Surely something good happened to you today

No, I live in an itty bitty city and readers seem to be in the minority. Not to mention that libraries don't keep older books on the shelves like they used to.

Speaking as a librarian, this is true. People still read novels, but our nonfiction gets almost NO traction. We mostly serve to support welfare self-service websites these days.

Had a good day off for MLK Day. Mostly listened to an audiobook (Troy, Stephen Fry) or inauguration coverage, went to a board meeting (....why? Why? On MLK day, a board meeting? Ugh) and then hung out with a friend watching short films on Criterion.
 
My Liverpool FC license plate frames just arrived. :)

My last car had Yankees and Mets frames. I thought about going back for them after the car got totalled but I decided against it. I figure I should start repping Liverpool around here instead!

^*Love * Stephen Fry's voice. He could read a recipe and make it sound like a wonderful short story.
He was hilarious on Whose Line.

This is him as the "trendy vicar" during the dating game sketch.

The library has been holding some reservations for me but, because I've not been well, I haven't been able to collect them. Today I emailed to say this and to ask that they continue to hold the books.

I got an email back saying x, a member of staff, would drop off the books on their way home.

Now that's an amazing piece of service.

Edit for spelling
