to a question she hadn't asked

This might have to be enough for today.

Today which, among other things, was my first day at the library. Really I'm more of a rare books person, and they have me working in archives, which--okay, I can deal with that. (Although if you keep scrapbooks, or plan on donating your papers: please, make your (under- or un-paid) archivists happy. Organize things.) It's a pity that I don't get to play with the awesome rare books (full set of Audobon! huge manuscript of monk music from the 15th or 16th century!), but sometimes that's just life.

After I had spent sufficient hours digging through and organizing papers, I begged off--promising to return tomorrow--checked out Megan Whalen Turner's Queen of Attolia and King of Attolia (I didn't get them when I read them, and enough awesome people of my acquaintance love them that I was willing to try again; on evidence of Queen, which I have read again now, I was right to do so), and wandered down the pedestrian mall for a while before I went home.

Now I am talking simultaneously to far too many people for someone sitting at her computer in her living room, and I had better get some sleep so I don't completely fall over tomorrow, but--hey. I sat down and wrote a couple of pages, at least. That's something.

Other awesome thing: I also get to work in the bindery, where they use a tool called a bonefolder.

That needs to stand on its own, I think. Bonefolder.

Ideas for what a bonefolder should be are absolutely welcome in comments. I have a few already (tool to fold bones with, peculiar word for a grave, creepy creepy character in a children's book--or book for anyone, really--story that's a record of someone's life who's dead now), but I would love to hear more! (Also I can say what it is in this universe and what it's used for, but that's no fun.)
