Weekend Update and Library Stories

So The Robot Collector's been busy this summer. Busy with what, you may ask? Well, I've been working at the Ledding Library in Milwaukie, right near my house, for the past few weeks. I shelve things there, mainly. Books, CDs, VHS and DVDs, magazines, manga, you name it, I've put it in alphabetical order. I've been somewhat of a hero down there, as I've been going in on Sundays and Mondays. Sundays are the absolute busiest, most hectic days, and those are the ones where I end up shelving a whole cartload of DVDs. The carts for DVDs are pretty big. They come up to just past my waist and they're fairly long too. They have a divider splitting each shelf in two, making for two shelves on 2 layers. I usually take a full or almost full cart (Usually no more than 3 shelves) every day I go in, and in 20 minutes I have them organized by the first letter of the title. I must say, I love working there. It's my element, and I'd love to work there for money.

Time to change subjects abruptly.

Here's an interesting thing I ate yesterday. So I'm at a friend's birthday party, and we went to the Izakaya Kaiten sushi restaurant at Milikan Way in Beaverton. A kaiten for the record is the Japanese term for a sushi restaurant with a conveyor belt system around the table that you pull sushi off of and pay by the plate. While I was there I ate some damn good sushi, but there was one that was just unbeatably awesome. Bacon Sushi.

Bacon sushi is apparently cucumber with crab stick wrapped in bacon. Yeah, you heard that right, goddamn BACON. Now, bacon is one of the most excellent, tasty, and popular meats. I mean, they have Baconaise and bacon salt and bacon everything. But I never thought they'd make bacon sushi. And I never knew it would be so damn delicious.
