old books new games

Today I touched a book from 1730. It's cover was made of velvet, though after that many years, it hardly looked or felt like velvet anymore.

Enoch Pratt is a cool library, but I have no desire to ever work there. Perhaps live there, but not work there. haha. There's almost too much information. Plus, I like being a generalist (getting to answer all the questions and not just some). I could see myself getting burnt out if I was stuck in a department where i only got one kind of question all day long. But the central branch is really neat. Especially the very old books. We got to go down into the stacks, which look like a set from Indiana Jones or something. It smelled really good. hahah. If you like the smell of old books, that is. I took a nice deep breath.

this has been an incredibly long week. And there are still 2 days left! Thank goodness Friday morning I have 4 hours to do work in the backroom! I'm sure my inbox at work is piled high with random bits of paper.

Still no word on Mario DDR - jimithingy checked again and was given the same "hm..we're supposed to get it soon" response. But Gamestop's site changed again, now it says "ships in 24 hours". So I don't know what's going on! jimithingy is hoping that it means they got them at their main office and have actually started shipping them out now....*crosses fingers*
