Professor Shana Marcy Garb aka Myrine wipes her brow

She was SO Impulsive. THese new passions, they've lead her to do things, forbidden things, things that are decadent...

She blushes as starts the audiobook, the Fellowship of the Ring... as read by Stephen Colbert, voted one of the sexiest geeks of 2008, and still going strong

"oo talk to me you witty slice of Americana satire"

Wicked.

Her pig looks at her judgmentally

"Oh don't do that. I Just shouldn't have gone shopping, I know, but surely you like your new neighbor?"

The small wooden statuette of Anne of Green Gables on the shelf IS quality

Myrine was warned about Satyr's passions. She was not warned it might lead to a shopping spree because she could no longer resist those literary novelty items. Who knew someone made a Russian Nesting Doll based on the characters of Little Women? And how did she not realize she wouldn't be able to resist buying it?

Well, she refuses to apologize for her new coffee mug ... the one that says "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons."-T. S. Eliot

That's both educational AND historical, dammit

Then again, she should be careful, her salary is.. iffy.

"I may need a support troll" She observes. She didn't know what that term meant exactly when someone suggested it, but that odd gerbil girl student seemed QUITE sincere when she advised it. And the trolls she's met seem nice.

Another sip, and she gets back to work
