Books to find: The Lover's Tongue (can't find my copy), Insulting English, Four-letter word games: the psychology of obscenity, Wicked words : a treasury of curses, insults, put-downs, and other formerly unprintable terms from Anglo-Saxon times to the present, Expletive deleted : a good look at bad language

Tomorrow I go to the new library and geek out. Oh, and take back overdue books. But mostly? Geek out.
ETA: Library opens at ten AM. Be there, self. Or no Lost for you, only sad sad annotated bibliographies.
Hrm. Maybe I should do that anyway.
ETA2: So apparently, Kirsten Scott Thomas left her husband for Tobias Menzies. I am both shocked and strangely pleased, but mostly I'm left wondering why I even care.
