestures broadly)
Me: You look good. (I pause and cringe at how that sounds) ...Cause, y'know, for the book. You look good for the book.

I cough, look down and continue checking out her books in shame.

Also today: After months of petty moaning and bitching by my readers, I have officially added 'comments' to my blog. This enables you, the reader, to say whatever you want about my blog. Did you enjoy the blog? Did you hate the blog? Did the blog make you thirsty? Was it a good blog today or a crappy blog today? Well what kind of blog was it?! ...Now *you* can answer all these questions. And you know I'm really looking forward to reading your feedback. My only hope is that with the volume of feedback I'll be receiving I won't have to hire an ombudsman.
