So busy, oh mah lawd so busy.

The Art Show was fun, it always is, but a lot of my friends showed up to support me and that always feels nice. I stood back and got to watch as complete strangers scoped out and complimented my photo amongst their friends. I made sure to ninjacam a woman (for proof and stuff).

My neighbor Tannis (who asked me to ( Read more... )

It's unbelievable how quickly this year is passing me by. In terms of how much I've read (or how little), I keep saying to myself the same things I said at the beginning of the year, "I've still got time, I've just been in a slump for a couple weeks." Then I realize that it's actually been a couple of months... then I realize it's pretty much been ( Read more... )

September was insanely busy for me. I do hope October is much calmer and less eventful, but it's looking to be about the same.

There were a number of events that I participated in, at my library and with Bridge to Books. I took photos for all of them and have uploaded them in various places (facebook, flickr, etc). I met a lot of really great ( Read more... )

In this post, I mentioned the ¡Ban This! event that my library had been planning for a couple of months. In case you don't remember it's a reading/signing of the book ¡Ban This!: The BSP Anthology of Xican@ Literature which was a collabtorative effort by 39 different contributors as a response to Arizona's dismantling of the Mexican-American ( Read more... )

There's been a lot going on, so I'm probably going to split these updates into two posts.

This post shall be dedicated to epic upcoming events that I'll be going to.

August 28
My friend Alethea had an extra ticket to The Adventures of Pete and Pete reunion at the Orpheum, so she sold me the ticket. The creators, actors and the band Polaris, who ( Read more... )

I recently started using my library's Pinterest page. We have a few boards, but one of which is just for crafts and ideas that I like and hope to eventually use for the library. It hasn't much convinced me to get my own pinterest, but I've found a lot of really great ideas.

This past week I had been looking around on the site for ideas that our YA ( Read more... )

I've been really, incredibly lazy about blogging lately. Partly due to my attempts to catch up on all my reading, which hasn't really been effective.

A group of friends and I went to see The Dark Knight Rises midnight showing last week. I enjoyed it, but my favorite will always be the previous movie, Dark Knight. Anne Hathaway was an impressive ( Read more... )

I've been getting more and more responsibilities at work. I mentioned a couple of times that I've been calling companies to try and get promotional merchandise for movies and books related to whatever upcoming programs we might be having. Then there have been the giveaways, which I've been in charge of for the most part. Recently my boss let me ( Read more... )

This past weekend Roxy and I (as well as most of the YABC) went to the Annual American Library Association conference in Anaheim.
Friday night was the Dr Who/Steampunk ALA Play event that I briefly mentioned in my previous post. Because I went into the event with such high expectations, it came off as underwhelming. There were only a handful of ( Read more... )

I may have mentioned before about contacting publishing and production companies and asking for merchandise to use at the library. After finding the correct person to email at Summit entertainment, I was sent thirty Twilight posters... good lord. We're using them to help promote the library on the internet by having random giveaways until the ( Read more... )
