Librarian Trading Cards

Wednesday, October 29th, 2003

Someone borrowing my computer today saw the trading card that came with the librarian action figure and asked me when I was going to have my own card. I said first I’d have to figure out what to put on it. He then played with my action figure for about ten minutes.
Why not [...]

Public Library Comic Strip

Tuesday, October 28th, 2003

Someone posted something about “Unshelved,” a comic strip about public library employees, on one of the e-mail discussion lists I’m on. It’s published online, distributed via an e-mail list, and has an RSS-feed. Since my blog needs a comic strip, I’m posting about it and aggregating it.
Are there other comics with RSS-feeds?

Thursday’s (10/30) Blog Meeting

Tuesday, October 28th, 2003

Well, I haven’t thought about the agenda beyond introductions yet, but I have thought of the restaurant suggestion: Boca Grande. Last week people seemed interested in a place that offered good food at inexpensive prices and a place with a counter where they could order their own food. One regular who doesn’t like [...]

Action Figure Accessories

Monday, October 27th, 2003

I gave a friend a librarian action figure for her birthday. Another friend of ours and I had talked about pooling money to get her something really special. When he found out I had given her the action figure, he asked if there were any accessories or companion dolls for it. I said that I [...]

Stereotype-breaking Once Again

Sunday, October 26th, 2003

I went to a party last night and ran into a friend of mine whom I hadn’t seen in years. She’s an elementary school teacher now. The two of us were the first people on the dance floor–and often the only people on the dance floor. Granted, the DJ was very lame, [...]

I Want It on the Record That

Saturday, October 25th, 2003

I read about 1/4 of the latest Harry Potter yesterday. I read at least one book a month (or try hard to read at least one book a month) for the Mystery Book Group I’m in. It’s not that I don’t like to read, it’s that I don’t have or make the time to read.
I [...]

Je’, you can come to my office anytime … but be forewarned that not every day is a prom here …

Harvard Stadium Anniversary

Thursday, October 23rd, 2003

People often ask me what I do ’cause I have such a funky (notice that “funky” begins with “fun”) job, so here’s another example. I attended many planning meetings for this special Web and Gazette project. Today’s paper Gazette has a special 8-page pull out section about the stadium. (Most of that is in the [...]
