Radio Radio

Still up to my eyeballs in Choice cards.  Ugh.  Even though book shopping is currently my favorite part of being a librarian, it’s still making my eyes cross a little. Currently, I’m taking a little break in order to inform my hordes of raging fans (all 4 or 5 of you, for all the [...]

Hug Your Librarian Today

I’m taking a break from my collection development (a.k.a. "book shopping for my library"), so I decided to share some time with my online friends.  That would be y’all, in case you were wondering.  In any case, I’m a bit stuck on a particular set of books, so I’m going to bore you with a [...]

You Know, We Do This in Real Life Too…

So my friend Paris has a blog.  You remember me talking about Paris.  He has this cool indy comic called  After, and runs a comic label called Memetic Press.  Paris and I have known each other since college, and though I love the guy to pieces, we argue a lot.   A lot.  We’ve been arguing, [...]

I Need an Editor

I really do need an editor.  I’m trying to get back into the writing thing, but it’s hard to gain perspective on it.  I don’t really have anyone to read my work and give me a thoughtful analysis of plot, structure, characterization, and–let’s face it–spelling and grammar.  I used to think I could edit my [...]

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Life has a cruel sort of humor about it sometimes.  On the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a family member of ours was diagnosed with breast cancer.  It seems impolite to discuss people I know on a blog without their permission, so I’m just going to call her Aunt B.  If you [...]

Chicks and Comics Part III

So, I was randomly scanning through When Fangirls Attack yesterday (a fun site to flip through when you’re bored, by the way), and came across this little gem that I just had to share with my comic book loving friends.  It seems this clever, clever fangirl, Bellatrys, has deciced to put her paintbrush where her [...]
