Brother can you spare a hood?

Two years ago I thought I was being sensible by not purchasing Master's graduation regalia that I'd never wear again. Turns out that at my current job I'm supposed to attend the graduation ceremony every year...in full regalia. Which I don't own. Gah.

I'm getting the cap and gown off eBay but am not sure I'll be able to get a hood in the proper UW/Library Science colors before graduation. I know some of you own them, so would anyone be willing to lend theirs to me? I know it's inconvenient because you'll have to mail it, but I'll pay you for your shipping expenses.

ALA 2009: Chicago

I just got the latest issue of American Libraries in the mail the other day, with the preliminary program for ALA 2009. Who all is planning on going? I figure the Wisconsin contingent should be well represented.

I've been saving my pennies and I think I'll be able to make the trip, as long as I can find a decent flight. I've got plenty of vacation time coming to me.

Happy 800th!

Leia's last post was #800 for us. We deserve a procrastination award for that for sure!

Gone with the Wind for Wii

A nice little book and tech related cartoon.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Sounds like the most amazing book...ever.

good thing this lady isn't following my tweets

Apparently some people use Twitter for something other than a "negative-energy release board." Who knew? This lady quit some of her Twitter friends because: "They complain too much for me." How is that even possible?

Anyway, now I know about Qwitter, so if any of you bitches stop following my rage posts I will be notified immediately. And then I will post about the ensuing anger. Bring it.

damn! it feels good to be a democrat.

Equal pay for equal work, bitches!
