Bury our hearts in the attic

Me: I'll just print out these poems in preparation for tomorrow night's weird fiction reading.

Printer: *prints all pages mirror-reversed except for the one whose title is in Yiddish*

Me: . . . so we have sheydim in the printer?

My mother: Why not?

(I showed her what had happened by holding the pages up in a mirror. She believes I should do my reading tomorrow from the reversed pages, using a mirror. I am, I think not unreasonably, a little concerned about what I might get if I do.)

This is so freaky and wonderful. The spirits are very near, and they feel like playing.

It kind of made my night.

I did an advanced Google Book search the other day and got results in Catalan. No idea how. And Twitter once went Basque on me. Both effects went away apparently on their own.
