I cried buckets!

Posted by: J on: January 24, 2009

Well maybe it wasn’t buckets, but Marley and Me was such a sweet movie that I couldn’t help shed a few tears…especially towards the end. I also laughed a lot because some of it was so familiar. Like the part with the drywall eating. We had a dog who did that once!
I [...]

Why you can't find a library book in your search engine
"Despite the internet's origins as an academic network, when it comes to finding a book, e-commerce rules. Put any book title into your favourite search engine, and the hits will be dominated by commercial sites run by retailers, publishers, even authors. But even with your [...]

White Christmas

Another one of my favorites. I try to watch this movie every year during the holiday season.

Posted by: J on: October 5, 2008

I can tell it’s past time for my weekly recharge of DH and dogs. I had to work this weekend. Usually I’d take Thursday and Friday off, but I decided not to go back on Thursday since I had a meeting and was planning to attend a conference in Wichita on Friday. [...]

Everyone’s all abuzz

Posted by: J on: August 29, 2008

Sarah Palin is McCain’s VP pick. Not unhappy with the choice. And that’s all I have to say about it.
Being tired after a busy week at work, I don’t feel like talking about politics. So, I’m not going to.
I will talk about this rather odd movie I watched last night, Unholy. [...]

Lant and oogy

Posted by: J on: August 16, 2008

Thanks to the local Redbox, I watched four movies this week that I hadn’t seen yet.
The Other Boyelan Girl – I must say this was a waste of a dollar. The book was long, but whoever did the adaptation for the film really didn’t get it. So much was left out that the [...]

Almost over

Posted by: J on: July 27, 2008

I’ve got that vacation-is-almost-over depression setting in. A bit worse than the usual Sunday depression since I’ve had a wonderful week at home with DH and the dogs (and other house guests as well.)
The next several days are going to be very busy. I still have to finish preparing for my presentation at [...]

Wednesday in my life

Posted by: J on: July 16, 2008

As I’ve been working on this meme, I’m realizing how incredibly boring my work probably seems to an outside, non-library type. In the summers, it can even be that way sometimes for us reference librarians.
We have had a busier days here and there during the past few months, but generally, things are fairly quiet [...]

Saturday…

Posted by: J on: July 12, 2008

We went to see Journey to the Center of the Earth today. Guess it was fairly entertaining and we got 3D glasses because it was in 3D. So, you know, you needed the glasses. But I don’t know if it was really worth non-matinee prices.
Tuesday night I’m going to see Hancock with [...]
