I have another five-hour break this semester. =/ And since it's only the second day...I have NOTHING to do. Blaaaaah. So here's a thing I stole from somewhere: Total comments: 2288 1 arktoi 677 2 sadistic_apollo 136 3 feytaline 92 4 bleedingviolets 62 5 mintymuffins 62 6 avenger272 58 7 ...

1. Gave presentation. They liked it so much, they want me back next spring to do a five-week series . *dies delightfully dead* 2. Tried very hard not to be an arrogant snot about this. It's challenging sometimes. There's still a small, vicious part of me ranting, "See? I'm cute, and smart, and funny, and talented. So fucking there ." We're adjusting her meds. *headdesk* 3. Laughed ass off...

Finally, the return of memes. Gacked from el_jefe59 1. What color is your toothbrush? A vague, metallic, translucent green-gray hue. 2. Name one person that made you smile today? The neighbor who was walking her dog when I went out to get the newspaper. 3, What were you doing at 8 am this morning? Something private. *smiles* 4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago? Boxing up stuff in...

1) Am besotted with spring evening skies. That such blues exist, and that I can seem them, pays for lots. 2) Reading: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . Man vs. society. Society wins, but man puts up a helluva fight. Easy to see why this is a 20th-century classic. 3) Also reading: Catullus, in translation. w00t! 4) And also reading: Warrior Politics , Kaplan. 5) Am amused-fond of how some...

Minus the urgency, smoke and flames, library science is quite a bit like fighting fires. You sit around a lot until you're needed. Then, when you are needed, it's usually complicated and labor-intensive, because before the patron came over to you, s/he spend boatloads of time trawling the internetz. An obscure Italian artist occupied most of my time yesterday; we didn't have the catalog raisonne...

In the midst of my endless quest to get rid of things, I found some homemade cassettes from a former beau. Practicality always triumphing over sentiment, I skipped over to WorldCat to see if I could ILL the CDs from somewhere; my hopes weren't all that high, because I figured maybe four people had ever heard of the band, and yet...I was wrong! If nobody will do the ILL, I can actually purchase...

From sunrise to sunset, the snow fell down on Metropolis, and oh, was it ever glorious. Swaddled up and lit out for the main thoroughfare to do some errands. By the time I made it to my first stop, I was covered in snow, and utterly delighted to be so. The one way street at the top of my lane, with the gates of the end, looked especially Narnian, and I sincerely expected a faun to skip out from...

1) Nothing like a shift in perspective. Have been working on a drawing, vexed because could not get it quite right. And then, this morning, suddenly I saw. Nice. 2) Number of times listened to "Red Carpet Massacre" since burning it into itunes = 24. It feels like many, many more. That song's like armor. 3) Even after a lifetime of treading the boards, giving presentations makes me nervous as...
