Brainless. As in brains of a carrot. That's me.

When I found out I could check out e-books from the New York Public Library, it was like ... I dunno. Discovering coffee's addictiveness for the first time. Or something. Just having that freedom was wonderful, and it worked even when I was in Athens.

I forgot my library card back in my Athens apartment when I came back here, but that was okay, because my browser's autocomplete forms had the number and my PIN stored.

Until last night, when something glitched in my laptop and the autocomplete forms got blanked. So now, the only way to get my number is to go back to that apartment to find the card laying on top of my desk, which requires a nine-hour airplane flight, which I can't take for at least another month.

And to think, if I'd bothered to copy down my library card number at any time during the entire month of November, I wouldn't be jonesing for the e-book catalog right now.

Can't you call the library and report a lost card and get a new one, or give them your info to get your card number?

well, a nine-hour airplane flight to fetch the number from the apartment would certainly be the most time-consuming and dramamtic way to get the number but the only way? Naw. Here's a handy and time-saving alternative -- call the NYPL and have them look it up.

You'd have your number and have your fix in your hands faster than you would clear airport security :-)
