the library

so my friend hears that there is a lonely copy of madonna's SEX book laying around the houston public library. i don't know where gets this notion. i find it curious, but well, hey, i'm all for looking at smutty photos, what do i care, right?

but this is the idea for the evening and we persue it with gusto. at the first houston library branch we can find, we get ourselves a parking spot and head into the crowded library looking for SEX wherever we can find it. after a disappointing bout of trying to sort things out with an antiquated computer system, we try out luck with dewey's decimal system. there seems to be no SEX on the shelves.

i quickly tire of looking for SEX at the library but my friend will not be so quickly dissuaded. he wants SEX and he knows that SEX can be found at the library, damnit. he approaches an older librarian, someone with experience who is good at finding things. if anyone can find SEX in this library, this librarian can.

he tells her that he is looking for SEX. she heads for the computer. he clarifies that he is looking for madonna's SEX. but i think she knew what he was talking about before that. she, mistress of the antiquated machinery, announces to us, and anyone else within listening distance, "well, we have madonna's 'like a virgin' but you don't want 'like a virgin,' do you? no no no no no, you want SEX, you want MADONNA'S SEX!"

it was at the main branch.
