I just saw this link on one of my favorite kiddie lit blogs, A Fuse #8 Production. It's an OLD film about librarianship as a profession. Someone observed that it is important to distinguish for you young things the difference between a filmstrip (like a story told on PowerPoint) and films (more like a video.)
If I still didn't manage the technology, go to http://fusenumber8.blogspot.com/ and see for yourself.
this is for you. Katie K and I recommend "Lord of the Pounce" and "Wild Kitty". Enjoy a pint of guinness in a kilt with your favorite cat by your side.
Compliments of Slate Magazine.

The newest weapon in the War on Terror(TM) is the Flat Daddy! I only wish some of my ex-girlfriends had one...then they wouldn't have needed...

I know that I mentioned this (drunkenly) to some of you last week, but is anyone interested in doing some swing dancing at the Union on Saturday night? There is supposed to be a live band and free lessons (at 9:30, I think). I know, to some of you it might be an aged fad that went out in the late nineties, but I'm dying to get my hep cat on!
Any takers?
