i’m still in the LIBRARY! looking for the elusive Ed Sullivan video tapes. i’d forgotten what a research wasteland boise, idaho can be. i got spoiled in college. i took for granted the fact that i was living at one of the largest research institutions in the world, and if i needed any sort of research materials, all i had to do was get off my butt and go get them from the library. inter-library loans meant walking across campus to one of the department libraries to get something, not waiting a week for the library in twin falls, idaho, to send over some audio recordings, when what i really wanted were videos anyway.

now i’m just buying them online. but i’m still stuck in the LIBRARY! because the DSL at the rehearsal hall is down. these LIBRARY! computers are running a version of netscape that was written in about 1962. uh oh, i didn’t sign up at the desk to use this computer, and now the librarian is headed my way with a clipboard and someone who looks like he probably did sign up for my workstation. gotta run.
