zingerella: So, library porn.sabotabby: That's really hot. sabotabby mutters some comment about shagging in Robarts.
Robarts Library, a.k.a. Fort Book.
zingerella looks faintly nauseated.sabotabby: I just heard it was a good place to pick up. [Sullenly] I wouldn't know. They never let me on the good floors.zingerella: It's more like the setting for a BDSM porn. It's got cages, shit lighting...sabotabby: Oppressive concrete...zingerella: Can't you just see some dominatrix stalking through the stacks, forcing chinless grad students to read Kant?sabotabby: You realize if I just post the words "Kant" and "porn" in my LJ I'll get about a million comments, don't you?zingerella: There's just something about sex in a building that looks like a giant turkey. [Pause.] And I don't even like porn.[Pause.]
sabotabby: Well, neither do I!

Date: 2006-09-01 03:03 am (UTC)I finally get over fifty comments on a post and you have to go rub my nose in the fact that it's really nothing.
The library porn is gorgeous, by the way. Mind you, I have been objectifying public buildings for years. The metal spiral staircase libraries are especially hot and have been a fixation of mine for quite some time - along with elevator cages, which you know those libraries have as well.
Did you notice my JMPP comment in your last post?
And thanks for finally posting. We missed you and were getting worried.

God, I hadn't even considered elevator cages. I'll be in my bunk.

Shatner is so much cooler than JMPP it isn't even funny.

Huh? Was I gone that long?
To take a total tangent, I read Why I Hate Saturn last night and spent the entire time either nodding my head or giggling hysterically.

I thought you would like Kyle Baker. That's about midway into his solo career where he is still honing his storytelling skills. You Are Here is much better written from a plot standpoint, but it's just as witty (although, alas, it is not about writers). The Cowboy Wally Show is all snark with no plot whatsoever, but I like it.
Terry asked about Reid Flemming: World's Toughest Milkman. Do you have it? Have you read it yet?

That could have been because of my pissy mood, so I'll give it another shot unless Terry wants it back.
How is Terry?

Date: 2006-09-03 08:19 pm (UTC)Not the guy she just broke up with, but the guy she was seeing before.
I haven't had a chance to read the latest installment, but the last one pointed out that she'd have to move to Seattle, where gambling is illegal.
Right: The fellow she just broke up with was Las Vegas-based and the old / new beau lives in Seattle.
Thus she couldn't maintain her usual lifestyle of
mooching off her parentsmaking scads of money while "working" a few hours a week playing Positive Expectation Gambling.What I find so hilarious is that she objects to his workaholism. This internet entrepreneur wants lazy old money
to support herrather than some self-motivated go-getter who's supposedly like herself. I'd say she lost her "WWARD?" bracelet, except that Ayn Rand would obviosly do likewise.I do have Reid Flemming; started reading it, wasn't into it. That could have been because of my pissy mood, so I'll give it another shot unless Terry wants it back.
The pissy mood should actually help. Reid Flemming is the ultimate anti-work comic book. Give it another go.
How is Terry?
He's doing okay. He's doing tattoos out of his home, so I'm giving him my old dentist chair sometime this week. He reads my friends list, so he might see this.
Hey, Terry.

Date: 2006-09-01 05:04 am (UTC)Well, replying is one way to go from a few comments to lots of conversations. Or so I'm told.
Although the most comments I ever got were due to 3 people talking amongst themselves, and one troll. (Not that I pay attention to such trifles.)

Date: 2006-09-01 03:58 am (UTC)The photographs of those librarys were simply astonishing. I used to work in an old library---not nearly as old as any in those pictures, but 100 years old or so, which to me, as a teenager, seemed very old---with huge oak book cases, big wooden tables, an oak front desk, etc., and it felt like a real library to me. When the county system took over, and expanded, it became just another overly-bright, earth-tone painted of every other contemporary library, and I never went back.

Date: 2006-09-01 03:22 pm (UTC)I grew up in a library, actually. It was one of those 60s or 70s, ugly, smelly buildings. It was eventually re-located to one of the overly-bright ones, which was sort of an improvement.

Date: 2006-09-01 07:56 pm (UTC)When the county took over, a great deal more money was available, and it was decided the library needed to be expanded and updated. Of course, that meant gutting the old building, adding two new walls, and entirely new interior. Nothing was left of the library I loved. But, there was much added room for DVDs and computers. Yay!

Date: 2006-09-01 04:21 pm (UTC)That's been one of the big differences between our border officials and the U.S. ones. I feel that the correlation between polite, non-asshattish border officials and rude asshat border guards and officials without guns versus guards with guns is non-coincidental.
The Union line has been that until Canadian border officials have guns, their job is not to apprehend criminals. If C&I officials feel that their lives are in danger, they have been instructed to leave their posts (In a sensible system, they'd call in the RCMP, but I don't know that the system has been sensible.)
Customs and Immigration has never been a policing function. C & I's official job has been to ensure that people crossing the border have their paperwork in order, that they are legally entitled to be in Canada, and that they pay their duties on commercial crap. Arming border officials changes the ideology behind their function from an administrative one to a militaristic one. I am not impressed.
Geez. I have, like, three letters to write to my MP today. She's gonna be so tired of me.
