Hey folks, didja miss me?
Oh wow, has it really been almost two months since I last updated this blog? Geez, sorry about that ... ain't my face red!
Unfortunately, the dreaded "real life events" got in the way of our good times, and I had to take an unadvertised "sabbatical" to get things in order ... Now don't you all worry your pretty little collective heads over me, it was nothing serious. It's just that sometimes there are certain things that need to take precedent over frivolous things like updating a web site dedicated to the likes of Eleanor Twitty and Barbara Gordon (I know I know, I don't like it any more than you do, but it's true!)
However, here's the thing ... I'm not quite ready to put an end to that sabbatical just yet.
While the aforementioned "real life events" have been - for the most part - taken care of, I still need some more time to prepare these new "case studies" that have been piling up in my absence (and I've got some good ones lined up, trust me!) ... It's a pain to wait, I know, but I won't be satisfied with just tossing up anything on this site and calling it a day! No no no, each entry must be lovingly handcrafted and painstakingly verified, so that they may adhere to the high standards that you've come to expect from us here at LOYT headquarters.
Now, to be honest, I'm just not sure how long this could take ... Might start operations back up in a month. Or maybe two months. Or three.
Or longer than that, I'm afraid.
Sorry to be vague, but you'll just have to be patient with me ... In the meantime, they're still plenty of enjoyment to be had during my absence!
For example, if you're new to the blog or haven't checked up on us in awhile, there's quite a lot of stuff to peruse in the archives (over two thousand entries!) until I get back; feel free to hit the ol' "Random" link at the top of the page and see what you might have missed!
I also plan to update our Tumblr page every now and then, so be sure to keep an eye on that ... In addition, I've found that a lot of the older posts could use some updating (I'm not really happy with some of my earlier work when it comes to transcribing, plus a lot of the YouTube videos are now defunct or have been pulled down), so I might post some "remastered" versions of previous entries here and there (we'll see what time allows).
So in conclusion, I just thought I'd take a quick moment to let everyone know that this blog hasn't been abandoned (not yet, anyway) ... There's still plenty of librarians - real and imagined - that need to be cataloged here for posterity, so stay tuned!

["12 Years Later: The World of the Archivist" appears on screen, then cut to a young woman ("Alex Nolan, Writer/Director") speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: After all of the events of ... the apocalypse--
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: The people that we've seen in ... or, we've just heard little snippets of, or maybe even seen, as we start to wonder--
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: All of those have become much more powerful, and they have become ... a, um, a new world order.
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: In this new world live a character called the Archivist, and--
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: Against her will ... mm, she's resigned to it, but for one reason or another, it's not what she wants to be doing. Um, it has become her task to look through these videos.
[cut to another woman ("Kim Miner, The Archivist") speaking directly to the camera]
KIM: Honestly, she's a really interesting character, for me at least. Um, one of the first things I did as I was preparing was I wrote down a list of her favorite ... um, assault rifles. It's quite a long list, actually, and upon entering the set, I looked at Alex and I was like, "Could I possibly have a knife?" And she provided me with a knife.
[she laughs]
KIM: And also a scythe.
[quick cut to another shot of the actress speaking directly to the camera]
KIM: If I was sitting in my desk, I could kill you in three different ways.
[she laughs]
KIM: Um, because she would never be defenseless.
[quick cut to another shot of the actress speaking directly to the camera]
KIM: She was part of Ellie Burtke's strike team, and she ... It was her life. It was her dream. She thought she would die in a battle, and when she was not, it kind of broke her a little bit.
[cut back to the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: We start to see little glimpses into the life of this woman who has inherited this duty ...
[cut back to the actress speaking directly to the camera]
KIM: She is, um, not afraid of her dark places. Um, she refuses to admit that she has weakness.
[cut back to the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: We also brought in, um, two other characters to sort of interact with her, and one of these is Navin, who is sort of a busy body, and he is a high-up ... sort of secretary.
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: Then there's also, uh, the Archivist's former commanding officer, Ellie Burtke.
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: Well, she's just a terrifying person.
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: And I don't think she's a very nice person.
[cut to another woman ("Solika O'Neill, Commander Burtke") speaking directly to the camera]
SOLIKA: Well, I tried to explain this to my grandmother, and I kind of called her a "military princess" ...
[quick cut to another shot of the actress speaking directly to the camera]
SOLIKA: She puts up a wall, so she's ... like, stands up straight, makes sure no one sees her beneath that surface.
[cut back to the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: She holds a very special position, I think, in the librarian's world and in her worldview.
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: The Archivist is a very interesting character to work with, because um, as I think will become clear as the series progresses, she has a much more complex story than it originally appears. And I think that, in many ways, you could see the Archivist as ... being an accent to the story of the five survivors.
[quick cut to another shot of the writer speaking directly to the camera]
ALEX: Or, you could see them as accenting and helping her story.
[cut back to the actress speaking directly to the camera]
KIM: She's very bitter, and honestly, it was Trace and Harry and Adrian and Kimber who really brought her back. Um, even though twelve years in the future, they had no idea they were doing it, but their hope in the face of the apocalypse helped find her hope in the face of her own apocalypse.
["Subscribe!" appears on screen, then cut to the other actress saluting the camera]
SOLIKA: Until the end!

Let's find "Love" between the lines together.

From mydramalist.com:
The Library (2012)
Drama, Romance
How do you woo a woman in a library where talking is frowned upon? Jim (Ananda Everingham) begins to frequent his local library after he becomes smitten with the beautiful librarian, Ann (Selina Wiesmann), who works there. Unable to talk freely, Jim tries to woo her by leaving her notes inside of the library books he borrows. But when Ann finds the notes only after Jim stops coming to the library, will it be too late? "The Library" is a 2014 Thai short film.

From student-weekly.com:
Libraries are generally where people go to read, study and gain knowledge or information. But in the new short film The Library, it becomes a setting for a romantic story.
In The Library, Jim (Ananda Everingham) visits a library often because he has fallen for a beautiful librarian named Ann, played by 21-year-old model and actress Selina Wiesmann (Se). Because they meet in the library where they have to stay quiet, Jim tries to communicate with Ann by leaving messages in books.
The 20-minute film is due to be released on Mono Group websites and YouTube on August 29.
Student Weekly recently met up with Se at our office to chat about her first lead acting role and her work on the TV sports show, Sanae Geela (Charm of Sport).
Student Weekly: Do you enjoy reading in real life?
Se: I enjoy reading various kinds of fiction books, from fantasy to mystery and crime. I used to like Sophie Kinsella's books like Confessions of a Shopaholic, but she doesn't release books very often these days.
Student Weekly: Did your experience working in TV ads and on Charm of Sport help you to act in The Library?
Se: Yes. Those experiences helped me get used to the cameras, so I didn't feel nervous when they were filming.
Student Weekly: How do you feel about your first leading role?
Se: I'm thrilled. I did whatever I could to make the film as good as possible.
Student Weekly: Did you have to adjust yourself much to play the librarian character?
Se: Ann is similar to me because she's quiet, but she also has a sense of humour. I had to get used to the funny scenes because I'd never tried comedy before. I learned about getting the timing right for a gag.
Student Weekly: What was it like working with Ananda?
Se: I'd worked with him before in the movie Happy Birthday, as well as on a TV commercial. He's a nice, down-to-earth person. Watching him working professionally is a great way to learn about acting. Ananda is a great actor. I wish I could be as good as him!
Student Weekly: How do you feel about leaving messages in books like Jim does in the film?
Se: It's very romantic, but it's the kind of idea that could fail if you didn't plan it well.
Student Weekly: Do you have a favourite scene in the film?
Se: I like the scenes where I act with Pompam, who plays my co-worker in the library. He's so hilarious. I had a great time working with him.
Student Weekly: Where there any difficult scenes?
Se: The emotional scenes were tough, especially the crying scenes. It didn't take me long to cry because the script is very sad, but I had to work on the same scenes many times so that they could film from different angles. My eyes were swollen after crying so much.
Student Weekly: Since you work on a sports show, do you have a favourite sport?
Se: Because of Charm of Sport, I meet many athletes and have the opportunity to try lots of different sports. I recently tried Kendo, the Japanese martial art. It was interesting to learn about its history.
Student Weekly: Why should everybody check out The Library online?
Se: If you like romance, comedy and drama, you will like this movie!

[scene opens in the library of Guild University, as the player walks up to the elderly male librarian (grey beard, monk's robe and cowl) and selects "Interact"]
LIBRARIAN: What can I do for you?
[the player selects "What is this place?"]
LIBRARIAN: You've been attending the University for some time now. You mean to tell me you've never stepped foot in the Guild Library?
[the player selects "I've been busy"]
[the librarian's dialog box appears empty]
[the player selects "I'd like to order a book"]
LIBRARIAN: Hmm, it doesn't look like you've taken the Guild Library course. You can browse the catalogue, but you'll have to learn that skill before I can allow you to place orders.

Unable to order books from the Guild Library
I learn the library skill then go to the catalogue; When I click to order a book it will say "you can't afford to place this order" even though my currency say 13,888. ( the books are 1000-7500)
* TimePointFive [has FRONTIERS] Dec 17 @ 10:51am
After I order a book, I am unable to pick it up as it breaks my Librarian (one dialogue choice will say "yes, here is your book" and give me nothing no matter what, and the other option is always a no). I've tried reloading saves, but all that does is reset the entire library (including deleting any progress of books having been in transit).
Here is my output log
http://pastebin.com/tUZsytjj
* railboy [developer] Dec 17 @ 11:19am
Thank you for the log. I'll remove that conversation option from the Librarian, it's confusing.
The primary way to retrieve books is to interact with the catalogue and browse. If the book has arrived it should be automatically added to your Log when you start browsing. Picking it up from the Librarian was just a secondary option.

Don Schopenhauer Perez, aggressive and authorative, is the library's new Director.
However, his staff leaves a lot to be desired.
Don Esteban Fattori, the library's Subdirector, is known to all as the Old Goat.
Senora de Luppi, the library's Secretary, can't seem to keep his appointments straight.
Achilles, the library's Janitor, is fixated on locating a spitoon.
Monteiro and Martinez spend more time mocking him than doing work.
How is this new library ever going to get off the ground?

From wikipedia.org:
Carlos Maggi (born August 5, 1922 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a Uruguayan lawyer, playwright, journalist and writer.
He is one of the last surviving members of the Generation of 45, a Uruguayan intellectual and literary movement.
Works
* La trastienda [The Back Room], (Teatro Verdi, 1958)
* La biblioteca [The Library], (Teatro del Pueblo, 1959)
* La noche de los angeles inciertos [The Night of Uncertain Angels], (Teatro del Pueblo, 1960)
* La gran viuda [The Great Widow], (Teatro Solis, 1961)
---
From google.com:
Uruguayan dramatist Maggi opens this play in 1917, with the young library director (the Director) fulminating over his speech on the laying of the new library's cornerstone, a speech to be attended by the Secretary General. He is also in a dither over a poem on which he is working, "The Low Blow of the Oboe," for a literary magazine and worries whether his frock coat will be ready for his weekend wedding. In the midst of these claims on his attention, he interviews a woman who wants to work in the library. "I love books!" she exults. "I've got one at home."
When the next act begins, set ten years later, the new library has not yet been built. Decades more pass, and still the "new" library remains a figment of the staff's imagination. They stumble through their pointless work as makeshift adjustments in the old library solidify into permanent features. The formerly young Director is pushing into middle age and not liking it. "My life's become meaningless, bitter," he complains. "I'm wasting my life, throwing it away on one stupidity after another." He can't stand his family. He hates his wife. "Life is so wonderful," he says, "I've thought of killing myself."
In the end, when the library is about to undergo demolition and the collection is in dead storage, a literary scholar engages the Director in a nonsensical, pompous argument over obtaining a manuscript. With the library about to come down around his ears, the Director laments, "All the days of my life. Coming to the same place, seeing the same people. And what for? For nothing. Absolutely nothing."
A play of merciless futility and hope that exists only to be defeated, The Library initially offers some space for laughter, but the joyless, bureaucratic absurdity that accumulates throughout leaves room for little but despair and pity.
