Tag, You’re It

Experienced Tweeters know to use hashtags to make it easier for others to follow a specific topic. A hashtag might be used for a general topic, such as #TV or #haiku. Professionals often hashtag conferences such as #ALAMW09 (American Library Association Midwinter Meeting 2009). I’ve seen a few professors encourage their students to get accounts [...]

In which She Cleans Up

In preparation for my new position, I’ve been methodically doing bits of cleaning at my desk so that I won’t have to do it all at once when I move. I found a few sheets from an old word of the day calendar. The words are niveous, sequacious, nugatory, persiflage, and syllepsis. I’m not sure [...]

Human? Or…

My day was uber-relaxed. After a morning walk with Tim, I got back to the apartment and, in spite of my best efforts to the contrary, I ended up taking a mid-morning nap on the couch.

They are out of my price range but fun to look at. I like Archive, Due Date, Publication and Source Bracelet in particular but [...]

Note to Self

I’ve been feeling off lately. There are times when it is more intense than others. Changing my diet, regulating sleep and keeping a more positive attitude have helped but I still have… moments. And then I realized what my problem was. It’s the same problem I had last year but didn’t realize it and hence, [...]

No Zombies for Me

Both Barnes & Noble and Borders were out of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It is back ordered at the moment, the publisher can’t keep up with demand. Ah well. B&N will give me a call when it is in, if I don’t order it online first. Yep. That’s all. As you were.
