Home inspection day! Waiting for the typed up report, but just minor things that a quick visit from an electrician should take care of, I think. Tomorrow I must deal with insurance. No progress on the spring semester schedule debacle. Last…

Day three in the life

This is definitely not the typical week of a library student. (Not that I know what a typical week looks like. I just know that this ain’t it.) Today started out with a field trip for school (my first and…
Day 2 in the life

That’s it. I’m dropping out. Today’s day was interrupted by a wholly pointless meeting with our department chair. Working backwards through the story, I wish he had just returned my email suggesting the meeting with a “yep, you’re screwed, no…

It’s round two of Hack Library School Day in the Life. And what a week it promises to be. But first, my crazy fish: That’s Dagger. Nose-down in his plant. Now, back to relevant stuff. Today is Monday, which means…

I live less than 3/4 of a mile from the West End branch of the D.C. Public Library. This week’s cover story in the Washington City Paper is about Ralph Nader’s quest to stop the redevelopment of the land on…
2013 Reading update, part I-lost-count
by dcdotnerd • • 0 Comments
Lots of Jewish holidays means lots of time for reading for fun. And my public library‘s fantastic holds system allowed me to have three of my four remaining 2013 books for the last two weeks (along with the have-to-read-before-the-last-book-on-the-list book).…
2013 Reading update

Shana tova! The beginning of the Jewish year (and of the school year) reminded me that I had 1. not made very much progress on my 2013 reading list, and 2. not written about some of the books from the…
