Someday, if I ever get around to it, I would like to write the definitive review of America's most fascinating book, the Sears Roebuck catalog.

marilyn@neworcus:~$ grep dict .bash_history
         dict stiletto
         dict pastiche
         dict multifarious
         dict limn
         dict evince
         dict evidenced
         dict reducable
         dict reducible
         dict catamite
         dict prevenient
         dict comity
         dict brio

I would link to the other references if I could recall them; "reducible" was used as a variable name in the compiler type checking.

(Also to note: I now know the proper syntax for grep and avoid superfluous concatenation calls. Thanks, Professor Korn.)

There's a woman on the other side of the cubicle divider loudly wondering to her phone companion whether podcasts are the same thing as MP3s. I considered going and explaining to her the concept and then envisioned how unbelievably Comic Book Guy that would be. I didn't mean to turn into such an unbearable know-it-all, and I do recall my mom trying to deter this course in my life as well.

Let me say now: I got a NY public library card (finally?!) two weeks ago and as of today I am officially addicted. They hold books for express pickup when you request them online, and you can grab them and go and I have a canvas tote bag with my university on it to put my load of books in and they have all the books on my amazon wish list and my goodreads to-read list and it's right near my office and did I mention that it's freeeee?

Sorry Bo, I'm never moving away from NY now.
