Reports of My Death Blah Blah Blah

Yeah, yeah.  I'm still alive.  Been recovering from a bit of the ick, but otherwise no worse for wear.  Decided to check into the bloggoverse, but as I'm not entirely coherent, I'll just speak in nuggets.

Unpacking sucks, but it sucks even more because I’ve been putting it off and it still won’t do itself.  At work, the students are home for awhile until summer term starts, so we’re shelf reading all this week.  For those non-librarian types, that [...]

"300" in 50 words or less:  
Spartans never retreat!  Never surrender!  Spartans laugh at the weakling Persians!  HA HA HA!  Eat spear!  Arrrgggg!  Spartans give their middle fingers to anyone who will try to make them kneel! 
Unless you’re a Spartan woman.  Then you may have to take it up the ass [...]
