Just a mild heart attack.

I just found out that I have to teach the Library instruction session for the junior Art History seminar this fall. And what is the topic you might ask? Art and Politics in Imperial and Communist China. Oh, crap.

Crap.

Today I received a donation of "books" from the housing office. Here's a sample from the first box:

1 (nasty, yellow) pillow
2 pairs of (dirty) socks
2 light bulbs, 1 broken
1 swing arm lamp
1 pencil sharpener containing 2 corroded batteries
1 Apple DOS programmer's kit containing 2 floppy disks that actually flop

Someone call hazmat please.
