And a happy new year

Courtesy Something Awful:

Yesterday I was sitting at the reference desk minding my own business, when someone slapped his hands down on the desk, frightening me to bits. I looked up, did a double-take... it was Curran! He's on leave and visiting Melissa, so he came by the library to visit me. It was very natural to see him at Bard... after all, he was always at Bard before. Why wouldn't I see him here now? But it was a real shock when I realized that I had not seen him in two and a half years....
