I was talking to a friend who refuses to join Facebook. They said that part of the reason they didn't want to join was how competitive it seemed: “I have 46 friends.” “I have 87 friends.” “I have 99 friends.” And what's the first line of my Feliciter article about Facebook? “I have exactly 159 […]
This is a post I started near the end of library school and meant to post during my furious last week of longish, library school-related entries. But I never got it finished so I thought it would make a good 500th post for this blog instead. Yep, I’ve been at it just over a year […]
The woman who teaches the course, Sally Elliott, gets raves from everybody we talk to so I'm pretty excited. Plus I'll find out if reading “The Poo Bomb” is sufficient preparation for having a child.

Now, we just need:“My Grandpa Thompson is a Gas Man”“Help! My Grandma Thompson is Stealing Me (again)”“How come my Grandpa Hammond has as many teeth as I do?” “I think my Grandma Hammond slipped some homemade wine in my bottle!”…and we're good to go! Thanks to Meshell for the tip!
To combine this as both a baby and a library-related post, I'll go back to an entry from a couple weeks ago where I talked about my favourite presentation from my year in library school which was on the topic of online broadcasting. One of the main points I discussed in the presentation is how […]
We had an ultrasound today. Unfortunately they didn't provide VHS or DVD video nor allow us to record even a short clip ourselves (it is a diagnostic procedure after all. But man, are they ever missing out on a guaranteed cash cow if they provided that option!) Anyhow, they did give us some photos including […]
