a superior me

Your Rising Sign is Virgo

Well put-together and elegant, you sometimes seem standoffish.
And truth be told, sometimes you do feel superior to those around you.

A bit shy and introverted, you tend to stay quiet - even if you're feeling social.
At parties, you can seem like you're very serious while you're having fun.

You clever and ingenious, with an alert and active mind.
Good at facts and figures, you excel at logical and mathematical tasks.

Team Bush vs. MySpace

The newest front in the Team Bush crusade against information and thought:

Social-Networking Sites (aka Operation Die-MySpace-Die)

Go read it for yourself. This is so absurd, it really should be self-explanatory and self-incriminating. Congressmembers might need to read it twice.

Ok, it's there. Not much in the way of stories yet, but I put the major points on the timeline, so now I'll go back and flesh them out. Mmm.

my life, your life, dandelife

So, I've found something new and fun:

It seems to go down a lot, but interesting nonetheless. Once I get it to work right I'll post a link to mine.

Playground atrocities once more

So Israeli warplanes have bombed and essentially destroyed the Palestinian Foreign Ministry building. In addition to running amok in Lebanon.

What on earth is wrong with these people? What makes them think that this sort of behavior will result in anyone wanting to negotiate or compromise with them?

Never mind, they don't think that, they're not stupid. They just know they can get away with it, and are confident that the rest of the world will continue to accept absurd excuses for their violent outbursts.

Children like this are called bullies. Sometimes these children can't get away with it. But we hold certain nations and the adults who control them to much lower standards of social interaction.

JFK?

You Are Most Like John F. Kennedy

You live a fairy tale life that most people envy.
And while you may have a few dark secrets, few people know them.

That's me!

Found this on Flickr. That's me in the purple. This was during a library paraprofessionals workshop day at St Petersburg College in May.

The much-anticipated go-live of iBorrow, our new interlibrary loan system, is now pushed back to 6/19/2006. Should be interesting..

Mmmm coffeee

Not exactly surprising. I spend half my time at a coffee shop on the beach. A coffee shop that's also an ice cream shop and bookstore. And Frank works there, an added plus..

You Are an Espresso

At your best, you are: straight shooting, ambitious, and energetic

At your worst, you are: anxious and high strung

You drink coffee when: anytime you're not sleeping

Your caffeine addiction level: high

Works for me

You Should Travel to Cambodia

While you might not go all Angelina Jolie and adopt a baby...
You can still appreciate Cambodia's rich history and deserted beaches.

Gumbo, po-boys, and water lines

I just got back from New Orleans on Thursday. I was there for a week attending the American Library Association's Annual Conference, the city's first major convention since Katrina. I got to volunteer with the New Orleans Public Library, see several old friends (from my high school days in New Orleans), and see some of Hurricane Katrina's damage 10 months later. It was horrifying to see the damage, but I was truly amazed at the positive, hopeful spirits of New Orleanians. The city will bounce back and be better than ever, this is very clear...

Olives mmm..

You Are A Martini

You are the kind of drinker who appreciates a nice hard drink.
And for you, only quality alcohol. You don't waste your time on the cheap stuff.
Obviously, you're usually found with a martini in your hand. But sometimes you mix it up with a gin and tonic.
And you'd never, ever consider one of those flavored martinis. They're hardly a drink!
