Library [Thursday, January 15, 2009]

Claudia's wardrobe, always...creative...was getting even more so as important pieces (like all of her shirts) disappeared.

Today she was wearing a pink bustier under a white button-up cardigan sweater, black stirrup leggings and bright blue cowboy boots with flowers tooled into the sides of them. Her hair was pulled up into a complicated bun, dangly butterfly earrings hung from her ears, and her old friend the snake bracelet was around her left wrist. On anyone else it would look like a serious cry for laundry day. On Claudia, it looked great.

And she'd probably wear it again even if her shirts came back.

She was sitting down and flipping through Entertainment Weekly, offering unsolicited advice to the stars for their choices of dresses for the Golden Globes.

Claudia thought that Renee Zellweger should've left the "nude on top" look (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Renee-Zelwegger_l.jpg) to people who could pull it off.

Like strippers.

Claudia couldn't wait to find some fabric and see if she could recreate Maggie Gylenhaal (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Maggie-Gylenhaal_l.jpg)'s look. Maybe for the next dance?

While Claudia loved the colors (it reminded her of the curtains in her mom's living room), Jenna's dress (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Jenna-Fisher_l.jpg), well, reminded her of the curtains in her mom's living room.

...Maybe she could have the curtains?

Claudia loved, loved, loved (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Marisa-Tomei_l.jpg) what Marisa Tomei wore. Yay, pirates!

Claudia had brought a healthy lunch of Twizzlers, Reese's Cups and Dr. Pepper with her today. Mmm.

It was getting late, but Claudia couldn't see what Cameron Diaz (http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/assets_c/2009/01/84248032-thumb-420x686.jpg) was trying to do with the pink thing she'd worn.

So the world doesn't end!

After his class, Lee decided to make a stop in the library to check out the girl who'd said hell to him on Sunday. He didn't have anything else to do. It wasn't like he could do laundry.

He was down to one pair of pants and the short sleeved t-shirt he was wearing. He just had to ignore the cold.

He pushed opened the door, got in out of the cold and wondered when the last time was when he was in the library that wasn't his day or Adah's.

Claudia glanced up from her magazine. "Hi!" she said. "Can I help you?"

"Hi, you're Claudia, right?" He was just guessing. Maybe her name was Flipertina or something. He had no idea. "I'm Lee. You said hi to me on the radio so I thought I'd stop in."

"Yep, I'm Claudia," she said. "Hi, Lee! You were singing songs about bananas, right?"

"Yeah, I don't know what that was about," he said and frowned. "I got into the library and just got the urge to sing. It didn't happen to you?"

"No," Claudia said, shaking her head. "I got candy. I'm not about to complain about it."

"Yeah, I wouldn't either," he said dryly. "How's the library treating you so far? No books come alive and talked to you yet?"

"No, but there was a weird frog in a common room," Claudia said, still looking wigged out.

"Weird frog thing?" Lee repeated. "Was it a student who turned into a frog? That sometimes happens."

"He was fuzzy and talked," Claudia replied.

"Oh, you met that frog," Lee said, nodding now that he understood. "Yeah, guess talking animals aren't familiar. Maybe you'll change your tune after you turn into your first animal. I could see you as a...bumblebee."

"I'm from Connecticut," Claudia said. "The only animals that talked were in cartoon movies for little kids."

She was just going to ignore the idea that she could turn into an animal.

"I'm from Caprica--another planet--," he supplied helpfully, "and we didn't have talking animals either. It took some adjusting to but I managed. I bet you will too."

"My roommate says he's from a different planet, too," Claudia said, still not comfortable about saying that out loud. "This place is very, very odd."

"And you've only been here a few weeks," he said. "You ain't really seen odd yet. Ask someone about Special Collections sometime."

Claudia let out a nervous laugh. "That's not the most reassuring thing I've ever heard," she said. "What's in there?"

"Books and...other things," Lee said. "I think people might live in there."

"In there?" Claudia repeated. "But you can't do that. The police take you away if you are living in public property."
