I just don't understand people who hate books...

From NY Times:
"The cadre of book-depositers is not without its stylists. The comedian Jean Villepique, who played Tracy Morgan’s therapist on “30 Rock,” says she likes to slam insects between the pages of library books and then return the corpse-laden tomes. “I like to think that someone will get to Page 62 and think, “Eww!” and then, “Who?” Villepique said in an e-mail message. She preys only on small bugs that land on the page voluntarily — mostly gnats (“like a little dust poof”) and mosquitoes, whether unfed (“neat and dry”) or bloody (“page joiners”). But Villepique warns that if any cockroach in her Los Angeles apartment “dares to creep near my copy of ‘Collapse,’ by Jared Diamond, I will kill, knowing that my behavior and the roach’s existence are both causes of the collapse of our society.”"

I mean, really, Ms. who-ever-the-hell-you-are? You're actually willing to not only destroy a living being for pleasure (yes, I realize they're bugs; still...) AND destroy public property to do it? You realize that the people who are most likely to find your destroyed library books are librarians? (wait, I'm sure you couldn't care less because they won't boost your so-called career) That they then have to remove the book to either fix or destroy the book, then take the time to buy, process and catalog a new copy? (Again, doubt you care; you probably think that the world OWES you the time it takes to clean up after your gross and unsanitary habits) Not only are your little murder sprees disgusting, but they're costing your PUBLIC library time and, worst of all, precious collection development dollars (more likely than not, they're already understaffed and woefully cash-poor, moreso than you, my little nobody-of-importance-or-influence). But of course, if you're the kind of person who takes pleasure in splattering bug guts in library books, willfully destroying property that could benefit EVERYONE, I'm sure the exact kind of person who thinks that libraries are a waste of space and that your sick, demented pleasures take precedence over the millions of people co-habitating your region and utilizing that same library's resources.

Some people are just disgusting human beings. This no-grade non-celebrity is exactly what she claims to detest: a cockroach. She claims to be the collapse of our society...I wouldn't give her any credit; she's just a disgusting nobody who tries to bolster her ego through perverse and destructive means. Here's hoping she never makes it above mediocrity.

Freaking Las Vegas

Ok, I get it: Vegas inhabitants don't see a whole lot of snow without a huge drive or an airplane involved. So I do understand why life might be a little jammed when Mother Earth gets a cold flash and dumps 2 inches on the city...

HOWEVER...

(from cnn.com) "The typically 15-minute trip took six hours, and when she finally arrived at her street, her Prius got stuck in the snow."

Hm...15 minute drive? So, figure that's about 5 miles(most...it's not like we're talking SF or LA here people)...The average person walks 3 miles an hour...That would have been an hour and a half walk. In the snow. Yet this dinky-ditz stays in her pseudo-eco-guzzler FOR SIX HOURS. Here's a hint, pretty baby: Get yer ass out of the car and WALK. Bonus points: You'd *really* be saving the environment, rather than sticking it up Mom Earth's ass with your globe-trotting, chemically-enhanced eco-terrorist car. Think about it.

I don't know what it goes to show, but I had to vent. Thank you and g'night!
