Ah, Public Libraries
Posted by Chiara | Category main_page
There's a post on This Is Broken that hits a little close to my heart. It's a sign that appears in the Bethel, CT public library. Bethel is next to the town I grew up in. I used to spend a lot of time in Bethel, since I worked at Loree's Kitchen, which is very close to the library. This Is Broken shows a sign that is posted in the library, pointing people to the children's area and adult videos. Um, yes. Now, having worked in Library-land for so long, I know exactly what the librarians were thinking. No, BethelBlood Simple

Well, I made it back from Big Basin. The trail kicked our butts. Big time. There were points where I had to keep reminding myself why it's fun to do trips like that. Pain is a funny thing. It hurt so much going though it. The hills just never seemed to stop. At times I felt that I was being crushed by my pack. Yet by the time we were in the car driving home, I was thinking to myself that it really wasn't that bad. Though when I went to get out of the car I was quickly remindedVictor Lombardi

YAY! I'm going camping this weekend. Going to Big Basin State Park and am going to backpack the Berry Creek Falls trail to the Sunset campsite. It's just an overnight trip - leave Saturday morning and come back on Sunday. But it should be fun. I've made this trip once before. It downpoured the entire hike back from the campsite. We were soaking (and I mean SOAKING) within the first hour of the hike. I do have a rain cover for my pack now, as well as some rain gear for me, thanks to that trip. Luckily, it's the middleThe Awakening

Someone posted this to the Weight Watchers Veggie Mailing list. It really hit a cord with me, summing up what it is I'm trying to do with my life right now. So I thought I'd share. A time comes in your life when you finally get it...when in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out enough! Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once orJapanese Story

I was feeling rather down/grumpy/tired/slightly ill this afternoon, so E suggested that I have a nice cup of tea and a sit down. This suggestion reminded me a lot of Mags (who I miss terribly), so I followed the link. While looking around the site, I found this. I don't know what they put in the water over there in them isles, but it sure did cheer me up and make me giggle.Tee Hee Hee

Apparently this is old news (I'm so behind the times, but what else is new?), but I still think it's funny. If you search on Google for "miserable failure," the number one result is for the George W. Bush biography on the White House site. Now, not only do I find this humorous, I also think it's really spiffy keen how it's happening. The BBC published an article about it back in December. Here's the gist. Part of how Google ranks results is based upon the links that are going to a page. And the link text helps determine theOn the road again, sorta

This past Saturday I went for a bike ride with E. It's been well over a year, if not two, since I've ridden a bike. Yes, I am rather embarrassed to admit that. I have a new bike. I won it in a raffle Lou had when he won top fundraiser status at the Ann Arbor EcoRide. C put it together for me, even though I said I didn't think it was good idea (seeing how he'd never done it before). Saturday was the first day I've ever ridden it. It was a perfect day for a ride. I'm painfullyHow Geek Are You?

The Geek Test is one of those things that has been on the Web for a long, long time. I've taken it before, but decided to take it again to see how things have changed. This time I scored 31.75542%, which means I'm a Total Geek. However, even though that sounds rather geeky, there are 8 levels of Geekness and Total Geek is only the 3rd. I found that since I am no longer living with a physicist and no longer have cable, I couldn't answer as many questions as I used to. Not watching Star Trek anymore and can'tMonthly Archives
