My wife has not bought any books all year. I do not think she is well in the head, although I suppose that is between her and me. She goes to this place called a "library" and borrows books for weeks at a time. Bizarre.

Does she then keep them at home long enough so she has to pay a "fine", negating the very reason for going to the "library"?

Wow. You just made the image of NotBob cruising the suburbs in a rented muscle car and winking at mini-vanned soccer moms seem kind of badass.

Ahem. For the record, there was no winking.

But I appreciate the comment, and shall keep trying to become a Not Uncool person. After all, a man's reach must exceed his grasp, else what's a heaven for, right?

Isn't it about time we moved on from TP? Some kind of baby wipe for adults? I feel like there's a market here just waiting for me to make brazillions of dollars in.

It was a riff off of one of your old posts. So really more of a "tribute" kind of post.

You know what song I would like to hear some more of? That stuttering Kanye song.

As you can see by my sig lines, etc. I am ALL ABOUT the stuttering Kanye song....

She likes to flirt with danger, so she has found a library branch where the practice, apparently, is to re-shelve books without recording that they have been returned, and then to bill patrons for failing to have returned them. This leads to the always-pleasurable ritual of locating the books on the shelf and returning them to circulation desk. Such fun! Like catch-and-release fishing, but free, and usually there's no need for waders.

You smiled but did not wink? Sorry, but you are back behind Ty's espresso and Derrida geek out in terms of badassity.

Speaking of geekouts, are any of you indie-popsters into Spoon? I am going to see them tonight. I think they are fine, but cannot get too worked up about them. Someone convince me how great they are.

I buy these, ostensibly for the Brazenette.

Then We Came To The End, by Joshua Ferris, which I read partly on ncs's recommendation and which made me laugh out loud . . .

I came across this on the remainder table at the local McBooks, and snatched it up (maybe it's coming out in trade paperback soon?) -- very funny. The first person plural narrator could have been nothing more than an annoying "oooh, look at me! I have a MFA!" affectation, but it wasn't.

So, thanks ncs via Ty.

Right. Though after Burger's comments on failed entrepreneurism in his neighborhood, I am wondering if we are contributing to the impending failure of public works systems across the country, all in the name of our small children.

In TCOTU, you can renew books on line, request books to be transferred to your branch through the seachable LEO database, download items from ENypl, etc.

It's coolness.

Oh Jesus. You are not whiffing. To be honest, I have not read your signature line since you had that Amy Tan bullshit there for like a million years. I am so not surprised that you have replaced it with that lame ass song.

So it was never about a desire to tap into a market niche, it's about banishing that not-so-fresh feeling. I thought you were an environmentally conscious guy.
