That's the sound of today whooshing past at a breakneck pace.  Mondays are always going to be busy it seems here and early shifts go by way quicker than late shifts.

There's been no time to show anyone the bristlebot that skittered into being over the weekend when Evil Lurker and I realized we had to make one.  At 9pm on Saturday.  We were lucky to ( Read more... )

Sometimes the Bunny comic frightens me.  Eek.  And eek.  And eek.

I'm on a weeding rampage.  I used to get sentimentally squeamish about deleting books from the catalog, but no more -- fear my black marker!  I'd much rather cull the herd on the shelves than talk to customers.

I can now cross WALL-E off the to-see list because I did that on Saturday ( Read more... )

This is a link to a nice article on Terry Pratchett. It's written by Neil Gaiman with images from Paul Kidby decorating the text and is a thinky little homage and summing up of Pratchett and Discworld in general.

It's the last day both working here and before the holiday weekend. I'm so mentally not here (and was almost physically not here, ( Read more... )

Summer ballet is officially begun --for two week now, but I had my first class this week.  It was an odd mixture of folks -- a girl I didn't know (new faces here -- crazy talk!), some of the usual suspects, Physical Therapist Guy and Really Socially Inept Guy (tm).  It's unusual to have more thanone  guy here so it's cool that they are there.

Don't ask me why, but when I visualize the days of the week (seven calendar-boxes in a row--they would be like ducks, except I've never seen ducks sit in a row), they each have a distinct color ( Read more... )

Go read the article below. It touches on so much that is fucked up about American education.

"We are slouching, even at elite schools, toward a glorified form of vocational training."

Poor doomed Phobos.  It should go hang out with Pluto.

I wish I could play the theremin.

I need a haircut, but having (absolutely and ablatively, hee) learned from last time, will not succumb to the urge to chop off my bangs myself.

I also need a new spine, but that might be harder to come by legally.  It's getting warmer -- joints are supposed to ( Read more... )

Curling = still fun, but painful.  Friday league may have been a mistake ( Read more... )

My layout is blue again, but a more different blue cuz I'm feeling seasonal and in need of a place-marker before returning to the norm.

I'm plotting Pratchett play plans again.  Quick take on Thanksgiving weekend.  Who's in town then?  Who's interested in a reading of Men at Arms, the sequel to the Guards! Guards! play we've read before?  There ( Read more... )

Sadly, the blue is fading from my hair, but I still have half a bottle of dye left and I'll be searching for a more permanent kind soon. The shortness of the haircut is wonderful. I love how I haven't had to use a brush or had wet hair down my back for over a week now ( Read more... )
