all so very dangerous; i can’t stay away

it turns out the tall boots i bought on sunday afternoon were not an unjustified indulgence, but rather a preemptive celebration: i have gotten a job! yes, i did already have a job, but now i have a better job! i liked my job at special collections, and of course i loved working there, but [...]

problems with easy solutions

i love library school because here, “i want to finish my book” is a valid excuse for not going out to the bar.

i’m so tired, and i wish i was the moon tonight

of everything i am and of some things i am not

hey, look, i have a blog! i wonder what i should do with it? maybe post?
