Uh. That’s exactly what weight is... you 400 pound tub of lard

You're over by a hundred, you ugly twig. I will center of gravity you into a ****ing wall.

I’ll Albert Fish you.

You probably don't even look like Albert Fish, twinkle toes.

Hey fatty. I gave in and ordered the first volume on Berserk.

The Secret Barrister. A slightly disturbing insight into the failings of the UKs Court system told by an anonymous barrister.

Did you know that magistrates, who have the power to send people to prison for up to 12 months, require no formal training in, or knowledge of, law? As a result they'll often pass sentence based on personal stance instead of lawful fact... Scary ****

Improvisation by Derek Bailey.

It's a pretty interesting observation on various styles of music (hindustani classical, organ, baroque, flamenco, rock, jazz) and their relation to the little categorized but widely used practice known as improvisation. I learned a great deal of things about ragas, flamenco, and baroque embellishments that fit into the greater context of musical lineages that impact the musics we listen to today. I highly recommend a few of y'all to read it. And written by the great guitarist Derek Bailey as well if that's not a selling point.

I am so excited! For a few years I’ve longed to read two books on archival strategies published by The Society of American Archivists, but their price points were just expensive enough to deter me from ordering. I found one listed in the Special Collections dept. at my local university but would have had to take days off from work to access it.

I did a little research and was delighted to learn that I could have both texts ordered through interlibrary loan from the comfort of my own home! They were secured through the SUNY system via WorldCat from my public library’s website at no charge. Now I can enjoy them in a quiet cafe during my three week-long vacations scheduled before the year is out. They’ll be a wonderful way to pass the quiet weekdays to myself and the wisdom they shall impart will be invaluable for my archival work! <3
