Read Me: " Still Life in Books " (A [ hopefully ] weekly serial about life in an imaginary public library) Part Three: Read a book and be transported to another world Chuck came into the workroom looking panicked. "I'm being swamped by customers out here," he said to me. "Can you come help?" I got up and went into the public space only to find two customers waiting. One Chuck had returned to serving. The other was a disgruntled-looking old lady. Shrugging, I went up to her and asked how I could help. "The sign outside in your forecourt states that books will take me to another world. This one hasn't." She brandished a book at me. "I want one that does." "Ma'am, the sign is a metaphor. It doesn't mean that by reading a book you will be physically transported to another world. It just means that by using your imagination you can *pretend* that you've been transported." "Metaphor, schmetaphor,

Seeking independent verification of Terrance 's theories on seduction, I consulted a colleague who is not only played Rugby in university, but is also a golfer and a roleplayer. In his opinion, anything short of lying spread-eagled on a bed and whispering his name alluringly would show an appalling lack of effort, and therefore fail to succeed in seducing him. Although I have not put this to the test, I suspect that it is somewhat of an exaggeration. Incidentally, he does not wear a necktie.

4ZzZ have upgraded their transmitter, so they can now be heard loud and ( semi- )clear on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. I was having a listen this afternoon while I was driving around, and although the reception is not perfect I am looking forward to tuning in on Monday at 1pm for "Kaspa's Show", and Tuesday at 1pm for "Poo Party"

" I don't know you're language, Princesca, but I'm getting a Spanish-English dictionary out of the local public library as soon as possible to work on a (very) rough translation. Thanks for your input, whatever it may turn out to be...

The Herald - Zimbabwe News Online Commonwealth Sports Awards Shifted April 15, 2002 The Commonwealth Sports Awards scheduled for Harare, Zimbabwe in October have been moved to Manchester. Zimbabwe has been suspended from the Commonwealth Council and is being pressured to be suspended from the Commonwealth Games themselves over irregularities in the past election. The Commonwealth Sports Awards are held to honor the excellent performances of athletes in the Commonwealth Games. Zimbabwe going ahead with Commonwealth Games Plans April 12, 2002 Though some nations are calling for Zimbabwe's exclusion from this years Commonwealth Games, and some in Zimbabwe are calling for a boycott of the games, Zimbabwe is moving forward with plans to participate and has named a general manager, Robert Mutsauki.

I wonder what Terrance will make of this? Will it have the desired effect, of restoring his 21st-Century Canterbury Tales to its former glory? Time will tell... Viva la Revolution!!! Princesa.

Read Me: "Still Life in Books" You've probably realised by now that it's not going to get finished. I did have an idea about where it was going. Someone was going to get shot. Try and guess who was going to shoot whom! Instead of finishing, here's what the critics thought: "bruin" of yahoo.com said "dear author of the library chronicles: i dont like them, they dont amuse me, and i wish they would just go away" Thanks for your input, "bruin". No one else said anything. It was amusing while it lasted...
Read Me: "Still Life in Books" A serial about working in a public library... *Part the Second: A Poor Standard of Classification* The door to the public space opened and Chuck the Counter Jockey stuck his head inside. "Has anyone seen a baseball cap left here recently?" "I'll field this one," Sheila said to me. She got up and went outside, taking the cap from the book chute with her. Outside Chuck indicated an anxious-looking, bespectacled woman who stood nearby. As soon as the woman saw the cap in Sheila's hand she sighed with visible relief. "Thank you ever so much," she said to Sheila as the item was handed over. "Where did you find it?" "In the non-fiction shelves under 646," the Shelving Fairy joked. The woman smiled gratefully and thanked Sheila again, not having seen the amusing side of Sheila's comment. As the woman left, Sheila felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. She turned to

Sauce: yeah, I used to work on AltaVista (way back when it was cool :-), but babelfish technology was done by Systran . I think it assumes neuter gender for irregular nouns it doesn't recognize. BTW, I might still have all those "Still Life In Books" emails -- but unfortunately not the Princesa Tocalaroca ones (I don't think I BCC'd my real email address, and I've lost my password for Peru.com ). We are taking a walk down memory lane, aren't we?
I believe you should use the masculine "der Saucemeister" rather than the neuter/plural "das"? -- unless that would be giving away your secret identity :-)
