ACRL 2007

I’ll be gone the rest of the week.  I have to go to the ACRL conference in Baltimore.  I can feel myself yawning already.
I’m still trying to figure out why John Waters will be there, though.  Huh.

From the Stacks: The Longest Night (X-Factor)

I hate you, Peter David!
I swore off Marvel.  I was completely done with the House that Stan Lee Built.  I had packed up my old Uncannys, put away the Excaliburs of my youth, and told myself that I was going to turn away from Marvel for good.  (Except for Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-men, because hey, [...]

From the Stacks: Jennifer Government

I am a librarian.  I like being a librarian.  It goes beyond my natural tendency to hide from the light and bury myself in a stack of dust covers and dog-eared pages for a few hours.  Being a librarian gives me a chance to talk about books with other people.  Sadly, since I am a [...]

I’m a Raygunner Now!

At least, I’d like to think so.  I was so impressed with Pink Raygun that I had to let the crew running it know.  Lisa Fary and John Dallaire responded with a "thank you" and an invitation to write a review for them.  A chance for a nerd like me to pass up talking about [...]

That Old Time Religion

I know I sometimes tend to live under a rock.  Actually, in my case, it’s closer to a stack of books about rocks that need to be classified in the 500s of the Dewey Decimal system, but that’s neither here nor there.  I’m not exactly up to speed on the latest and hippest of internet [...]

So…Pretty…Can’t…Concentrate…

Spring has sprung here in the Queen City.  The students are all on spring break so there is nooooobody in the library where I work.  It’s quiet inside, bright and happy outside.  Seriously y’all, the weather is absolutely delish.  The flowers are in bloom, the sky is crazy blue, and the sun is in cartoon [...]

(Librarian) Avengers Assemble!

Evildoers beware!  Geek girl librarians are everwhere. Erica Olsen is one of the more entertaining "geekbrarians" out there, but there are more.  We are watching. 
Don’t mess with us geeky librarian girls, or you’ll find yourself with mysterious fines for embarrassing books.  We have other super powers that you are unaware of.  Don’t make us [...]

Those Pesky “Isms”

Bust is one of my favorite magazines ever.  If it is possible to be a fangirl to a magazine, then I’m proud to say that I’m a raving zinegirl.  It’s fun, it’s sassy, it’s chock full of well-written articles.  I can honestly say Debbie Stoller’s book taught me how to knit.  That’s right.  I [...]

Newbie Issues

Obviously, I’m tweaking the site here and there.  As much as I love purple (it is my favorite color and all), the color scheme was a little hard on the eyes.  I’m new at this weblog thing, bear with me.  I’ll be experimenting here and there as we go along, so don’t freak if the [...]

Super (Fan) Girls

Website Spotlight time!  I came across a couple that deserve the attention of any die hard (or not-so-die-hard) geek girl out there.
The first is a site run by the dynamic duo, Lisa Fary and John Dallaire.  The site is called Pink Raygun, and it is awesome.  Seriously, go there now.  I’ll wait…
Wasn’t I right?  Could [...]
