Today at the library after spelling his name out loudly and slowly and I typed it into the system, the man shouted at me for misspelling it.

Damn millennials, ruining nightclubs.

A screenshot from Duolingo. The translation from Welsh states "Owen's nightclub is selling parsnips". Welsh Duolingo is obsessed with parsnips. Not leeks!

Being a reader means constantly deciding between reading the books you already own or buying new ones you’ll also ignore

Today at the library, I found this heartbreaking snapshot of family life in a kids Christmas book. I think the last line reads, "Do you miss Dad?"

A note, seemingly written between young siblings, that reads,
"Sib 1 - Am so sorry love from Ivy xxx
Sib 2 - Me too is mum being rude
Sib 1 - Your rite (sic)
Sib 2 - Bo you miss bad (sic)

I'm going to lower the tone now, and share this clip from Colbert's interview with Gary Oldman, who loses it completely when 'Jackson Lamb's noises are added to his other roles...

Now I don't want to cast aspersions about the zookeeping staff here, but I'm pretty sure someone's been messing with the tigers.

Never a dull day in library services - today the old smelly man who left a poo on our stairs described, in detail, how he was going to stab his neighbour through the heart. And now I have to talk to the police.

On Friday afternoon in the library, a gentleman pauses as he ascends the stairs from the reading room to the mezzanine, he gently shakes a little poo loose from his trouser leg, and goes on his way.

Now that's a nice cover. William Faulkner - Light in August, 1960 #booksky #faulkner

The cover for William Faulkner's Light in August in a lovely shade of English Mustard yellow, black and cream. The name Faulkner makes the centre of the cover, designed in cubist style.

My week is still not improving. Thanks Peanut for the vomit. You shouldn't have.

During the first year of the pandemic, I did #moraleboost threads. I had a unique upbringing and was “in charge of” morale, so to speak. Morale is so important, militaries have departments dedicated to it. They know you can’t fight if you’re exhausted and hopeless, so they work to prevent that. /1

Don't know if it's just a January slump but I'm really struggling to find the book I want to read right now. I want to fall into a new world. I keep picking up different things and giving up after a page or two. None seems to be 'the one' but I know it's there, I just have to find it.

In case you need to be told, as it seems many people do, approaching a stranger at their work to tell them they look tired is rude and not appropriate. So fuck off with that shit.

Everything is terrible. Have a picture of my chunky cat. She is asking me for more dinner but she is too fat and the Irish vet nurse scares me.
