Some weeks ago I flipped over a tub of glue at work. It got on the counter and the floor, and fortunately not on any of the books. I declared myself accident-prone; my boss was kind enough to deny it.

And then I flipped over a tub of water onto a book. The book itself survived; I put water-resistant covers on it the day before.

This week I tipped over nearly a whole cart of books.

Clearly, I should not be working in preservation. I will destroy more books than I save.

It would be really, really expensive to take a trip to Japan. I guess I can only con them once into giving me a scholarship to goof off and shop. But then again, Professor Crackmonkey.

Tell me what you want for Christmas, Meaghan. If you aren't Meaghan but want something for Christmas, tell me what you want.

It's Laguardia. 2:45. Kinda late.

You're right about the nudity issue. There's a variant (there are about 50 variants, so don't worry about inauthenticity) where Cowherd says "I was going to not give you your cloak back until you said you'd marry me, but you look so cold, and that would be mean, so here you go." And weaving maid says "Aww, you're nice. And you're cute, too! Okay, let's get married."

Idea for #2: When you get the nudity, Cowherd's hidden in the bushes, and you see his view...kind of a 1st-person camera angle... and branches are blocking most of the bodies. But that would look incredibly contrived, wouldn't it? Could you do something creative with camera angles so you know she's naked but you don't see anything?
