- The call for a replacement of IDEA has not been made. (Actually, since the new one is supposed to be permanent and full time, it wouldn't really be IDEA. Maybe just DEA?) The original announcement that there would be a new Director attracted a lot of attention. However, those eager applicants holding their breath waiting for the promised announcement have long since succumbed to lack of oxygen. Librarians are assuring IDEA that she is not interim at all but permanent. This is not welcome news to IDEA who has been thinking deep green thoughts of spring and topsoil and petunias and seedling tomatoes.
- Silver's promised new robes have not yet appeared. Labor problems? A strike at the factory perhaps? The designer broke his favorite pencil and was unable to continue? Silver has given up and is making her own robes.
- Destiny (or Fate or Doom or Dynasty or whatever you want to call it) has still not appeared either. Maybe this is a good time to explain the meaning of strophe and antistrophe. Picture a Greek chorus consisting of Gog and the Lime Green Knight, in appropriate Greek robes, dancing off stage left singing "Des-tiny is coming to town...by Christmas" (to the tune of "Santa Claus is coming to town"). That's strophe. Now picture the Black Dot Queen (I don't think we want to picture her in Greek robes, though. Let's just stick to her normal black robes with the ermine trim.) dancing off stage right singing "I never ever said that at all!" That's antistrophe.
Well, that's the non-news for today. We'll see what doesn't happen tomorrow. (Space is always an issue in publishing. With so much not happening, some non-events are bound to be omitted. We apologize if your favority non-event was overlooked.)
