All the cool kids are trying it...

Weeding is fun (and I'm not referring to the kind that all my teens smoke in the park before they come into the library). I threw out (sorry, "discarded" ... I was hoping to burn them) 49 Sweet Valley High Books that haven't circulated for over 3 years, the Junior Baywatch series (if they haven't ripped out the pictures of David Hasselhoff yet then the books are obviously not worth keeping), and some enthralling Mystery Club and Cedar River Daydreams books which were mostly written in the mid 1980s and early 1990s. Given that most of my teens here were not even born until 1991, I feel that these books will not be terribly relevant, even though they bring up some stirring issues such as alcoholism, adoption and, gasp, best friends who stop talking to each other because they like the same boy!

On a different note, I'm still a little confused about last night's Lost episode, yes I'm a TV whore so get used to it, as 3 major characters were killed off. Granted they did have a few too many main characters to begin with, but was it really necessary to kill Anna Lucia, Mike and Libby? The only one that makes sense is Anna as she was obviously being punished for having sex with Sawyer, just like the girls in horror movies who lose their virginity in one scene and get murdered with an axe in the next. But I guess if you have to die it might as well be directly after having hot jungle sex with some white American trailer trash.
