Wow, I got my first piece of unsolicited comic book-related marketing e-mail today. It was quite exciting!
Hey, just so everybody knows, I’m willing to sell out for free comics. Let me list the advantages for you:
Due to the recent weirdnesses of google’s search results, I can possibly offer you high results on google. I am [...]



Boston Public

Sometimes it takes me forever to get around to reading something I know I should be reading. I went through much of smallstoriesonline last night.

I ended up suddenly filling in for the late shift at the reference desk today. I don’t usually mind taking on extra hours, because I like working the reference desk (today I introduced someone to sociological abstracts and tracked down an engineering journal that had gone through a couple of name changes).
