Annoying library things
I really dislike it when patrons expect you to remember who they are. Really really dislike it. It's not the most annoying thing, but it is annoying.
Example:
(random patron walks up to circ desk)
Patron: Alright, is the book back in yet?
Me: ...What?
Patron: You don't remember me? I came in the library 2 hours ago! How have you already forgotten? I ( Read more... ) -

Since I never post anything anyways
I'm using my livejournal instead to organize my list o' books to read. I found several lists of *Books That Can't Be Missed. Read Them Now Or Suffer The Consequences of Blatant Ignorance And Foolery.* but this one looked the most interesting. Also, it's full of contemporary fiction which is helpful, since I almost never read modern things. Well, ( Read more... ) -
Hmm, this posting idea is getting kind of addictive..
So Michael Crichton died yesterday. Which, first of all, I only figured out through an old RA's facebook status. Shameful. And with him went all hopes I had of reading another Jurassic Park book. Because two (or three?) really isn't enough. There is so much more rascaly mischief that a pack of hungry and overly intelligent velociraptors could get ( Read more... ) -

So I really can't help my fixation with weeklyworldnews. Between that and cuteoverload, it's a wonder that I can carry on rational conversations any more. Seriously, though. This article is important. If it weren't for this website, I don't know how I'd keep up to date with the news.

End of Year Survey (stolen from Jane S.)
1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
Developed an actual crush with someone I actually talk to. And who doesn't wear home-made shoes.
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I can't even remember what mine was. I think that's a bad sign. I might make another one, but I'm usually only ( Read more... ) -

Huzzah! Happy First Real Rainy Day!!!
This would be a better rainy day if it hadn't been accompanied by a sad realization. Rain has stopped my leaf-crunching fun. On my way back from French, I was engaged in my favorite past-time: walking like a drunk person in pursuit of the perfect leaf-crunch sound, when I suddenly realized that the only ( Read more... )
