Weekend Plans?

I have to work this Sunday. Bummer.  Still, I have Saturday off, which will be taken up with family plans. (Dinner with the ‘rents, UFC Fight Night with my sweetie, brothers, and friends.)  This means that I have to pack in my fun time when I can.  What’s the plan for tonight?  Dance Dance [...]

Unshelved

This is why I love Unshelved.  One tiny little four-panel strip pretty much sums up my philosophy on being a librarian:

Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum put together just about the funniest comic you’ll ever read about working in a public library (and maybe the only one.)  It’s funny because so much of it is [...]

Sorkin, Whedon, TV & Comics

I hope I can get back into writing this weekend, now that I’m getting some of my focus back.  I’ve been stressing out about some things at work lately, and it seems I’m starting to get a handle on most of it, thank goodness.  Plus, I’m feeling all "girl power" today after watching a fantastic [...]

Totally Scatterbrained

Ever have one of those days where you’re just plain loopy as hell?  Today seems to be one of those days for me.  I keep forgetting things, keep dropping things (like food on my pants–arg!), and good lord, do I sound like a spaz on the phone.  Anyway, if you talk to me and I’m [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day 2008

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!  And no whining from the single people about how it sucks and wah wah wah.  I so don’t want to hear your negativity.  Go eat some chocolate and rent a spooky horror flick or something.  (What?  That’s how I celebrated V-Day when I was single!  It made me very happy!)  Since [...]

Does it Make Me Nerdy…?

Does it make me geeky, nay downright nerdy, that I think this is a cool blog?  I don’t care.  I think catalogers have superpowers.  I know I’m supposed to know this stuff, and I swear, I wish I had a better understanding of the finer points of Dewey, but when it comes to the details, [...]

Writer’s Jitters

Random thought for the day.  I have a story idea in my head that I’m afraid to write.  It’s dark and weird and kinda icky, but it’s a subject I’m fascinated by.  I’m semi-inspired by the re-launch of Weird Tales Magazine, so take a gander at some of those stories if you like weird [...]

Vocabulary: Xerotic

Realized I haven’t done one of these in months.  They amuse me, so here you go.  For all of you dealing with the winter itchies:

Xerotic (xe·rot·ic) (z-rtk) (adjective) – 1.  Dry. 2.  Affected with or characterized by xerosis.

Public Service Announcement – The Ick

People, if you know you have the Ick, the Crud, the Croup, the Itis, or any other creepy crawly sick that can spread, please stay at home instead of bringing it to work.  This is the second time in a month I’ve had to stay home because of some random monkey-bird-hippo flu that’s been going [...]
