I've been doing some thinking lately on what my list of top ten books (all time) would be.  A patron had put me on the spot with that question a few weeks ago, and I realized that I'd have to think on it - I couldn't just answer off the top of my head.  I know the list has changed a bit since the last time I formulated it, and I'm sure it will ( Read more... )

I've been invited to see Scott Pilgrim tomorrow night and I haven't finished the books.  Eek!

That's what I get for trusting in inter-library loan.  Oh well.

I probably should get some Glee LJ icons...

ANYWAY!

I cannot get the Glee version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" out of my head, complete with full-on replays of the scene in Ballet Club (hee!) where I decided I'm just plain in love with Jonathan Groff (and that I want to find that Newsweek critic and smack him upside the head).  Seriously though, ( Read more... )

Why in the name of all that is righteous and holy would you call my small local library to see if an item that was placed on hold with SOMEONE ELSE'S WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY library card has arrived?!?  Libraries are not magic, no matter how much they may seem to be so.  (Wow, that was a tortured sentence construction!)  I have absolutely no way of ( Read more... )

Sometimes I just plain love my job.  An example:  today, I got to utter the sentence "Actually, I believe the giant snail is when he goes to the moon." and have it be both the answer to a question AND a true statement.

Libraries rule!

Who knew that wishing could get you anything?

As I was typing my last entry, it turns out that my brother had, in fact, come home.

I am happy.  (still waiting on the coffee though)

I wish I had a damn cup of coffee because I'm cold and tired and it is BORING in the library today ( Read more... )
