Okay, first, I now have my beloved wireless router and so I have internet in my room. Which means I will probably neither leave my room nor get any work done for . . . some time. But I will learn amazing things from Wikipedia and Language Log and not-so-amazing but pleasant and happy things from McSweeney's and Pitchfork. Okay, that was just an excuse to link to my favorite internet things. And while I'm on the subject, check out Laura Veirs. Oh oh, and RJD2's newest. Have things changed. I mean, . . . not sure how I feel about this, but it kind of sounds like Badly Drawn Boy (not BDB's new stuff, though, God save us all from a fate like that).
Second, has anyone else noticed that whenever signs tell you to vote "no" on something, it's almost always on "No. 1"? Do they just put controversial things first?
Hmmm, information-seeker extraordinaire--Anyone ever told you you'd make a good librarian?
at any rate, you have been known to make this one librarian-heart quite happy :-)
by the way, i had a lovely conversation at work today with robert & laura, now in california. also, is the photo below your calendar of you? it looks like your lovely self from a distance. anyhow, happy to see you in the blogging world!
love, anna
Let me just say ... I LOVE WIRELESS!!!
