Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I socialized with people I don't know!

FTW!

I dragged myself out of bed for an early morning conference call* during which I said two sentences that repeated what I'd already said in email. Why was I even there?

  • okay, it's not a lie, but it's not true either. It was 9am, I was still in bed playing with the cats, and I made the call on my cell. Then I dragged myself out of bed. I can get up at 5am or 9am, but in the hours between I sleep sounder than at any other time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Did I mention that a new cat showed up in the neighborhood? About a week ago. Anyhoo much speculating by my daughter that she might get to have another cat, but I was pretty sure that our neighbors wanted to keep her if she showed up again. Well, turns out she did and so they did and I have to say, that's one happy cat.

I have to grade today. Oh joy, NOT.

Between the fog and the smog, we can no longer see the bottom of the hill my office sits on. This is expected to hang on for another week. It'll be good to be in Vegas.

Does it look like you're floating in the clouds in a magic flying castle?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

One day, on the way to the grocery, I saw something that cheered me up. Run your car over a speed bump too fast and - eureka! - flying car!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Chris Christie: LOSER.

We're starting to offer chat reference service at our library. This is great. (It was mt idea!) But I keep geting emails from people talking about the chat "cue". The word you are looking for is "queue," people. Also, aren't you LIBRARIANS!?

More like stranded in a Stephen King-esque hellscape in an ugly post-modern glass box with too many nooks and weird hallways for zombies to hide in.

I miss our old building, it was open spaces and marble floors and pseudo-Grecian columns and a cool waterfall in the lobby. This is cheap carpets and drywall and "architecturally interesting" features.

Ugh, Connie. I hate modern office buildings. Fucking Bauhaus.

I take it you dislike the guy, Tom?
