I’ve so done this! It never occurred to me to snap pictures though. Here’s one I composed from a few of the books that are awaiting cataloging. Of the fifty or so books at my desk, about 2/3 are in foreign languages and about half of the English language books are very subject specific. As […]
It’s that time of year again! Today marks the autumnal equinox, which in my mind means many things: Layers! sweaters, cord coats, scarves…Pumpkin hunting (miss you Mom, Dad, Jes)Long rides in the woods (miss that too!)Apple ciderBanned books Oh yes, Banned Books Week begins September 27th. Head over to your library’s website and place a […]
I’ve been floundering for a few days now debating on whether or not to post about McCain’s VP choice. I feel sickened, insulted and a little hopeless. I don’t even feel like posting in full anymore. Instead, I’ll point to some posts of interest. Why I feel insulted.This and this are why I feel sickened. […]
In a flurry of happenings this weekend, I didn’t get a chance to post about Saturday. I finally saw the Indianapolis Zoo, which was quite enjoyable. Tim and I were there when the gates opened, so we had the run of the place. We encountered some quirky emus. One seemed to think that a map […]
I finished Breaking Dawn on Wednesday; days later, I still don’t know what to think about it. I’m conflicted. I look forward to Sara finishing it, so that I have someone to discuss it with. On a brighter note- WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS TONIGHT!
I got 500 pages into Breaking Dawn before going to bed last night. So far… sigh. I suppose I can’t make a full assessment until I’m through. Even then, I’m not sure I want to post it here for awhile, since there are probably a lot of people who don’t want anything spoiled for them […]
Apparently, the changes Phantom Regiment made to their show were well received by judges (and from all accounts, by the fans too). Current standings (bound to change) list the top 5 as: PR, Blue Devils, The Cavaliers, Carolina Crown and The Cadets. When thinking about posting this morning at the bus stop, I began to […]
I’m past the whiny phase of being sick, so it’s probably safe to post again. The flu completely kicked my arse this week. I woke up Saturday feeling fine and by Sunday morning I couldn’t move or eat without being sick. The sinus pressure in my face was so bad that my teeth were throbbing. […]
For those who want a discount on books: I got an email from Borders this morning urging me to visit the newly revamped borders.com (they broke off from amazon awhile back). They’ve increased the graphics (it’s a broadband world), made use of bookshelf browse (same idea as LibraryThing only prettier), and put more of their […]
Dear Tom, Why do you do this to me? I wish to read all of your Wessex novels unabridged, truly I do, but you have made it exceedingly difficult to get through Far from the Madding Crowd. It would be one thing if you were one of those verbose authors, typical of 19th century, but […]
