An ode to stalking

Yes, these 12 hour days in the reading room would be entirely unbearable if not for the ability to stalk handsome 3Ls.

Yes, that's right, you-know-who, I'm staring at you. Don't pretend you haven't noticed. Oh, you're going to play hard to get, are you!

Bonus game. I will buy a coffee for whoever can identify this famous (and, let's be honest, slightly crazy looking) stalker:

FRLP - The Federal Rules of Love Procedure

The Federal Rules of Love Procedure Part I

Rule 1. - Scope and Purpose
These rules govern the procedure in all amorous interactions and proceedings in the United States district courts of love. They should be construed and administered to secure the just, feisty, and speedy (but not too speedy) determination of every romantical interaction and proceeding.

Rule 2. One Form of Action
There is one form of action — the amorous action.

Rule 3. Commencement of Action
An amorous action is commenced by finding a party whom you could conceivably engage in amorous conduct with, drunken or sober.

Things That Don't Suck

The power of magnets:



Giant swiss army knife (extremely practical):


Modern gingerbread house for your gingerbread gentlemen:



Book of lights:



And of course anything from the MoMa store:

Wish List

Realistically my holiday wish list this season is pretty boring. But in an alt universe, these would be on my list:

I'd like an aluminum water bottle to keep my water cool and crisp. Not quite as effective as 7 ice cubes per 8oz of water, but it would keep my water colder than room temp.

A turntable to play my records on (and obviously I'd like a new sound system too).

Concert Tickets to (almost) anything.


I can't think of anything else. But I'll update when inspiration/procrastination hits.

Breakfast

Today, I tried something new and different.   I had a coffee and a chocolate croissant.  It was delicious and healthy.

My favorite things

Prompted by *someone's* goading, I'll break from whatever it was I was doing to write up my favorite things list. If you buy something for me, please let everyone else know so as to avoid costly (and socially-mortifiying) duplication.

First, of course, my inner 12 year old wants a Wii. I think it'd be fun and give my palm the exercise it so sorely needs. (chuckle)

Next, a Scrabble dictionary so I can improve my g_d-awful game.

Next, maybe a bottle of this absolutely delicious and surprisingly cheap Zin. Available at your local Bev-Mo!

An all-expense paid vacation to the Maldives would do just fine, preferably here: (www.WHotels.com/Maldives)

And finally, of course, an increasingly hard-to-find copy of the Whiffenpoof's 2004 classic, A Very Whiffenpoof Christmas. I'd even let them play it in Zeb for a day, so everyone can enjoy.

I almost forgot! If you drew M.W. in your Secret Santa pool, I have a suggestion:
