In preparation for my new position, I’ve been methodically doing bits of cleaning at my desk so that I won’t have to do it all at once when I move. I found a few sheets from an old word of the day calendar. The words are niveous, sequacious, nugatory, persiflage, and syllepsis. I’m not sure […]
My day was uber-relaxed. After a morning walk with Tim, I got back to the apartment and, in spite of my best efforts to the contrary, I ended up taking a mid-morning nap on the couch. I actually felt better afterward though, unlike my usual experience of waking up feeling like a zombie. I finished […]
Russell and I watched Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner this evening. In trying to decide what to watch, Russell read off cast lists and DVD captions to entice me. He didn’t have to go much further than “Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn” for me to say, “Oh, oh, that one!” I was NOT […]
I am very happy to report that I have just accepted the position of Metadata Specialist & Cataloger in the Indiana University Libraries Technical Services Department. This is a brand new position in the department and a promotion for me. Yes, Jen, you say, but what does the fancy title MEAN? Fam and friends, this […]
Ugh, put this off again. OK, focus Jen. Spouse Creature and I went out to partake of a carb-filled dinner this evening. We came back and I decided to take a forty minute walk in the last of the sunlight. By the time I got back from my walk, I was tired and the laundry […]
I’m going through my GoogleReader bookmarks again. Here are a few stuffs I found. Dirty Librarian Chains. There are quite a few unique-looking necklaces and bracelets (and rings and earings too). They are out of my price range but fun to look at. I like Archive, Due Date, Publication and Source Bracelet in particular but […]
I’ve been feeling off lately. There are times when it is more intense than others. Changing my diet, regulating sleep and keeping a more positive attitude have helped but I still have… moments. And then I realized what my problem was. It’s the same problem I had last year but didn’t realize it and hence, […]
Both Barnes & Noble and Borders were out of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It is back ordered at the moment, the publisher can’t keep up with demand. Ah well. B&N will give me a call when it is in, if I don’t order it online first. Yep. That’s all. As you were.
I had a good day today. I talked to family back home and then had a very nice dinner with Ann and David. Russell and I met their new mut Lexi for the first time. Initially, she was very territorial and hard to approach but a few treats and a walk around the property later […]
I found myself wondering about the Lassie TV series (1954-1973) today. It’s been ages since I’ve seen the re-runs but what I remember most was that Mrs. Martin dressed rather smartly for a farmer’s wife and that the telephone operator’s name was Jenny. Here are a few more disorganized thoughts on the show. I did […]
