Death to thee, MS!

[mizarchivist]

I've got a half day at work, which is good.
I felt motivated to actually do work, which is historically rare on such a day. Hell, for such a week.
I do some web updating and remember why I loathe having to turn any MS document into a Dreamweaver document. It's ugly and cantankerous and refuses to play by Dreamweaver rules. However, the page in question is a temporary one, so I don't give a rat's ass if it's not as pretty as it could be.
In happier news, my craftiness is progressing pretty well. I did clay work last night while watching Chronicles of Riddick (again). It was the director's cut, so got a few more scenes that weren't in the theatrical release. While watching the movie, I had a moment in which it was appropriate to quote Vampire Willow from Doppelgangland:
Evil Willow: (breaks finger) "Who do you work for?"
Alphonse: "Wilkins. The Mayor."
Evil Willow: (breaks another finger) "Who do you work for?"
Alphonse: "You."
I love Willow!

I'm suddenly picturing you dressed as Evil Willow...hmmmm...

[Okay, back to not-work]

You would have to distract me with that image.

You really are a bad influence. Not that I mind it, you understand.

Hi There!

Huh. How very Rorschach!

(Hope that reference wasn't too geeky...) :P

If it is, I'll loan her Watchmen. That should clarify it.

Yep, that was too geeky. What part was very Rorschach?

Hi There!

In the comic book Watchmen, there was a psychotic character named Rorschach who wore a mask with an ever-changing inkblot. His preferred method of information retrieval was to find a seedy bar downtown, ask a few of the patrons there, and break their fingers if they didn't respond quickly enough to his satisfaction.

There's one scene in particular in which he goes to a bar looking for his "friend"'s (Edward Blake) murderer. One of the bar patrons mouths off to him, so he grabs the guy's pinky, snaps it, and annouces:
"I have just broken this man's little finger. Who killed Edward Blake?"
[grabs another finger, snaps it]
"...and his index finger. Who killed Edward Blake?"

I think our library would run SO much more smoothly if we were able to apply this method of information-gathering. [nods]

Here, too:

"Who left the chicken leg on the shelf in Children's Fiction?"
[SNAP]
"I ask again, Who left the chicken leg on the shelf in Children's Fiction?"

It would work wonders! Thanks for the idea.
