Mar. 26th, 2010 08:34 amI am RARELY on the internet anymore, so I thought I'd do a sort of catch-all update:
- We have adopted Turkey, the backyard kitty. She had an infected wound on her tail that clearly needed treatment and if I'm going to take her to the vet, there's no way I'm going to put her back out in the elements to get in more kitty tussles. Mine! Poor thing also has a cold, so she's all SNEEZE-SNEEZE-SNEEZE. She is pretty precious anyhow.
- I'm asking the county to pay for me to attend the annual ALA conference in Washington, D.C. this June. They most likely will. I'm so tempted by all the special events they have for queer and YA literature. However, those cost extra, and I'll probably be expected to go for the patron services related stuff instead, since I'm still in circulation, not reference. Exciting anyway! Toni Morrison is one of the keynote speakers.
- Delaware, and really all of the northeast USA, feels stale to me. My parents are here, and my brother, and a job that has served me well, but I am so eager to move south. This summer I will be both city-scouting and job-hunting. My lease is up in September. This is a year of change, I can feel it.
- Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Have you read it? Hilarity. Next for me: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, then Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.
- My brother has convinced me to accompany him to the Steampunk World's Fair in Piscataway, NJ in May. Oh my goodness.
