I was sitting in class this morning and right when Lokman started talking about using google to do a citation study a parade of guys start walking up to the SLIS building. This is something to notice because SLIS is almost completely void of men. All the girls in class took double takes...too funny. It didn't hurt that they were all vaguely ( Read more... )

I finished reading Lady Oracle a few days ago and have been thinking about it ever since. I was actually at mass today and sat the whole time thinking about that book. I wrote a little about it at my other blog ( Read more... )

This is my last summer in Bloomington (well, its my first really, but my last as a student...you get what I mean) I should be living it up. But instead, I fall asleep at ten and stay in on friday to work on a paper on the checklist method. Yep the same method that caused a throwdown with Mary Anne, the future librarian that will make small ( Read more... )

Last night I was so tired that Kathleen had to convince me to stay up till nine before I could even try to go to bed. Why am I so tired? Its not like I'm out digging ditches or anything. Last night GZ and I were talking and he tells me about his friend who has a sweet apartment in NYC, 2 girlfriends and a job at Maxim. Then he says something ( Read more... )

So I'm online, downloading articles about Puerto Rico for my boss and all of a sudden ProQuest just shuts down and refuses to reload. I like the fact that the screen says "you didn't do anything, this is an internal error." Well that's all well and good ProQuest, but what am I supposed to do for the next three hours ( Read more... )

Day two of Buffalo. I'm about to jump in the shower and meet nana and auntie ros for lunch. Yesterday George and I were coming back from the park and a dark SUV-like car swerved up. George thought it was a drive by, it turned out to be my uncle mike who asked George if he was felling better (from when he was sick in january) george said yes and ( Read more... )

I've been kind of blue today. So what do I do? Listen to Jennifer Lopez. While I'd like to identify with a less diva-ish Latina (even Eva Longoria talks about immigrant rights). I can't deny JLo, or as Pinkisthenewblog calls her, La Diva Latina. Bursar Trouble? Skin Cancer? Stressful finals? Bah! Jennifer Lopez would never sit around and feel ( Read more... )

I'M GOING TO BUFFALO ON MAY 1ST!!!!

No offence to Bloomington, but I need to get out of here, if only for a little while. As far away from the Wells library as I possibly can.

And I need some lovin.

I really need to work harder so that I can get all of my stuff done. Monday is my phone interview with the NYPL. I've wanted to work there since high school, so its kind of a big deal. From what I gathered from John, it doesn't seem like a very intense process, but I worry anyway, probably because I want it so much ( Read more... )
