Happy New Year!

As you can see, Oscar had a pretty exciting New Year's Eve.  Grandpa and Grandma Hammond were in town for a wedding so Shea and I went down to the Delta Regina to have a visit with them.  They went to the banquet and we stuck around and had supper at the hotel then went […]

Dilbert of the Day

Someone wrote to advise that Daily Dilbert is a great way to pass the time when you're unemployed.  Sometimes I find the humour a bit subtle (as in today's strip – see below) but it's always quality stuff unlike some of the other crap that's out there in the many funny pages on the Intraweb.  […]

Libraries Have Entry Points, Libraries Schools Have Exit Points

Oscar's First Snow Day

UWO had a snow day today and were recommending that no one come to the campus unless necessary.  So of course Shea and I decided to take a walk this afternoon to check things out.  This is the path behind our apartment leading to the University Jason helps Shea relax (by pushing her into the […]

Good Samaritan Library Student Freezes To Death, Wife in Mourning (But Happy To Take Over Blog Duties)

“Shea” here again: They found Jason frozen in a snow bank tonight along with his ever-present digital camera.  This was a photo he took just as he left the bar.  The time stamp says 2:39am but I know this is a mistake as he told me he would be home around 8pm or so.  The […]

Our mini-conference for LIS532, the joint class […]

"You Look Beat Down" (and a stroll down memory lane)

Is it a bad thing when multiple people tell you that you look beat down (or a variation of this – ie. “You look really tired”) within a one week period?  I'd heard about the way this program wears you down, especially if you go straight through in three semesters, but was going pretty strong […]

Lose Yourself

With apologies to Eminem, one of my favourite things, both at school or in the workplace, is when I lose myself in a project and all of a sudden, two or four or eight hours have passed.  Last time I looked at the clock, it was 3am and I was thinking that I should probably […]

Furniture For Sale

Hey everybody,Shea and I are moving home in December so I've put an ad up on the UWO housing registry advertising that we're willing to sell any or all of our furniture and other household items, starting in mid-December.  (Or if anybody stumbles across this blog who is coming to UWO in January, we're willing […]
