setting: the library


i went to the library to turn some things in and check some things out and when i got to the counter,before i said anything, the librarian said to me, "you know, we dont check the books you could just turn them in and we wouldn't know if they were damaged."
i didnt know what she meant, so all i said was, "ok. can i just check these out please?"
i thought about it on the walk home and maybe she didnt know something i didnt know, like i had imagined, but said it because i turned in my books at the counter. had i known what the hell she meant, i dont think i would've explained that i am too lazy to turn them in around the corner, down a chute, one by one, and explain while checking out my new books why i hadnt turned the old ones in though i actually had, they just hadnt processed yet because they are sitting in the back in a bin thingie.
as a note: i started a new painting after all this time and it is very different from what i had been doing before. i think the spirit of old pictures got to me from doing those collages, because those old pictures are my newest inspirations.-emily
