Bookish Type

I just read an article about the rising price of kimchi and found teaching examples in there to use for my economics course. And now I'm about to update my neglected blog. Such are the lengths I'm willing to go to procrastinate.

I got a box of chocolates today. And fancy Godiva's at that. I may have jokingly told Kos that instead of his books, I wanted a real present from him. How was I supposed to know that he would take me seriously? If I had known, I would have asked for a MacBook Air.

I was looking for a copy of Prof. Papa's book today because as a master note-personalizer, I wanted to fact check a story about him that I knew was in the preface of the book so I could mention it in the note. Unfortunately, my copy was home home, where I'd forgotten to check it last weekend. And while most of my friends were glad to lend a copy, no one had it on them. Except, as Laura pointed out, Prof. Papa himself. He let me borrow the hardcover version. Then asked me how he could help. This was when my smooth side came out.

"Um, yeah, I know that you wrote this, but I just need to look up a story real quick... I'll be back in 10 minutes."

Luckily, Prof Papa is good at overlooking awkwardness for an opportunity to make a joke.

Papa: You don't have 3, 4 copies of this? Come on.

Moi: You know, I gave them all away. It's a shame.

Papa: They should really have a few of these books on every floor, get the word out there.
