This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

If I ever see you again, I'll totally feel you up.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So Nicole didn't even get dinner and a movie?

Nope.

I got it like that. t snap

Aaaand...now I'm near tears. Corner Bakery didn't make our lunch order because I didn't call to confirm. I faxed hem the order and I've never had to confirm before. I put our phone number on it, my name, the pick up time - just like always. And they didn't make the freaking order. So now I've got 40 people pissed off. Not at me, but still. I know I shouldn't be this upset over something I didn't really do, but it bugs.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Aimee , you do more things by accident...

NONE can surpass El Dorkalina!!!

What is even happening?

Oooooh. Dork fight! Dork fight! Pretty soon, they'll whip off their glasses. Well, they'll try, but the duct tape holding the frames together will get stuck in their hair, so the specs will just sort of hang in their faces, occasionally poking them in their eyes.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Aimee, your tag is strangely appropriate, considering your actions today.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ginger, I'm glad your mom's a bit better. I hope you can get up there and figure out what's going on with her care next week.

Three hours and $125 dollars later, I finally have some anti-viral meds and I hope they help. I'm composing a letter to my doctor to discuss my displeasure at how this whole scenario played out. And shopping for a new practice.

What happened, Cashmere? Would the on-call doc not take your call?

I'm glad you've gotten the medicine. I hope it works extra well on you and that this is just another little, non-lethal duck nibble. Are you still feeling about the same?

Google Book Search report status: 1317 words down, 1700 to go. I got some clarification on it in class yesterday. Basically the argument isn't "Google Book Search changes everything," but "automatic indexing (ala Google) is sufficient and means that traditional library cataloging is unnecessary." If you're wondering about my position, here's a little tidbit from my paper:

Marcum goes on to contrast the “multiple organization layers” of library online catalogs versus the immediate results that are returned using Google. Marcum feels that quick results are more important to users than precise results that require some work from the user. This is the key issue in my mind of the differences between automatic indexing (Google) and manual indexing (traditional cataloging). Without having those multiple organization layers, users can’t browse collections. If users can’t browse collections, they may never discover resources that meet their needs. They may never connect with keywords that would help to refine their search results. That Marcum views these organization layers as barriers to information seekers reveals a level of misunderstanding that is astounding for someone who holds the position of Associate Librarian for Library Services at the Library of Congress.

Feel free to post your throughts!
