Blogging Schedule

Now that I'm not in school, I feel as if I'll be posting more sporadically. Also, I watched Clueless last night so now I'm utilizing the word sporadically. So, no regular postings, just when I get random chances at work and off-nights at home. Pottertastic Tuesday will retire until the fall, unless something of note comes up.

Update from the Children's Room

"Miss, may I ask you a question? Is being a librarian really that fulfilling?"

Until Further Notice...

Pottertastic Tuesday has been moved to Wednesday due to an insane final that I put off until the last minute because I'm awesome. Goooo cataloging! not.

Updates and an Observation (not necessarily in that order)

Observation from the Homework Center in YA: Teenagers wear too much cologne. Why am I able to smell it this strongly when you aren't even standing next to the desk?

Update from the Children's Room (circa last Friday, despite posting today): Sagging pants, which were all the rage when I was in middle school, is still very in. Noted. Only, instead of having 25% of the boxer shorts exposed, that same percentage is all that remains in the pants. After asking a sixth grade male to put at least 3/4 of his butt back his pants (which I think is a very doable compromise), he proceeded to hike his pants down lower and then show me. Wonderful. This happened a few times before I told him he needed to go outside for a little while to cool off in the rain. He pretended to leave for a minute before his grand buttocks finale. For his encore, he made sure his entire butt was hanging out of his jeans before getting down on all fours and crawling down the hallway. I really don't even know how to react to that. I ended up escorting him outside, but still... I don't know how to process the fact that some kid kinda-sorta mooned me in the library. Wtf?

Once again...

Pottertastic Unshelved

Taking a bit of a break from my web searching tasks at work, I decided to catch up on some Unshelved archive material. I found a running storyline about Harry Potter, so obviously I had to post it for you on this lovely Pottertastic Tuesday.

Day One

Day Three

Day Four

Shiver me timbers!

Reference is actually worth paying attention to today. Perhaps that is because I didn't do the readings. Oh well.

My tall bookshelves they don't want none unless you got spine, hun

Perusing Bloglines this morning after finishing my paper proved to be exactly what the doctor ordered. Fuse 8 linked to Cheryl Klein's remake of a classic, with her rendition of Baby Got Book. Below is the hysterical intro and if you go to the link above you can read the remainder of the song by Sir Readsalot, which is equally genius.

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her book. It is so big. *scoff* She looks like, one of those, librarians' girlfriends. But, you know, who understands those librarians? *scoff* They only talk to her, because, she looks like a total bibliovore, 'kay? I mean, her book, is just so big. *scoff* I can't believe it's just so thick. It's like, out there. I mean - gross. Look! She's just so ... smart!
