Me: What items do I have checked out?
Librarian at the Grad: You can check you account online.

Well hmph. [wisdom of eli: everyone who works at a library is a librarian (link?)]

The SI hallways are filled with hilarious product sketches (photo soon)

Lots to read: “Introduction to Logic”, “Capitalism at the Crossroads”, “Wayfinding” , “Image of the City”

I feel compelled to write a post about HP7, mostly because it occupied an unfortunately large part of my day, but also because its HP7 and readers are morally obliged to vent.

The first books in the series were lots of fun, so it’s disappointing that the comforting stories about a BIG CASTLE with ADVENTURES and MAGIC and DELICIOUS FOOD have somehow mutated into an alternate-reality British political thriller about genocide. What? I want castles! Magic! Food!

Also, the amount of schmaltz contained in the epilogue was more than enough to cook my dinner, and I still have some left for tomorrow.
