Icelandic libraries
Since I'm now a student of Library & Information Sciences (for all of you who didn't know), I thought this was a particularly interesting & amusing bit of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth:
In the first place M. Fridrikssen wanted to know what success my uncle had had at the library ( Read more... ) -
this looks amazing...
...on so many levels.
As Liz Lemon would say, "I want to go to there."
I am seriously considering doing a masters of library & information sciences in good old Austin...I love that city. -
qwerty
Any mention of QWERTY always brings to mind 1) learning about that in the 5th grade (even though I'd been typing Mavis Beacon-style since I was 7 or 8), and 2) these stickers my sisters & I used to have with a little creature on it named, of course, Qwerty (what he had to do with keyboards, I have no clue ( Read more... ) -
i am Google's whore

quiet night
I stayed in yesterday evening and ended up watching two movies, because I was getting some serious knitting done and didn't want to put it down. Weirdly, both of the movies were about people without their licenses, which I definitely didn't plan. I just chose License to Drive (I'd never seen that before now! such a classic Corey/Corey movie) and ( Read more... ) -

* "I'm a lefty, get used to it." - Obama, upon signing his first official act as President. I love that they bantered about being left-handed for quite some time! That was great ( Read more... ) -
january 20 commentary
Just some of the thoughts currently running through my head as I watch the inauguration:
* Okay, what is with Bill Clinton?? He looks like he is having the absolute worst time ever. He used to be so good at appearing jolly and smiling all the time. It makes me so sad. I wonder what is wrong ( Read more... )
