ALA, Going to
via A Librarian’s Guide to Etiquette by J on 7/9/09
Don’t feel guilty about spending your library’s money to travel to ALA. It is the one time of year when your colleagues and staff actually get to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the library without you in it. Everyone will agree that that is money well spent.

Not Your Mama’s Pregnancy
via Awful Library Books by hhibner on 7/2/09
Moving Through Pregnancy
Bing
1975
Well, almost my mama’s pregnancy. Talk about a dated pregnancy book! My favorite passage:
Look at that vaccuum! No wonder Judith was worried about her posture. These days we have upright machines that are lighter weight. Heck, buy the woman a Roomba! And, by the way, who vaccuums their house dressed to the nines like Judith?

it’s the little things June 30, 2009
it’s things like this that keep me going. things that really matter, the tiny tiny moments. i trolled my flickr to look for one of those moments, and this is the first that came up. but i love it none the less.
go read the monitor mix blog. it’s a great ode to showing music that we love it…

just read it.
logic will break your heart, over and over and over. June 27, 2009
i used to listen to logic will break your heart a lot. it was the soundtrack of about a year or two (or three) of my life. i loved it. then it moved into this spot where, when i was feeling extraordinarily down, i could listen to LWBYH and i would feel better, transplanted to anywhere else, it just cleared all the mess out. i’d hear the opening of lola and immediately breath differently, more relaxed. by love and death i’d be elsewhere totally.
after a particularly annoying day, i put it on, hoping the same would happen. alas, i’ve worn out the ability of LWBYH to save my soul. i need to find the new mood adjuster album for me. i’m totally baffled as to what i could be. or maybe LWBYH is simply having an off day.
June 27, 2009
it’s been a really long time since i’ve been in the house by myself. it’s really sad, to be honest. it’s amazing how a year and something later, it still hits you at the weirdest times. seeing my dad’s writing on something slays me. i can’t even imagine how it makes others feel. blech.
still sick. totally ready for a nap.
