I just saw Colin Dexter outside the Randolph, talking to a Lewis cameraman. He's quite short in real life. And doesn't look as much like a child molester as his biog photo seems to suggest. Next corner I turn, I'm expecting to run into Oscar Wilde.
(I have one of those cheap woven cotton braclets on, you know the type, with "meaningful initials" sewn through.. but I got out my needle and thread, and now it says W.W.O.D.)
Now, I know I have at least one Oxford librarian on my flist, and probably a lot of people who just Know These Things.. how does one become a Bodleian Bookstack Goblin (and do they have a real name that isn't that)? Do they really just run around underground fetching and carrying books, or is it part of a job that entails greater responsibility?
Wish I had just a bit more commitment to the revision I'm attempting to do..
Come to intrusion tonight! Yes, you, reading this right now! I don't care if you live on the other side of the world or are painfully underage... You're pretty, and I like nothing better than watching pretty things in black, so. Come!
