- Floating LUSH? Are you an alcoholic? No, that part of my name is for Lush Cosmetics. It’s a British company that has stores in the US (and many other countries); their products are vegetarian, cruelty-free, ethical, and green. Quite hippy-ish, really. Plus they smell AMAZING.
- Oh. So what are you when you’re at home? I’m a librarian. I work for Dakota County Library, one of the seven public library systems in the greater Twin Cities metro area. I live in Minneapolis.
- Bollywood? Really? Come on. What, you don’t like colorful song and dance extravaganzas that run the gamut of human experiences and emotions? Fine, more for me! And by the way, there are plenty of Bollywood films that aren’t three hours long, and not all Bollywood films have song and dance numbers. And if you even mention hackneyed plots, shallow characterizations, and lazy storytelling, have you seen what Hollywood has been spewing out lately?
- So how much exercise do greyhounds really need? Not very much, actually. Greyhounds are surprisingly lazy. One or two walks a day, and Lush Puppy and New Puppy are good to go. Little known fact: greyhounds spend most of their day sleeping. They are often called 40 mile an hour couch potatoes.
- Where else can I find you on the web? You can find me on Twitter, tumblr, and LibraryThing, plus a few other places. But those are the main ones.
