Sometimes you get bogged down by your own career’s stereotypes. Such as when I was in Library school, and had to explain to students I met from elsewhere that: yes… it’s an education, and yes, it takes three years to get a bachelor’s and two years after that to get a master’s. And no, we… Continue reading 20 heroic librarians who save the world

Want: Car from St. Trinian’s
I enjoy my Citroën C1 – but to be honest, I really would have liked a Mini. Like this one from St. Trinian’s: Legend of Fritton’s gold. My Citroën probably has more space inside, though.
Wednesday Want: The House from Home Alone
Home Alone has become a Christmas classic in my family. The house is one of those things that seemed really magical. Not just for its interior decorations (although in the newer pictures, it doesn’t look as all as magical) but for the outside as well. The one thing I recently noticed that doesn’t really make… Continue reading Wednesday Want: The House from Home Alone

Want: Hamburger phone from Juno
Now, I don’t have a landline – but if I did, this Hamburger phone from the movie Juno looks whimsical enough that it would definitely be on my list.
Want: Cottage from The Holiday
I know this isn’t a real cottage, sadly. It was constructed for The Holiday And I know, that although it looks cozy on film – reality probably wouldn’t be as nice. (I already live with a cramped bathroom, and it’s not that great, to tell you the truth) Still, for my dream world, it looks… Continue reading Want: Cottage from The Holiday
To Kindle or not to Kindle?
Whenever I mention that I read a lot of electronic books, people tend to ask if I have a Kindle. So far, I haven’t. My iPhone, with its Stanza, Bluefire, iBooks and Kindle apps fill that particular niche well. Buying books from various vendors, and not just Amazon broadens my range of which books I… Continue reading To Kindle or not to Kindle?
