Hi folks. It's been awhile, mostly because I had the flu last week and the week before and OH MY GOSH... wait, never mind. I keep forgetting it's only the beginning of February, because I'm planning library events for the end of February, and keep forgetting my events in the middle of February haven't happened yet. Even though it should be fresh in ( Read more... )

These two. I posted those surveys and now they're finding surveys all over the place. This survey doesn't go into anything really earth-shattering, so I intended simply to reply with my answers in a comment to one of their posts. Except it wouldn't work. So I'm putting it here instead. Sorry if you find it utterly dull.

( cut for long survey full of questions that seem to be aimed at people several decades younger than me )

I have made a lot of progress with One Book this week, so it's time to take a break and mess around on the Internet. And TWO PEOPLE posted SURVEYS yesterday. What timing! Anymore YEARS can go by without those surveys, those surveys I was so addicted to once. I think they happen a lot on Tumblr anymore, but as I've said, Tumblr bewilders me ( Read more... )

So right as I post my big long thing about music ...yesterday? Yes it was just yesterday, vovat posted one of them thar survey-meme-type things on the subject of, you know, MUSIC. And I SAID I'd say more on the topic, and I MISS taking surveys, so hey, perfect timing, here you go:

List 10 random musical artists you like in no specific order. Warning: ( Read more... )

Yay, surveys! via colliemommie:

1. Favourite childhood book?
My favorite childhood book is my favorite book ever of course, A Wrinkle In Time, which I promise you you are going to get SO sick of hearing about from me next year, or else you're going to totally enjoy it in a whole new way through my ramblings. Oh yes, I have grand plans for the Year of the ( Read more... )

Well, here I am again with a collection of bits to post because you miss me and so I must post something. Well, I will pretend you have missed me. It hasn't been PARTICULARLY long, but it feels like it a bit. I've had a lot less computer time this past week and a half-- it's amazing how much computer stuff I accomplish while on reference desk. This ( Read more... )

So I'd also like to do some decade-wide roundups before we move on from the roundups. (I like roundups!) Now, some might argue that a new decade doesn't start until NEXT year and all, but it's still ten years since MOST people were doing decade (century/millennium) round-ups so we'll go by that count, for one thing. And for another thing it's been ( Read more... )

Lots of the questions are dumb for me, true, but what's a turning of the year without the annual year-in-review survey ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ( Read more... )
