Yesterday I was so very angry with major decisions made at my workplace in regards to our central finding tool (our dear, soon to be set out to pasture online catalog). Today I couldn't take the anger anymore, so I decided to do some research on %^%$#$# "next-gen" ILS to figure why somebody would do such a thing (apparently, as a librarian, ( Read more... )

Somebody asked me twice, really nicely, to blog my Doctor Who watching adventures and I slap myself in the head for not doing so from the beginning. Is it too late to start when I'm in 1977? I don't know! I waffle because 1) others have done it (and probably have done it really well) and 2) does the world really need my less than insightful ( Read more... )

I'm debating moving picking up and moving my LJ account to dreamwidth. So many reasons to do so except I have all those scrapbook hours sunk at LJ. Oh, and I just renewed my paid account there. Hmmmm, things to think about...

Continuing a fine tradition of doing the occasional hike, Spencer and I set out to climb Ellis Peak yesterday.

• Go ahead and bring every stupid cord for all the various ( Read more... )

Got back yesterday from camping and while I don't think it was the best idea to Amtrak to and from Colorado, overall it was a great, great, great time! Just like 2004, I have the crazy urge to write everything up. Not sure why, not sure if I'll even finish. But I do have 1.5 more loads of laundry to do and I'm avoiding the gym. ^__^

( Hard to believe I wrote this before posting pictures. Click here to enjoy the miracle )

Maybe later I'll even write up my adventures ^__^

Clicky the photo to see the rest!

Happy Chinese New Year (ok, a day late), everybody! You know what that means; yep, it's time for my New Year's resolutions to kick in. Ha! Since this is the year of the dragon I tried to come up with some extra awesome ones.

• Ye olde inevitable eat better, weigh less. What can I say, I think there's some sort of law requiring this one.
