Camping -- anyone?

So, a few weeks ago I planted a seed for a camping trip, but only got one comment. True, I was waxing poetic and fishing, but the apathy people...come on! So, this time I'm going to provide some more details, for consideration.

What: Camping Trip
When: July/August weekend (TBD)
Where: Mill Bluff State Park (Camp Douglas, WI)(approx. 1.5 hrs northwest of Madison)
Why: Because I haven't seen my old library buddies

If anyone has a preference for dates please let me know. Thank you and have a nice day!

Walk in the Woods (not the book)

So, I'm walking in the woods last weekend, and thinking how nice the solitary life is (read lonely), and I'm walking by empty campsite after empty campsite, and I say to myself (since there is no one else to talk to) that these campsites must be enjoying the solitary life as well, but then I have a sudden epiphany (not my second cousin) that there used to be a rowdy bunch of people, who, shushed people for a living, that were actually onced shushed by Ranger Bob, and the thought occurred to me that perhaps, just perhaps, someday, some how, some way, that group could be brought back together, reunited as it were, to bring information to the very trees, upon which a lifetime of information is written and then distributed to the masses, if only this were possible, then as suddenly as the thought came, it dissipated with the forest mist, and I continued upon the path alone.

This is so wrong, but somehow so right

Also, in case anyone missed the top 25 songs of 2007, here they are, distilled into 1 five minute chunk of awesomeness. Happy New Year!

More podcasts

Sound opinions
ReSound
Filmspotting
The Story (haven't actually listened to this one much, but the program descriptions sound interesting)
Radio Lab (new season starts in 2008, but the archived shows are great)

(Can you tell it's been a long, boring day?)

Blog CPR

So here's a few things that I'm sharing mostly to see if anyone's still reading:

Play a game and help the world

My favorite Friday addiction

What Perez Hilton strives to do, but doesn't quite manage (aka my favorite nasty blogger)

For Future Happy Hours...

If you haven't seen this yet, check out this amazing link from Sconnie Nation listing all the drink specials (by day!) around our great city of Madison. Great for all the broke, tightwad librarians, manbrarians and archivists still here.

Is anyone familiar with "cat macros?"

Sorry, I know, two posts in under 20 minutes, I should be doing something productive, blah blah blah....

So, anyway, I think some of us know about cat macros with their particular brand of "catois." But with us librarians being so cool and all, I was thrilled to see lolbrarians!

cause the unemployed don't get no respect

and spend way too much time on the internets...

Bocci in the park

There was talk of bocci ball in Wingra park, is anyone still interested playing this week?
