These are the people in your neighborhood... er... profession...

Someone has a digital camera....


...and it's not me (much to my irritation.)

the internets are dangerous, very dangerous

Let this be a warning to all of you. I found a funny website today and wanted to share it with everyone so I went to Blogger, logged in, and posted away. I was especially pleased because I figured out how to embed a link within text. And the website I wanted to point out to all of you is pretty funny. About a 6 on a 1-10 Internet-funny scale.

So around an hour later, I was all on my way to orchestra practice and I had five minutes to kill, so I checked my email. There, amid work and Barbara emails was a brief note from Katie (tall Katie) with the subject line "ummmmmm...Deborah?" and a message asking if I really meant to post an informal entry on the HISTORY OF AMERICAN LIBRARIANSHIP CLASS BLOG that began "ooooooooh, ladies" and ended with a link to the new blog of a late eighties pop-rap star.

I freaked out, as you can imagine. I went to the CLASS BLOG and couldn't alter the entry so I freaked out some more and emailed my PROFESSOR and asked him to please excuse my unprofessional post and delete it if he could. Then, just imagining all of my classmates viewing the inadvertant post knocked some sense into me. So I went back to Blogger, logged in (my previous missing step), and deleted the post. And of course I had to go back to my email and send another message to PROF.D. asking him to ignore my previous email and telling him that the CLASS BLOG was all good. That's right, Katie, bless her little heart, saved me from complete and total academic humiliation so I would like to send all of my props to her.

Here is the link to the funny website [note the link embedded in the text]: I invite you all to stop work for some Hammer Time. I'm afraid it's not worth all of the hype detailed above.

The moral of this post is: don't be stupid. And if you are stupid, don't email your professor before you have exhausted all other options.

Social butterfly

My little brother-in-law's band has two gigs in Madison in March, so I'm taking advantage of our delightful little blog to drum up some free publicity for them. The band is called Houses in Motion, they play Talking Heads covers, and they are fabulous. And I'm not just saying that 'cause we're related!

Friday March 10- The King Club 9 PM
Saturday March 25- Cafe Montmartre 10 PM ($6 cover)

Also, will people be in town during spring break? We should do another arts & crafts night...

My welcome back to the big apple

Okay, so I walk into Vbar last night only to find that one of my very favorite bartenders is sporting some distinctly unacceptable facial hair. When I inquired as to the origin of the scraggly animal currently living on his chin, I was directed to this link: www.thisisthebeard.blogspot.com
I'm not going to lie ladies, the sheer ridiculousness of this makes me wish that we could grow facial hair in order to engage in some similarly ridiculous pissing contest.

One more time with a live link to the chickens

This should be easier than the static link on previous post.

I Kid You Not....

but "Mutant Chickens Grow Teeth" would be a great SLIS air band name if only it weren't true. At least according to the Discovery Channel.

Talent Show Entry

After beer #3 last night, Katie K. & I (with great encouragement from Caroline) discussed the possibility of forming an air band for the SLIS talent show. For some reason it doesn't sound like that good of an idea anymore, but here's the inspiration anyway:
