In Between Days
The quiet rut that is my life has been most comfortable of late. I have no clue what I've even done in the last two weeks.
I know what I haven't done - that bottle of Cristal is STILL in my refrigerator. Three weeks and counting?!!! I know - I can't believe it myself. I fully planned on drinking it over the weekend, but the gin got in the way.
I will be wrinkly someday, yes. And so will my liver.
In the meantime, I'm reading books! Who knew? I read this one a couple weeks ago:
I think it can only be truly appreciated by librarians. I found it laugh out loud funny, although from some of the random comments I've seen online others haven't found it as amusing. Nor do they consider Borchert a "librarian". I have plenty to say about that, as I am part of the group that firmly believes that an MLS does not a librarian make. I'm sure that most para-professionals in the public library could run circles around me, and I'm sure that they know a hell of a lot more about Reader's Advisory than I ever will. So yes, I consider them my peers just as much as anyone who spent the time and money for a piece of paper.
I still like my piece of paper, and the extra letters after my name. I just saw the proof for my new business card and being one of two employees with letters after her name ROCKS SOCKS.
And I started this one yesterday...many thanks to Miss NPW for putting this on her Goodreads list:
I'm 75 pages into it and captivated.

Yay! It's really an amazing story, isn't it? Wait till you get to the parts about the Prophet...
the best part about reading other librarian's blogs is getting good book suggestions. i'm gonna put both of them on my (dangerously long) to-read list.
can i suggest the Unshelved graphic novels? http://www.unshelved.com/store.aspx they are hysterical. so grab your cristal and go crazy - librarianship has never been better.
