Thought you guys might enjoy this story.
Near my school, there lies a humble thrift store. This thrift store has a LOT of REALLY CHEAP books. You can get paperbacks here for 25 cents. However, this cheepness comes at a cost: organization. Seriously, the layout is basically Children's Books, Foreign Language Books, and Everything Else In No Particular Order. During the past few weeks, I have taken to occasionally dropping in to search for some Jeeves, or ANY Wodehouse for that matter.
Today, I was bemoaning my inability (out loud to my friend Seren) to find any Wodehouse here because of the aforementioned disorganization.
About 10 seconds later, I found a first-printing copy of The Gun Seller.
How do you do that, Hugh?
ALSO, the other day I found a post here that linked to audio clips of Stephen Fry's introductions to the Masterpiece Theater airing of Jeeves and Wooster. Does anyone know where that is now? because I'm having trouble finding it.
And I will give you guise sum moar arts in about a week or so. A combination of replacing the Photoshop computer's hard-drive and our school's Senior Trip starting soon prevents me from doing so now. But I've been drawing a lotta Jooster.
Toodle-pip, all!
