Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste is a truly terrible movie. But terrible in that special, lovable way. There are a lot of guts in the movie but not nearly as much blood as Dead Alive. Pictured here, an alien eats the remains of one of his fallen alien comrades. With a spoon! Genius.

So, I’m a little into anything Zombie-related these days. What can I say?

1959 Chevrolet Bel Air Vs. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu IIHS Offset

I’ve become pretty accustomed to people saying negative things about GM. So when I first saw the title of this video I thought the Bel Air would crush the Malibu but I was wrong! It’s still pretty interesting and intense. I’m certainly glad that windshields don’t fly out of cars anymore.

Subject headings are applied to all books in libraries to help people find books on a topic. My current favorite heading is “Aardvark — Drama.” Turns out this mostly includes Arthur books.

Another change in my life

Because Norton wouldn’t let me download Firefox, I am now a Chrome user. I feel like a little like a Lando (or Judas) but we’ll see how it goes.

I’m trading in “Six Feet Under” marathons for employment

For the past two years I have been claiming that I am a librarian (sometimes I say “information professional”). But today that became actually true as I began my first Post-MSIS job. Say hello to the newest part-time Librarian I for Round Rock Public Library. Victory!

I have my own desk and badge so I’m totes legit now.

It’s like housewifery …

but without kids or a husband. Or a house.

I have joined the ranks of the underemployed. I’m swimming, nay, drowning in time. But rather than letting my life become The Feminine Mystique (or reading it), I vow to do productive things. Here’s a sample list of my goals and my actual output:

Goal: learn to play guitar

Reality: I now know how to play 3 chords (5 if you count “easy C” and “easy G)

Goal: learn Spanish

Reality: I now own a Spanish/English Dictionary

Goal: cook a lot of healthy meals

Reality: last week I made some beans that were both undercooked and under-seasoned.

I’m clearly well on my way. My next goal is to actually use the domain that I purchased. Crazier things have happened.

This is not the best picture of me ever but it was taken in Guatemala. How beautiful is everything behind me?

Nerding Out

I just explained the difference between an address bar and a search field to a patron at the library. It seems simple enough. But it was strangely satisfying. She was so grateful! I like this. I have hope for the future.
