I've always thought one of the best things about librarians/library schools is that they attrack a range of people from all different academic fields of study. I mean, if you're doing a Masters in English, you pretty much know all your classmates have English undergrad degrees. But in this program, we have one person with […]
The following are some subjects I've been able to explore in my first semster of library school via essays and other assignments. I'm pretty happy with this and am looking forward to exploring the many other topics of interest in future semesters… – the meaning of information – whether librarians should be social activists – […]
Yay! Our digital camera finally arrived today after two weeks of waiting, UPS losing the first one that shipped (that's the official line anyhow) and many, many phone calls to New York. It's not as bad as it seems – it was only a week longer than I expected, the hit at the border for […]
Ignore that last post. I had to put a link to Technorati to “claim” my blog. Why'd I do that? I got my first comments today from my old (former, dammit!) co-worker who was searching Technorati to see who linked to her and my first entry in this blog came up. Obviously, I have a […]
I mentioned I'm incredibly busy with an assignment due every day this week (little ones all but they can be time-consuming. I found myself calling Mississippi this morning to verify a fact for an assignment – no joke!) so I probably won't be posting every day like I planned to, at least for the time […]
This is what I would look like if I lived in Springfield. Pretty accurate though they didn't have a “full beard” option and my hair probably could've been shown as being a wee bit longer. Went over to the school at noon and spent the rest of the day there working on two of the […]
I did a surprisingly coherent, typo-free blog post when I got home last night at 5am after a night of hardcore drinking with a few classmates (take that, librarian stereotypes!) But I'm going to remove most of it (nothing controversial was said, just rambling) except to report that “going for one beer” simply isn't possible […]
TV game shows always get their contestants to give a pithy piece of trivia about themselves during the interview portion of the show. Here's what I would tell Alex Trebeck: Alex: “It says here that you married the same woman three times. How does that happen?” Me: “Well, Alex. My wife and I wanted to […]
On MetaFilter the other day, they had a post about a new feature on the Onion where celebs would put their I-Pods on shuffle then talk about the first 5 songs that came up. Most of them seem a bit tweaked (barely anyone came up with a mainstream song – all celebrities apparently only listen […]
Another reason I'm suspect about the majority of blogs out there, is that many of them tend to be little more than exercises in ego. Don't get me wrong – I've got as healthy of an ego as anyone (maybe healthier ). But again, is it big enough to think that my random ramblings are […]
