A Case of the Mondays

Who felt like this today?

Fun fun fun until Daddy takes the T-Bird away

I NEED this. I don't have enough Beach Boys in my life. It's not enough to hear "Good Vibrations" every time my phone rings; I must hear "Fun fun fun" while I take care of my teeth and gums. (Semi-unintentional rhyming just then.)

Library Career Romances

Snagged from Amused Library, here's a page devoted to "Library Career Romance" novels of the mid 20th century. See the covers of and read excerpts from books like Miss Library Lady, Girl On the Bookmobile, and The Loveliest Librarian.

The Amused Library posters got some big laughs from The Loveliest Librarian, which describes its heroine as having earned enough to purchase a secondhand Porsche after seven months of working as a university library ASSISTANT.

Kitsy Babcock, Library Assistant, presents a somewhat more realistic view:

"I’ve been thinking about being a librarian. I’ve even been reading up on it. Did you know that there are librarians in these United States who make eighteen thousand dollars a year?"

My personal favorite quote, however, comes from Library Tree:

"Carolyn wondered what to do. She caught the slightly musty smell of the old building and felt a stirring of excitement as her gaze moved round the great room which formed the lending section of the library. Books, she thought, this is what I've always wanted. Surrounded by books all day, working among them, handling them..."

Oh, baby!

More M&M Madness

As you can see, when I was living in Japan I also had a hard candy shell.

This is the best procrastinating I've done in a while, thanks theshortkatie!
