Christmas Gifts for the Self-Centered Blogger Who Has Everything

I also like the beer stein.  Highbrow | T-shirts, mugs, mousepads & gifts(Thanks to Meshell for the tip!)And here's the reason my entries have been a bit on the light side the past couple days.   (Who knew you could have 40 tabs open in Firefox at a time?) 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 […]

And We're Back…

After a bit of a glitch (or a glit of a bitch if you're dyslexic), we're back.  Got through to Customer Support at NetIdentity very quickly today and my good friend Gregory doubled my transfer limit per month from here on with no extra charge.  Yay! To celebrate, let's blow some bandwidth by linking to […]

Rock Star Librarian

The Library Association of Alberta did a calendar a few years back featuring photos of librarians doing their non-work hobbies – riding motorcycles, belly-dancing, mountain climbing, etc.  We had some brief chats about doing something similar here – either for my cohort or for the whole program via Student Council.  I don't think anything ever […]

Art Slade and Maggie Wood at FIMS Next Monday

Funny story.  After my “Public Libraries in the Community” class today, my group met because we have to come up with a business plan proposal for a new “for fee” service for a library.  We were sort of struggling to come up with an idea as most of us were thinking “libraries = free” (I […]

Guess Who's Pregnant???

(Hint: It's the one on the left.  The other one is pregnant with beer, pizza and Cheetos…unfortunately.)  It's faint but the plus sign is there!

"Dont' Worry – I'm At The Library"

In addition to giving out free water, a free keychain with a combination compass, pen light and whistle, free candy necklaces and free frisbees, Weldon Library had a pretty cool idea to help promote the library for their Frosh Week display – producing on-the-spot postcards at their display just outside their front entrance.  On a […]
