Well, I remember back about a year and a half ago, when I decided to go into librarianship I was reading all of this stuff that sounded real good to me about how large portions of the profession were about to retire and thus leave a bunch of jobs open for us incoming librarians. However, the job market doesn't seem to be opening up to the degree ( Read more... )

I seriously have been doing happy dances of various and sundry kinds for the past half an hour because I just got the news that I've gotten an on-campus interview for this next Wednesday. This is my first campus interview after almost eight months of application so I am quite excited about it. The only thing I need to do now is prepare a ( Read more... )

I just got back from P.F. Chang's and indulged myself in part of a Great Wall of Chocolate, and it reminded me of the post-refund-check get-together that we had where two Great Walls of Chocolate were ordered, along with some other desserts. That was both ridiculous and a lot of fun ( Read more... )

I actually had a pretty good night last night, I worked out, watched a Stephen Chow movie and got to sleep pretty easily. And then I had a dream about one of my ex-girlfriends--wherein whatever problem she had with me was a misunderstanding and everything was great again. Thus the shitty feeling when I woke to realize it was just a dream and ( Read more... )

Well, according to a letter I got from Emmet O'Neal Library on Friday, I won't be working there part-time after all. It wasn't really suprising as I made some catastrophic mistakes in the interview. That, plus my obvious lack of reader's advisory potential (i.e. I don't read) made it a long shot. Oh well. More time for screwing around here and ( Read more... )

House of Flying Daggers is awesome. Now, granted, I'm an aficionado of those types of movies, but it's just such a beautiful, heart-rending movie that I can't help but gush about it. The most striking part to me was the last fight sequence which was so raw and brutal as opposed to the more artful and stylized fighting that takes place in the rest ( Read more... )

I'd love for someone to explain to me why my body felt it necessary to wake up after three hours, because I honestly have no idea.

I guess I'll be taking a nice long nap around 2 pm.

Most of the time I am unbelievably slothful, but today I actually had a fit of activity. I cleaned up my bedroom, including changing the sheets, hanging up clothes, and (shock!) vacuuming. For no other reason than that I was tired of how it looked in there. I also went to Sam's Club and got myself some stuff to make my computer set up much ( Read more... )

So, I just got back from seeing Revenge of the Sith. A very well done movie, with a lot of the emotional content handled way better than expected, and, for the most part, much less awkwardly than the other movies. There were a lot of good things about it, but one of the good things is that it ties some of the loose ends together very nicely, and ( Read more... )

Well, thanks to the generosity of others (and my own propensity for spending money at the moment), I have been able to acquire a great deal of new music in the past couple of weeks, much of which will probably not get listened to for a while thanks to the sheer volume of it. Despite this fact, however, I have an insatiable hunger to buy more of ( Read more... )
