Not sure if the anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day worked for Pace. He called me a “stupid noob” when I got home then gave me a double shot to the stomach! Time to cut back on the Minecraft I guess… 😉 Talking to people who don’t live in Libraryland often makes me realise that librarians are […]

The Definitive Guide to Every April Fool’s Prank on the Internet Today
Warning: lots of viral ads ahead! Last year, Shea got Pace with the old “bowl of cereal left in the freezer overnight” trick. This year, I got him a couple ways – first, I put peanut butter on both sides of his toast (though I’m not sure he even noticed or cared) and his milk […]

I’ve recently rediscovered hummus. God, that stuff is addictive! The local hard rock radio station playing German quasi-death metal on my drive back to work after lunch recently = Jason has a very productive afternoon! 😉 I’ve mentioned this before but getting to come home for lunch every day is beyond awesome.

Music Monday – “Music loud and women warm/I’ve been kicked around/Since I was born.”
Bruce Springsteen has been covering songs by local artists during various stops on his Australian tour – INXS, AC/DC and Lorde. Oh, and this one… “Staying Alive” – Bee Gees (Bruce Springsteen cover)
Friday Fun Link – FactoClock
[Have had a couple outages in the last couple days which were noticed by both sets of parents (and tells me I have at least somewhere between two to four readers!) 😉 Anyhow, I’ve been told it may be a conflict with a plug-in, possibly the search engine plug-in I use which has grown to […]
