annundrielI'm cold. This morning it was raining and now the sun is shining, but it is windy. It's not supposed to be windy in downtown Seattle dang it!
Brr.
Yesterday was my first day of work at the library. It was pretty good. I was given a tour of the library, three of the floors at any rate, and then a far amount of material to read about Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress shelving systems as well as work ethics for students and how to shelve periodicals. You know, library stuff. They gave me cards from both types of shelving systems and I had to put them in the right order as a sort of test. Then I shelved books on the third and fourth floors. It's really kind of nice working the floors. There were only a few people on the higher floors and it was very quiet. Except at one point I was shelving in a deserted corner and it was super quiet and all I could think about was Fred on Angel and, "Great, I'm gonna be sucked into an alternate dimension and no one will ever see me again." Just a passing thought you know.
All in all it was a good day.
Saturday was really interesting. Like I said, I went to a whole day of Tolkien related stuff. First there was A Song Cycle composed by Donald Swann of Tolkien's poetry set to music. What followed was three hour and a half long talks by Joseph Pearce who has written several books on the subject of Tolkien among others. The talks were "Tolkien: Truth & Myth", "Creator, Creation, & Sub-Creation in Tolkien's Middle Earth", and "The Christianity in The Lord of the Rings". My favorite talk was the last one, although the middle one had some really interesting points in it. (They were all really good, actually.) But the third talk was especially interesting. He had some very interesting ideas about who Tom Bombadil and Goldenberry really are and, I have to say, I think I agree with him.
I just watched the second episode of the new season of Angel. A question for anyone who sees it. Does Spike call Wesley "Percy"? And do you think that's an HP reference?

Yea! Someone will come looking for me! We will show that alternate dimension who's boss. But, you know, if they want to make us queens that's fine too.

Date: 2003-10-10 10:19 am (UTC)In the second Ep. of Angel, that's what I htought too! I immediately got this image of Wes with slightly-shaggy curly hair..like bedhead Percy. And Angel was suddenly Minister of Magic. Very strange indeed.
happy birthday, for the 40th time :P *MUA* Love you/Miss you!!!

I can so completely see it.
And then everyone else will love Percy, too.
Thanks! I miss you too!!
Ginneesh....Heh. I like it. :D
