Hey, if anyone knows anyone looking for an apartment, a blue comfy chair, or a printer in Montreal, let me know. I've got to get rid of these by Friday morning.

I really am sorry I didn't get into Toronto to see some of you people over break, but I came home and promptly came down with a very nasty cold that led to me spending most of the break asleep and/or coughing. I did manage to go to lunch with liquidize, though, which was lovely ( Read more... )

Yesterday in Multimedia Systems we talked about zeros and ones. In Cataloguing we talked about the naming of things and calcium. And after Archives, Mary and I went to see Andrew Bird and he was totally awesome. And played none of those songs, but lots of other awesome stuff, and he introduced A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left in what ( Read more... )

I'm back in Ontario! I was planning on staying until next Sunday, because I don't have school until the week after, but I got a job at the McGill music library and they want me to be in for training next Friday. Which means I will not be able to make it to the Lesters, alas ( Read more... )

It is spring, though it has been snowing on and off for two days now, which means summer job search time. It's hard here, I find, because everyone wants only bilingual people. I tried to convince the Concordia library to let me have an interview on the basis that I will be taking a French class in May and June, but it didn't fly. Oh well. I ( Read more... )

I have spent most of this weekend immersed in research about Nunavut, because my research proposal group is going to propose a study of public libraries in communities up there. It is a fascinating place. It is above the tree line, which means that there are no trees there! Milk can be as much as $9 a litre! There is one 12k stretch of road, ( Read more... )

Today I went to the career fair that the library school puts on every March. I have possible summer job leads with the Concordia Library music department and a hospital library, and I talked to the Toronto Public Library people who were really nice and said to give them a call when I graduate, and the Ottawa Public Library who had cool neon green ( Read more... )

So reading week was fabulous, what with a visit from my sister and then a trip to Toronto where there was much shopping and wandering and seeing people and places. I miss that city! And now there are about seven things due in the next two weeks, only three of which I've really started. That is what this weekend is for.

( One thing about Veronica Mars. )

I made a curry this evening. A real curry! With a spice mix with ginger and garlic and everything orange and red in my spice drawer. The original plan was to use the aloo gobi mix that Mom gave me, but the instructions said to let the spices heat up with the oil until they are frothy. But apparently frothy means with a few bubbles, because it ( Read more... )

Last night at work I answered my very first real reference-interview question! A little girl was looking for books with "that man with the kids," and it turned out she wanted Robert Munsch books in French. And I figured it out and I found the books, and then her mom made her put them all back. But still. I answered a reference question ( Read more... )
