Dan, do you even know if Emilia has green eyes?

Cause otherwise you’re just wasting your time.

You know me too well drew...

He’s absolutely right. I am in no way ready for a stunning young Swede to look me directly in the eyes and say “Hi!” let alone anything else.

I will NEVER be ready for such an occurence; but that won’t ever keep me from hoping to have an opportunity to fuck such a meeting up!

Believe it or not, I have never said shhhhh in my (shortish) career.

*chuckles*

I never smuggled coffee into a unversity library. Never, ever, ever.

Um, well, maybe once or twice.

I also once got in trouble with the guards at your Public Record Office (they changed the name, but you know, that place in Kew) for falling asleep on a document. I was jetlagged. What’s a girl to do?

by gavia on Mar 3, 2009 11:22 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I hear smuggling coffee into a library is a good cure for that...

… better than smuggling plums into Italy when you’re suppose to be in Mexico.

Dude... why WOULDN'T Thor ride the chicken?

by crashdan on Mar 3, 2009 12:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

lol, yeah

Though even I would not try to smuggle coffee into a national archive. They are really really picky in such places. They typically search and xray everything, and you can’t carry any bags or well, anything, into the reading rooms. Very strict.

by gavia on Mar 3, 2009 12:45 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You can ask someone

to smuggle the coffee into the archive for you. Say it’s a pair of cycling shoes, or something.

Bork, bork, bork!

by TheFigurehead on Mar 3, 2009 12:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

And what makes you think they'd allow cycling shoes in the National Archive?

I’ve never personally been there but if it’s anything like the British Library you can only just about get away with a pencil carried in a clear plastic bag. You should have seen the look on their faces when I tried to take my flute in the manuscripts reading room…. Sometimes however, the security man has been known to be asleep. Such an exciting job, sitting watching people coming in and out all day, clearly.

I needed to call in and do some work on the way to a rehearsal.

The flute is quite pricey and I didn’t want to leave it in the flimsy lockers…I’d love even more to have seen their faces if I’d got the flute (or even better, the piccolo) out of its box and started playing what was on the manuscript ;-)

Flute player.

A good example of Ian Anderson's flute playing...

Bach – Bouree

Less wacky by far than the 1970’s appearance of Jethro Tull on Top of the Pops…

My personal favorite Jethro Tull songs: Witches Promise, Overhang, Song for Jeffrey, Skating Away on Thin Ice

I also stand continually astonished how I can post some of the most obscure bizarre shit and someone, someone ALWAYS knows what I’m talking about and appreciates its.

I’d love to have seen you talk your flute into the ms room. Quality, right there.

there should be a thread

about the requirements in different national libraries. (I can’t believe I just wrote that sentence, good god that’s the lamest sentence ever.) Anyways…at the french one they give you this dope see-through plastic briefcase. You can put pretty much anything you want in it though. It’s in the photocopy rooms where things get interesting: someone does the copying for you and it costs something like .50 euros a page (and they only do one page at a time, not both), because “ça abîme les livres”! OK I’ll shut up now.

given my experience of French bookbinding. F***ing horrendous is an understatement. If you actually handle them, they fall apart.

Gah

French xeroxing made me crazy. They actually let me do it, but I had to wait for someone to escort me to the xerox machine and stand there while I did it. And the price was ridiculous. They also couldn’t understand why this crazy American was xeroxing so much. Like, dude, I live on the West Coast of the US, do you know how freakin’ much cash it cost me to come here?

I did some work in the Foreign Ministry Archive, which until recently was actually in the Foreign Ministry. Lots of rules. The freakiest was that you had to surrender your passport at the front desk. Um, y’all are going to give that back, right?

at the German nat'l library

they give you a clear plastic bag with STAATSBIBLIOTHEK ZU BERLIN written on it in huge letters, you have to put all your stuff in there, but then when you leave you can walk around Berlin with your STAATSBIBLIOTHEK ZU BERLIN bag and look all cool and shit

by plinytheelder on Mar 6, 2009 3:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I have a whole range of these bags.

British Library, Cambridge University Library, Seeley History Library…..they make you look, like, so clever. Especially if you have some extremely pretentious book showing through the plastic (which of course I would never place strategically on purpose…)

came home with like 200 pages of handwritten notes from one trip.

80 pages of notes per essay was my usual figure.

My hand would fall off if I wrote that much now with a pen! We charge people for photographing things in our library…woe betide them if they do it without asking ;-)

Really, if you haven’t fallen asleep in a library at least once, you haven’t been trying hard enough.

Verily. In fact, I do it most mornings at 9.30, in my own library!

At least until I’ve had my cup of tea. But a warning: a friend of a friend fell asleep in Cambridge University Library and got locked in. It’s a scary place in broad daylight let alone with all the lights out…brrrr.

I never knew anyone who actually had that happen. Sort of University urban legend, you know? That, and having sex in the stacks. Though I did know someone who did that. In the East Asia section.

Hee hee.

Seriously, there were miles of corridor which only saw human life about once a week, if that. Plenty opportunity for such things you might think, but no, I never found romance in the library. I did once, as a first year, get into a long and deep conversation with a PhD student, alone in the religious history section….but nothing further came of it. There were however all sorts of stories about the number of people who met their future spouses in the library tea room….

Back off Dan... :-)

Brad can wear whatever glasses he wants and please don’t ever compare him to Ricco. He is hands above where Ricco could ever hope to be as a person. And besides, have you watched some of his videos for TOC? Good entertaining stuff.

What can you tell me about Copperopolis RR. Doing it for the first time this year. Is it as bad a course as everyone says?

by jsallee00 on Mar 4, 2009 11:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

descent is very bumpy

There’s a bumpy climb and a bumpy descent. Check your stem bolts ;-) I wouldn’t ride super light wheels, but you don’t need to do anything silly in that department. Some pretty spots on the course. Can be windy.

Go to abbiorca.com – they have a bunch of pictures from previous years. Always a good way to see a course before you ride it.

Hard race, but not impossible. Ride within your limits in terms of bike handling and have fun.

good stuff, thanks

pretty sure I’ll be needing to use the descent to catch back on, unless I can talk one of my teammates into bringing a rope. Looks hard, which is good.

with an all angel choir.

Let me ask you something Daniel.

When you’re not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you “sounds like somebody’s got a case of the mondays?”

No…shit no, man! I believe a person would get thier ass kicked sayin’ something like tha.

if you want Daniel to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Jens, why don’t you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?

I still haven't received my paycheck

 and he took my stapler and he never brought it back and then they moved my desk to storage room B and there was garbage on it…

sounds like my current job

It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime; so where’s the motivation? And here’s something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.
