*sits at the fire with Em*

Want to roast a bun? (as in bread, I don't know the proper word)

*puts dough on a stick and roasts it*

Em · 2009-01-21 07:57:27

Let's add some sausages -- *puts sausages on a toasting fork and roasts*

Sahi · 2009-01-21 09:13:20

Ooh, sausages would be awesome!

*does a happy dance* I've implemented all my test-cases. Now all I have to do is clean up my code (and implement a front-end, but that's the next task).

*limps in*

Feet are still protesting against working, and even more against grocery shopping after work.

Em · 2009-01-21 10:49:07

*sets a pan of hot water out for Magpie to soak her feet*

I have found, while doing boring work, I can listen to a book on tape (or CD). If I miss something, I just back it up and re-listen. I am currently listening to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, which is very interesting, what with all the footnotes.

Magpie · 2009-01-21 11:01:31

I tried to do that while working in the garden last year, but I didn't want to buy any, and the library has very few audiobooks, and the few that they have didn't interest me.
I wish we were allowed to listen to anything other than the horrible whiny radio at work.

Our library has quite a selection -- which is where I borrowed this one from.

Magpie · 2009-01-21 11:43:00

Our library sucks. They have this huge, new building (which I find rather less comfortable than the old one), but no books that interest me. The fantasy section is tiny and the books are all ancient - I was really amazed that they had any Tadbooks.

Now I miss the old library... it was near my old school, so I could stop and get something to read on the way home.
And I also almost miss my old school. Not school as such, but the atmospere there, and my classmates and teachers...
Partly, vocational school is to blame for that, and partly, I blame Obama - he reminds me of one of my classmates. If he turns his head a certain way, or laughs, I swear he looks just like him. Always makes me giggle.

Em · 2009-01-21 11:55:46

I have a hard time staying in our local library; it has mildew, which makes me sneeze.

The library downtown is nice. But, I don't get there often enough.

Magpie · 2009-01-21 12:07:15

I'm just realizing it's been ages and ages since I've been to the library at all - nearly a year.

Em · 2009-01-21 13:51:06

Put it on your "to do" list Magpie.

Magpie · 2009-01-21 13:56:44

The catbeast seems to be afraid of our visitor - he's spent the last two hours or so crouched under my desk, not moving.

it's probably been 15 years since I set foot in a library....

Library's are great. They have books.

Yeah... but I have to give them back.
I like to keep my books. It's quite stupid, because I rarely have time for rereads, but I still want to keep them.

Oh, I understand the desire to keep books. However, there's lots of books I don't even know exist -- and I love browsing through the stacks.

Magpie · 2009-01-21 14:34:20

That's true, too.
I should check where there is a library around here (since I don't like the new main library).

Anyway, bed.

Em · 2009-01-21 18:13:51

Home. It is cold. I dug up my electric blanket. My toes will be toasty tonight.

Marian · 2009-01-21 19:30:38

I love the library. I don't think I'd have been able to read anything new in two years without it. And I find it useful for the things I am mildly curious about but won't by, like self-help books.

Sahi · 2009-01-22 00:42:00

It's been quite a while since I was last in a library. I'm still a member though, kind of like a sponsorship. :) As a kid I visited the library quite often.

sisterdew · 2009-01-22 07:37:00

*peeks in*

i see,it's as quiet here as it is in RL*yawns* Mistborn kept me up nearly all night and i'm still not finished*pouts*

Em · 2009-01-22 07:53:44

*hellos the Mint*

Sahi · 2009-01-22 08:39:12

*waves back*

Struggling to get a table to appear in my webapp. (Wicket-related trouble)

Sahi · 2009-01-22 08:56:00

Five minutes left, time to pack up.
