Bloody wankers!

Argh, how annoying. I finally caught that used book store in Chatt. when it was open, but to no avail. They had an entire shelf of Wodehouse, but the prices!! The cheapest book there was $40! One was $80. Yes, they were all hardbacks, and yes, some were first editions, but bloody hell. Not one book was in better than good condition, and most were in slightly poor condition. It's not like they were signed or in pristine condition.

It really sucks, too, b/c they had The Cat-nappers (which is the US version of Aunts Aren't Gentlemen), a Wodehouse biography, the collection of Plum's letters, and a slew of others. They even had Thank You, Jeeves. I want them all, but they're just way overpriced. Stupid blighters.

Anyway, on a happier note, rosabuddatchery, your ABoF&L tape is in the mail, so you should get it soon :) Hope you enjoy!

New Queer Eye in a few minutes! Yay!

I really must wonder if one of them had some prior experience with nursing homes and the like. I mean, that little skit had so much spot on satire that it was positively brilliant. I've never seen anything so perfectly capture the disgruntled and pathetic life of a resident, in which a cup of cocoa becomes the most desperate pleasure of a person's life; as well as capturing the strange mix of compassion and sadism that's an almost inevitable side-effect of working in such places.

Very very clever.

I have no idea, but it's possible. Maybe they did research :) And I very much like your description, quite amusing. Compassion and sadism...heh.
