Today's complaint: Another great independent bookstore is closing. It was bad enough to see NYC lose a lot of its independent gay bookstores (A Different Light, the Oscar Wilde Bookstore in the Village), now this. It makes me want to go buy stuff at my favorite downtown bookstore. Must. Resist. "But holy, you always said you wanted a complete set of Proust..." Stop it right there, sister!

Today's amusement (which you won't appreciate unless you're a fan of the U.S. version of The Office): Battlestar Office-ica.

Once upon a time I had composed lyrics to the BSG theme, which I would sing at the beginning of every episode I saw, in my best Lisa Gerrard meets Edina Monsoon voice:

It's the Battlestar...Galactica!
We blow things up.
Cylons have sex.

Battlestar. Oh.

(Sorry, badtyler, I haven't been able to find the lyrics to my other hit, "Me and Robert Downey"...)

Another one bites the dust... gah, that upsets me and I won't even be living in NY anymore. But every time an independent bookstore dies, another big box wanker piece of crap makes more money.

The last time I visited A Different Light... it's an awful feeling, to know I won't go there again. Can't go there again. I almost wish I'd known it would be the last time... but maybe that's for the best.
Bloody wankers.
If Kitchen Arts and Letters goes... um, hmm? Guess I can't be all that threatening. How sad. I feel so powerless. I'm just hoping The Librairie on Chartres St. is still open in New Orleans. It is (was?) a wonderful place to buy used books of every persuasion.

I can't find my silly lyrics, either... I have a feeling they'll turn up when I start packing up all the crap in my desk.

Cylons have sex.
Lucky Cylons.
*bg*

I'd better stop before I attempt to convince you that you need that set of Proust...

If Kitchen Arts and Letters goes

Lenox Hill Books, which is in that neck of the woods, closed not too long ago. And I heard that Gotham Book Mart is having problems and may not reopen. (Their rent? Is $51,000. A MONTH.)

Lucky Cylons.

I'm confident you will have sex again! As God is mah witness! Hell, you're gonna be in NO....

$51,ooo.oo???

Sweet Jesus Case... that's a lot of rent.
Also a very sore spot with me, cos I hate going into B&N, but... sometimes, one must have a book. Stat!

Yes, I read something somewhere about NO being the one place where the Bible Belt is always unbuckled.
I wish I could claim I said that, but... I didn't!

And I did find a place in the heart of the gayest part of the French Quarter.

If I don't get lucky there... ah, let's not even entertain the notion!
