College football starts today! I heart this season like nobody else. It's my favorite time of year.

Thank goodness I have my husband to talk to about this. Not exactly a hot topic with the PTA crowd.

49 and 50. More public records books. I forgot their titles and already turned them in.
I had all these books on ILL and they all came in at the same time. I am very glad to be done with them so I can dive into a little fiction.

51. The Memory Keeper's Daughter - by Kim Edwards
Doctor delivers his own twins in 1964. One of them has Down's Syndrome, so ( Read more... )

Dammit, gmail work already! This "server error" message shit (going on 45 minutes now) is really fucking with my day. Somebody sent me an attachment for a meeting and I need it!

47. Naked in Cyberspace - by Carole A. Lane
Though the title sounds like pr0n, it's really a book about finding personal information on the Internet. This one had a lot of helpful lihks. I put holds on all these research books at the library and they all came in at the same time. I'm ready for some fiction.

You know it's hot when my cat--who has an evening pee ritual where he marks every square inch of the back yard--doesn't even want to go outside.

44. Get the Facts on Anyone - by Dennis King
This is another book I got from the library in an attempt to improve my public records research skillz. It is filled with links and references, and wasn't as dated as I thought it would be.

I have no outrage over the broken LJ yesterday. But if your entire Internet operation depends on a continuous power supply in a single city that's prone to earthquakes and steriod abusing baseball players, then it's time to rethink your business plan.

42. Super Searchers on Madison Avenue - by Grace Avellana Villamora
Special library types really can't go wrong with any book in the Super Searcher series. I'm not in the advertising field, so I didn't get as many research tips as I do with other Super Searcher books, but the reading was still interesting.
