RIP Shane-o (1973-2021)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy For Books (May 2010)

Music Monday – “Wishing I was kissing/A girl with lips smooth as pearl/Wishing I was pretty/Wish that I could twist the world round my finger/Wishing I had money/Wishing for the time to spend it all”
“Wish I Were Skinny” – Boo Radleys

They abandon us in our rooms, teach us how to converse with dust, will not let us forget them. But in our glistening reeds […]
Friday Fun Link – The Jeopardy Archive
A comprehensive archive of every question ever in the history of Jeopardy is nerd-paradise. (Librarians are 14th in lifetime winnings by career-type though I’d like to see this graph on a per capita basis too.)
