science library, live

so i click on 'new window' in msie on the science library computer and get the

! you messed up (=this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect placed on this computer by your system administrator)

error message.

mmm, okay. so i click the msie button in the taskbar to launch a new version of the application and...

...it works.

ahahahahahahha. i love illiterates!

...sometimes

items of horror

1. the library doesn't have or even LIST, which means they have never, not for one single issue, had, the journal of sedimentary geology.

2. a user icon with matchbox 20 lyrics ('bent') used in my community! ASKL;AJF.

watch for more updates later!

3. Q: wouldn't it be funny if they didn't carry the really MAJOR field-specific journals like geology, biology, the journal of zoology? A: no. (geology is still here. WHEW.)

4. big!gay!andy doesn't number his pages. it's easy, asshole. click 'insert.'

5. no geoarchaeology.

6. when i looked up the journal paleaogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology for the first time today i knew at a glance that the call number had changed (from QE500.P25 to QE1.G417). 'oh, no,' i said, 'did they move the old issues of it to the annex*?'

*annex=basement of another library, with no photocopiers. you can get 3 volumes at a time from there, which is a problem in this case, because palaontologists tend to be understandably fond of this particular journal**.

**affectionately known in the 'field' as 'palaeo cubed.' 9.9

7. has dad converted me to reefs? @.@ (catalog doesn't list international society for reef studies, european meeting, abstract volume. my first reaction is... indignation?)

o.0

am looking up articles by a geologist named kowalski! only it's spelled a little differently. but still! >.>

at least i'm already past the 'f's.

hobbies of the gay and long-winded

big!gay! andy's partner (billy bob thornton-lookalike architect larry) likes to comparison shop online for electronic gadgets, even, says andy, when he is not planning to buy them. horrifying! either that, or a hobby.

cim's daddy asked him, as a matter of curiosity, what he would rather be doing (than internet pursuit of gadgets).

daddy: and he said, and i quote, data entry.

so there you have it.
