Exercise opportunity

Would you be interested in playing IM soccer? My friend Andrew (a Chemistry PhD student) organizes a co-ed team and said, "we are desperate for women." (They had 5 but lost 2 due to scheduling problems - need 3 on the field at a time because it is 7 v 7.)

According to Andrew, "We are a for-fun team, and have a variety of skill levels on the team. We play on Tuesdays at 6:30 [p.m.]" on the University Bay Fields (out by Picnic Point and the Waisman Center).

(I don't think they're will be a game next week, though, since that's July 4th.)

Holla at me if you're interested so I can get you connected with Andrew and his Chem buddies. (Maybe a good chance to meet some non-SLIS guys in addition to getting a workout??) I'm thinking about playing despite being ridiculously out of shape and relatively clueless about soccer strategy, and I'd love to have some more of my favorite bitches come and play with me!

I heart Adam Felber

Axl Rose = America. Not as crazy as it initially sounds!

noooooooooo! part deux

Enough! I have had it up-to-here with the skinny jean craze! They are impractical, unflattering and overall, just plain ridiculous. Hear that, United Kingdom? Stop trying to infiltrate our street fashion! Clothing retailers--it's time for you to rally against the ugly! No more skinnies on your shelves, please!

I can't take it any more! I encountered a sight on my walk home from work yesterday that no one should have to endure. Picture it: two hipster boys in vintage indie rock t-shirts and shaggy hair--okay so far, but you have to look out for what the Fugs have termed "the scroll down." I noticed that the hipsters' gait was kind of funny, so I scrolled down to see one of the biggest fashion mistakes ever: low-slung skinny jeans. The jeans were skinny--skin-tight skinny-mini--and these misguided wannabe rocksters were both sporting the jean waists at mid-ass level! More than half of their underwear was visible! The weirdest and worst hip-hop-slash-hipster street style I've ever encountered. And it wasn't just an aesthetic faux-pas! The combination of tight and low worked to constrict their leg movements, causing the hipsters to WADDLE. Like ducks. Or penguins, if you're into that. It was awful and probably dangerous, either way you look at it.

Please, dear readers, just say no to the skinny. Before someone gets hurt.

Article on ALA convention in New Orleans

I found this article online and thought it was pretty nice (except for the box blocking the text at the top that I couldn't make go away).

Camping

I think we unofficially decided on July 22nd as our summer camping weekend but I wanted to check and see if that still worked for people. I also wanted to mention that I have a camper that can sleep 6 comfortably. So any takers for another SLIS camping trip?

Bronze Book Cart

Our team took third place (and won the wee bronze book cart) at the championship.

The grand prize went to the team from Tulane, and they earned it. And I don't mean that in a pitying "Oh, that poor team from New Orleans" way. They were really good.
