Yes, that's what they are. I wasn't paying attention to the fact that you're from the UK -- oops!

Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran -- that was brilliant! Did Todd loan it to you too? :)

It's like a Twinkie, but better. Well, uh . . . not better for you, but better-tasting!

I'm pretty sure Hope Sandoval's in her early 30s now, so assuming Silly Wabbit isn't lying about his age they're actually just right! :D Has everyone seen her website? www.hopesandoval.com

I've got a packet of chocolate Zingers on my desk. I haven't decided whether to eat them yet. I really prefer the vanilla Zingers, but the vending machine didn't have any, dangit.

My TBR pile has been stacking up since January (about 15 books, maybe?), 'cause I just can't seem to get done with Our Mutual Friend! Me and my resolution to read some of "those long-ass Victorian novels". Can't believe I've got Vanity Fair and Can You Forgive Her? sitting on the shelf as well!

Usually, if I like the first ten pages, I'm in for the duration . . . um, well. Except for my occasional bad habit of getting distracted mid-book by a different book and then forgetting to go back to the first book!

o_ô I guess I should have known! Here we say "the family jewels". Okay, I'll stop mussing up Ashlea's thread with gutter talk! :eek:

The Crown Jewels? :p

I have a Rembrandt self-portrait on my desktop right now; I also have John Singer Sargent's "Lady Agnew of Lochnaw" which I put up sometimes. My work computer has a picture of clear blue Pacific waves. Unfortunately I've got a bit jaded to it so it doesn't soothe me like it used to -- might...

Lunch!

Roman Holiday!

"go on a tear"?

Well, there's always law school! ;) I'll bet there's not an English major alive who hasn't heard that a dozen times.

Hello all, I recently bought myself a new Lord of the Rings that I've been coveting for a while, and thought it might be fun to shoot the breeze with other people about their favorite editions, out of the many many available in the wake of the movies. The one I picked up is the rather...

:eek: I didn't know U of H had a first edition of Rasselas! Or maybe I did. It seems like the kind of thing that Dr. Rothman would mention. Was it Rothman you wrote the Rasselas paper for, Ashlea?

Well, to speak for myself, I was being facetious! I think it's just a matter of custom or etiquette; some folks are brought up that there's a proper way to take care of your books .

I'm a corner folder, although in my defense I offer that I only do it on cheap paperbacks. Uh, mostly. :( I used to be much more fastidious, but once I folded my first corner there was no going back. Learn from my shameful example! :D If I don't want to fold a corner, I use an index card or...
