Oh, and while I'm in Deep Thoughts mode, here's a query for you librarians.

How do YOU view the self-checkout machines?

Do they open up your time more? Do you regret the lack of personal interaction with the patrons?

I'm asking because I'm torn. I like the personal interaction, but I also am well aware that keeping up with library duties (or any work duties, really) is difficult to accomplish with constant interruptions.

Why are the church bells playing "All Through the Night" at eight in the morning?

The soup is made and stuffed away into the fridge. I must mix the dry ingredients of the cornbread together and then perform the heroic feat of making lemon cranberry muffins that I cannot touch until tomorrow. That will be interesting.

On a non-related note, because I am of an enquiring mind, I made a really ghetto-looking document displaying all the different gems with which Lucifer was adorned according to Ezekiel 28.



I always thought jasper was more a burnt-orange colour. It can be, but apparently its rarest and most precious form is the green shown. Fascinating.

And today's burning question: What is the difference between ENquiring and INquiring?

I iz tired. I've spent a good part of my morning editing down my digital copy of my Messiah record to individual tracks, and today's burning question is this:

Why does it seem there is NO copy of "Messiah" that is complete and unabridged? And I'm talking about really, truly complete and unabridged, including the four choruses after "Lift Up Your Heads" that I have yet to hear, period. I can understand why in a concert performance you abridge it, because the average modern audience isn't into three hours of baroque vocalisations, but on a recording, dude, seriously.

Spot looks so pitiful and sad in his Plastic Collar of Doom. I can't wait for him to be out of it.

I'm on iTunes and I found a Messiah that is complete. My irritation can now subside.

The windchime-like ruckus outside ended up being a team of horses being hitched to some sort of wagon thingy decorated with lights.

Which brings us to the burning question: CAN HORSES SEE IN THE DARK?
