I already bought nearly a dozen books back on Thursday at the library book sale. It's still going on.

Logic Me - DO NOT LOOK

Addict me - I'm just walking past to go get a drink.

Logic Me - LIAR

Addict Me - Come on, it's 3 hard covers for a dollar and 5 paper backs for the same.

Logic Me - You have NOT read any of the books you purchased at the last 4 library book sales.

Addict Me - But but but

Logic Me - No buts. In fact, didn't you make a New Year's resolution no more reading library books until you've read books you own? For the second time??

Addict Me - Yeah, but

Logic Me - Didn't you just return three books to this library three seconds ago, promise breaker?

Addict me - Yeah but come on, you can't expect me to buy Bleach? That series would be over 500$ and counting. OOOOO look, you love this series!

Logic Me - PUT IT DOWN

Addict Me - No, it's in my hand, it's MINE. I can't put it back now. OOOOO lookee, Diane Wynn Jones you never even heard of. She's passed on, you'll never get another chance. I might need another bag.

Logic Me - You pick up a bag and I'm popping a blood vessel in your brain here and now

Addict ME - Come on, I have three hardbacks already and look, I love this series too. Oh wait, no. Looks like this came out of a basement. It's foxed and has cobwebs on it. EWWWWW.

Logic Me - put it back

Addict me - WEBS! They're on me.

Logic Me - Serves you right. Now stop at three.

Addict Me - FINE. Bitch.

Logic Me - Tell all the fine people reading this where you're storing your books now because there's no room left in your place?

Addict Me - Shut up.

Logic Me - Is that a plastic bin of books in your back seat I see? Is Naru's trunk stuffed with two bags of books and there's barely room for groceries.

Addict Me - these three will fit UNDER a seat right? Flings a dollar at the librarian. It helps the library stay alive!

Logic Me - sigh. Idiot.



Also I'm glad Mom and Dad didn't come. Not sure if it was a bout of IBS or bad chicken from Bob Evans but I woke up at around 430AM with cramps and the runs. I've been up ever since. it took until noon before I felt brave enough to wander away from the toilet and up to do laundry/hit the library. It would have been an unfun day for all had they been here.

ETA - PHOTOS!!


Have a little Caturday.

cube cat photo 100_2569_zpse1557ad2.jpg Notice the tears in this. He likes to try and attack me as I walk by...

And here is my new glasses case. I should send it to ELD.

And I promised this a while back. CHEESE.

The one on the left is the smoked blue cheese and the grey thing running all over the wood box is the scary smoked goat brie.

Also in honor of my last 2 weeks of class, I present my icon to sum it up

I have had that conversation with myself many times. It's why I'm not supposed to buy books - unless it's by a favorite author or I'm already reading the series. Someone I still sometimes acquire the free books at work even though I have dozens waiting to be read at home.

I hope you're feeling better now.

it's a conversation logic me loses every time.

I thought I was until I ate and now my stomach is saying 'you know those nausea pills the doc gave you?'

Your logic you/addict you sounds amazingly like mine. I didn't get to the last day of our library's sale today, but I did buy five books on Tuesday. /eyes teetering pile of books with the five added precariously on top/

Hope you feel better! Tummy troubles suck.

it's a shameful addiction but you just don't want to stop. One day I'll be found dead under a tower of books (it nearly took out the cat last night. speaking of which I added photos)

It was until I ate. NOT as good as I thought I was.

Nice pics. When the weather starts staying warm, I want to get a cube like that one for Nemy. His summer residence, as it were. :-)

Speaking of which, poor thing seems to be suffering from the post-shot malaise. He's curled up so tightly in his little cube I didn't even know he was there until he meeped at me when I went out to pick up his empty food dish.

Kanda loved the cube to death.

Hahahaha, that was me at the plant sale today.

"LOOOOK, we don't have one of theeeeeese!"

Fortunately, I refrained from buying another Chihuly rose.

Sorry you've got yucky gut, and yeah, glad your folks didn't come for a visit.

I'm no better with plants either.

It got better but now nope, it's like you want to live in the bathroom right?

also I added at least 2 pictures to this you need to see

I love your glasses case. Why do you get cute ones, and I get horrid plastic ones? That never last.

Sure you want to live in the bathroom. I know you do.

Kanda, you're not supposed to destroy your cube.

they had a ton of nice ones

I think my intestines agree

too late - Kanda

Sigh.

Intestines usually rule that sort of thing.

Pfft, Kanda.

I just wish they'd get it over with now with all the rumbling and not wait until 4 am again

I'm sort of a douche - Kanda

Hopefully, you'll feel better today.

No comment, Kanda.

I wish I knew. Now my stomach hurts but that's probably the questionable bacon

Yes, Homer. It's all right. You eat that weird bacon.

Your glasses are pretty! And of course Kanda is always adorable lol. Your cheeses however scare me, particularly that goat one...

Kanda knows he's cute

thanks

that goat thing was as yummy as it was gross looking

OH, man, I am so with addict you/logic you on the books thing (also, in my case, the DVDs thing, as I've got a small pile of things I haven't watched yet over there, too). In fact, I went to the used bookstore today after a shelf weed firmly intending not to come back with anything -- except they had a copy of the 2nd HTTYD book and X2 on DVD, which I've wanted forever. Sigh.

BTW, can I post the dialogue bit over on [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes? I know about eight different people who would totally be ROFLing along with me ...

oh good. I loved Howl's Moving Castle but not the other one in that verse (well the castle in the air or whatever it was, the third one was okay). I was very sad when she had announced she was working on another Howl and Sophie story but I believe she passed before she could

I'm cautiously optimistic about the GI tract today

The difficulty is that there's no way one can win that kind of argument.

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
No there isn't, especially with the brain flooding itself with all the happy neurotransmitters at the thought of more books

Have you noticed that no room ever has enough bookshelves - and no library ever has enough books?

Grimores present special difficulties, of course.

Date: 2013-04-22 11:05 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
I have, I have. The local library is so very small

and those grimores are a bear, being so over sized and thick and those locks can nick the shelving.

I have that conversation with myself quite frequently. Oh and my husband sometimes fills in for Logic Me. They both rarely win. :)

Digging your new glasses! They look rather dapper on you. :)

snort. Mom sometimes tries to be logic Me but it barely worked when I was a kid and has no prayer now.

thank you. they're pretty but I need to get them better adjusted.
