Long Overdue
Who knew there was a market for two California public library staff (the librarian in me must point out that one is by a librarian while the other is by a library assistant. This is […]
No Joke
I knew it would eventually happen and a couple weeks ago it did. Those $3,000+ Louis Vuitton bags that I entertained the notion of buying for about ten seconds started getting copied. There’s nothing subtle […]
