Cold Weather and Random Thoughts

So…cold…
I guess nature is trying to prepare me for my Denver trip next week.  30 degrees!  Brrrrr!  Nothing much to add today, other to provide you with some random thoughts.  Why?  I don't have (nor do I see myself getting) a Twitter account, and I'm killing time until someone can decide whether or not they [...]

Back on the Chain Gang

Happy new year, everyone!  2008 was kind of a crazy year, but I'm looking forward to some good things in 2009.  Keep your fingers crossed for me, anyway.  Not much to catch up on except that today is the first day back to work after two weeks off for Winter Break.  I had a lovely [...]

Annoyed Librarian

No, not me, although the title does often fit.  I mean the Annoyed Librarian, the blogger.  How have I missed this little gem for so long?  Finally, a librarian is even more irritable and complainy than I am!  The Annoyed Librarian says all of the things I mutter under my breath (or vent to my co-workers), [...]

Going Darkside

A co-worker of mine sent me this article recently.  After reading it, I've officially decided that I simply give up fighting the good fight when it comes to education.  I'm going darkside.  Darth Trickster, that's me.  After this, I just think there's no point anymore.  Not really. 
Term Paper Mill
Of course, if I still cared [...]

FreeLit, Comics Edition

Okay, so I pointed out some of my favorite places to get my read on for free.  I failed to point out places where you can read comics for free online.  I’d be here all day if I listed every webcomic I ever heard of, so I’ll just point out some of my favorites.
FreakAngels – [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Firefly Forest

I’ve been keeping an eye on The Firefly Forest site on and off for awhile now.  The pictures are lovely, and it makes me miss living in Arizona something fierce.  It’s run by a nice lady by the name of T. Beth Kinsey, who was very gracious when I complimented her website back in [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
