Geek attractant

In the course of my work I must check the precise titles of books and spellings of authors' names and dates of publication and other such minutiae, a detail-oriented activity that a lot of people might find mind-numbing but which I, queen geek, derive a certain satisfaction from. Perhaps you're thinking I'm the kind of gal who is easily amused. And I am -- by certain things. Like the fact that one of the reference sites I use these days, the Catalog of the Research Libraries of the New York Public Library, has a ridiculously apropos nickname: Catnyp.

So that's why I get such a buzz from a room lined by well-stocked shelves. Why any story I tell about a quick trip in search of a single title always ends with an "hours later…" Why that last time I went to a Barnes & Noble I ended up rolling on the floor and mewling and purring and chasing invisible mice and gnawing on my toes. They put drugs in the books! Yay.

This blog is in dire need of updating. C'mon, I need my Jen fix.

Hope you had a pleasant trip home.
