tis all the same. everywhere.

It's been about eight years, but the last time I was in the Strand, its science fiction section was practically nothing but a closet-wide collection of "Star Trek" novels.

Ghetto, indeed.

Extra-special double-secret thanks to managers, their apologists, and even the Big Nance herself, who have deigned to grace this village of iniquity with their ever-watchful eyes. Even though we all know that you only dropped by to glean even more ways to make people's lives miserable, I still salute your efforts, because I can't imagine it's very easy to type in web addresses with those long claws.

I love insider rants when they are funnyhaha.
