"Who Are Three People Who Have Never Been In My Kitchen, Alex?"

Michelle is reading “Microserfs” and took up the meme in that book of defining herself by her dream Jeopardy categories.  Cool idea – here's mine:The BeatlesUseless Pop Culture Trivia21st Century American PoliticsNonfictionPotent PotablesOpera (because there's always that one category where you go, “ah, crap”…even when picking for yourself, I guess!) Here's a good article on […]

Today Is "Computer Shutdown Day"

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 […]

Public Humiliation (aka the Public Library Game)

Here's a goofy idea I had for a fun (yet embarrassing) entry… I've been going to public libraries since I was a kid.  I've visited libraries across country like they were tourist attractions (which I guess means that they are – at least for me!).  I've just finished my Master of Library Science degree.  And […]

2006 “End of Year Questions” Meme: A Blog Is Born, A Year in Ontario, and I’m A Librarian!

What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Got somebody pregnant! (Funny how you go your whole life trying to avoid that scenario and then, just like that, it’s the objective.)   Did anyone close to you give birth? My sister had a baby girl named Emmerson Raye.     Did anyone close to […]

Book Meme Too

Jill did the book meme on her blog which led to a blog of one of her friends who had coincidentally done a similar book meme on the very same day.  (Whoa dude!)  The friend's list was “10 Books You Think Everyone Should Read”.  I'm duplicating a couple picks from my other list but here […]

A Book Meme

Saw this on Etc., the blog of the instructor for LIS765 so thought I'd give it a shot: One book that changed your life? I'd say “Diary of Anne Frank” when I was pretty young, probably around the age that Anne is in the book.  After that, I went through a phase where I felt […]
