Today was my first “hump day” in a long time so I'm really sorry to do this to you but…Our catalouging prof, the newly minted Dr. E. Davies, demostrated the principles of textual analysis using this song. Meanwhile, a teacher I know wouldn't allow it to be played at a high school dance. Such is […]
I used the following list when I did up a “mini-yearbook” for our 10 year high school reunion and came across it recently in a new Facebook group dedicated to the topic. So I thought I'd re-post it here. You Know You're From A Small Town When… 1. You can name everyone you graduated with. […]
I don't hate the shootout as much as some people do. I actually have a much bigger problem with a scoring system that allows for some games to be worth 3 points and others 2 (if I was in charge, a win is 2 points, a loss is 0 points no matter when it happens, […]

Douglas”I thought this anecdote about librarians was funny:“Everyone was saying nice things about John Archer. He was leaving the Legislative Library […]
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 […]
So if you're reading this on Saturday March 24, 2007, you lose! Or something. Of course, it's after midnight on Friday March 23, 2007 so technically, I'm not participating properly either. Of course, I'm too much of an addict rebel to go along with any set day like this anyhow. Actually, that's not so far […]
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.
