Neil Gaiman on alphabetizing books

While looking at this and that on YouTube, I found this clip of author Neil Gaiman at a convention answering the old "Where do you get your ideas?" question.

The interesting thing to me is that about a minute in he starts talking about alphabetizing his books as a kid, and how by the time he was seven he was agonizing over such issues as whether books by Roger Lancelyn Green should go under "L" or "G".

Sound familiar, anyone? Does it in fact sound EXACTLY LIKE YOUR OWN CHILDHOOD? Because it sure sounds like mine!

This makes me think that either Neil Gaiman has missed his true calling as a manbrarian, or that I should have become a bestselling author adored by 17 year old girls who wear black all the time. (Sound familiar, anyone? Does it in fact sound EXACTLY LIKE YOUR JUNIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL? Because it sure sounds like mine!)

Speaking of librarians and wearing black all the time, I've got another YouTube clip as a sort of lagniappe for this post:

Ninja Librarian!

Check it out archivists, librarians totally kicked your ass this time around.

This is dead on!

I never have read a more apt description of a librarian:

"Librarians can often be seen reading for recreation. Some enjoy sniffing book spines to ascertain the age of books in a competition known as "Guess how old this is." Master librarians can even smell a book's ISBN. (This skill prevents librarians from enjoying the delicate art of kitten huffing.) They also frequently knit, play scrabble, and do crossword puzzles when they're not out rampaging with their motorcycle gangs and getting awesome tattoos."

Woo-hoo!

My stuff is on Skull-a-day!

Problem sovled!

Is this still the SLIS Procrastination Blog? Or, the Blog Formerly Known as the SLIS Procrastination Blog?

Just to start a discussion, the title of this blog is a bit misleading as all of the posters are now practicing procrastination at some other location. I don't have a good title to offer up at this time, but perhaps a new title is in order. Also, the Rejection Letter count is a bit outdated. Just some thoughts.
