theholyinnocentToday'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,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
badtyler, I haven't been able to find the lyrics to my other hit, "Me and Robert Downey"...)

Date: 2006-10-06 02:32 pm (UTC)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???

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!
