Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyways
It’s been… a week at work. One of those weeks where, when you tell your non-librarian friends about the things that happened, their eyes get big, their jaws hang open, and they vow never again to tell people that libraries are boring places. And tomorrow, it’s mine (and half the staff’s) Saturday to work. It [...]
One afternoon on Twitter, about a month ago, I posted that I was making up a summer playlist – something that I could listen to while cruising about the city, with the windows rolled down and the stereo cranked. Several people offered some good suggestions, most of which I can’t find 1. Here’s what I [...]
The nice thing about posting at the end of the day is that you can reflect on the events of the day, and draw on what you’ve learned or noticed or observed to add to your post. Or, maybe you’ve got something important to say, and you want to make sure you say it with [...]
Last night, I mentioned that I should do a post about ebooks. Not only because I have opinions – about ebooks and everything in general – but also because my experience with them might be useful to you 1 A few weeks ago, a friend and former library school classmate posted about acquiring a Kobo [...]

I was all ready to do a post about my long weekend, this past weekend, and my new haircut, complete with pictures. However, after an hour and a half of intense negotiation between my camera, my laptop, and the eleventy-million programs on said laptop with which to download and edit pictures, I’m throwing in the [...]
Not long after I came up with my list of cookery-type things I wanted to make this year, I decided that I would start with the item that triggered the whole list: raspberry white chocolate scones. Oddly, it wasn’t easy to find a recipe, and I wasn’t confident enough to wing it. Eventually, I found [...]
Okay, it looks like I wasn’t on the ball about getting this up sooner, but the honest truth is that I was trying to avoid the crush of New Year’s posts from all the other blogs you read 1. This way, you’re still in the New Year frame of mind, but aren’t sick to death [...]
Yeah yeah yeah. It’s been a while. Tell me about it. Anyways, a few weeks back on a day off, I went to the gym for a run [1] in the middle of the day. Usually, if I don’t go in the evening after work, I go in the mornings. The evening crowd consists mostly [...]
