Indulging in Librarian Urges

affrecaInstead of actually working on becoming one. I just finished J. It and I were by far the easiest to get through, at four books each. I've got a backpack full of books to take down to Dusty Bookshelf. I should go do that now, but I really don't want to deal with people. And I'm hungary, so I should eat some of the food I already have in the house instead of going out to eat. I am out of milk though (except canned stuff, which I can't stand straight, bought it for when I want chai but am out of milk). Soup is not quite the same with soda (which I only have a little of, since Food 4 Less had expensive soda) or water.
Oh, and I'm remembering why one of my favorite CD's is actually a series from Time Life. Yeah, sounds bad, but Discs 7-14 of Grooves are awesome. Currently listening to a "live" version of "Brick House" by Joan Osborne. Thanks, Dad. Someday I'll try to get Discs 1-6 to finish out the collection. They also turned me on to other great bands, including The Bogmen, Lisa Loeb and Matthew Sweet.
Currently reading "Mendoza in Hollywood" by Kage Baker. Pretty good series (other books include "Garden of Iden" and "Sky Coyote"), focusing on immortals who are saving various treasures destroyed by history for a time traveling megacorp. They have the knowledge of written history (which the laws of physics say they can't change), but since they are born/made in the past, they can't go to the future, they have to live through history. Neat idea, and Kage Baker is good at creating strong character voices that are believable as jaded immortals who are just trying to handle living as anachronisms (such as screening Hollywood epics in Hollywood during the Civil War).
