1,858 irradiated haggis. Check.

Or, rather, 1,858 books.

As part of our moving process, I decided to resurrect my book catalogue, which died untimely sometime back in the last millennium. Moving is a good time to do this sort of thing, because you have to unpack them all out of the endless succession of small book boxes anyway, and the extra effort of making a bibliographic entry helps wonderfully with the, Do I really need to keep Tennyson's Poetical Works? decision-making process. I have a lot of books to go to the used bookstore.

Which is a good.

Best thing I've written recently, this description of one of my cats, to matociquala: He's a sweet cat. It's just that he's also an evil little shit with a Napoleon complex.

I've made two sales this month, one to Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, and one to Alchemy. Which is my third sale to each market. And my contributor's copies of Tales of the Unanticipated arrived. Listen to my ego purr.

And now I'm going to sit and contemplate how to organize my 1,858 books.

Congrats on the sales.

Hey, that's ours.

I'm going to tell Ben you said that. Hmph.

Well, given that we say it to him all the time and he just blinks reproachfully? Not much of a threat. *g*

The professionalism, the nonchalance, just tossing it off like that; "I've made two sales this month..."

Well done.

You will be sure to let us know the categorization scheme you settle on, won't you?

Congratulations on the sales.

Oh. Well, then. Clearly he is deeply steeped in the tea of villainy. I shall simply have to aid and abet him.

(I have no idea where that metaphor came from. If I knew I'd go get me a scalpel and excise the offending part of my brain immediately.)

Tra-la-la-lally, here down in the valley. (Elves, like cats, being the past masters of nonchalance.)

And thank you.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And, absolutely. Just as soon as I figure out what it is.

*ahem*

*points that way*

lnhammer beat me to it.

I'd say this meant there were far too many cats like that in the world, if not for the fact that we live together, and are likely referring to the same one. (The young punk fond of paperclips, scritches, and world domination; not the older, crankier one fond of wet food, scritches, and being left alone.)

Oo! Oo! I must toss that at my librarian friends.
