It's beautiful today, the kind of beautiful that makes going to class seem like a crime. Work seems a trifle better, because here I can look out the window, or I can when I'm not on the reference desk.
Re: Sunday night at the Birchmere. I love Richard Shindell, even when some acoustic oddity means the guitar is competing way too much with the vocal. But no one comes off well when the have to follow Dave Carter. Also, I find that converting people to DaveAndTracy works a lot better live than with a recording.
Re: Season One of Angel. What is this "AnGELus" pronunciation? I suppose that, as it's a proper name, it's not the same as the... I'll say 'church thing' for lack of the mental acuity to find a better term. And maybe that's not "ANgelus" like I think it is. But "AnGELus" pains me.
Re: Season Seven of Buffy. Who decides what will rerun when? One lonely new episode is cruel punishment, but when the two reruns that follow it would have been good lead-ups to it (using good in the highly relative sense appropriate to the current season) that's... really low.
Re: Patrons. Why does poor JF get all the nasty ones? And can I install a pit full of piranhas into which to throw the ones with entitlement complexes? Like the little miss who apparently came to the campus thinking the campus bookstore would buy her two bags of miscellaneous books, and then was all huffy that we (not being the Gifts in Kind office, but the SPECIAL COLLECTIONS READING ROOM) wouldn't take them as a donation, and then was very huffy that we wouldn't send a staff member along with her to the proper place.
