I want to write about this, but I'm sunburned and tired. And really, what is there to say?

11:11 Volunteer page just brought down the last stack of nonfiction for weeding review. There's light at the end of the tunnel!

12:06 Sometimes when weeding there's a book I REALLY want to keep but doubt the statistics will support, but it turns out to be a hot title! Whew!

16:58 Super productive Saturday duty - 4 1/2 of 5 projects DONE! Now to go home, have a glass of wine, & wrap brain around the idea of "weekend."

12:39 *sigh* Long Walk To Freedom: last checkout, 3/1999. Sometimes you just have to say "fuck the circs."

14:18 Just. Adore. the photo on the cover of "A Pirate Looks at Fifty." That's a man I'd love to share a beer with before I die.

15:21 Whew, change of pace - from mad-full-steam-ahead weeding/re-cat at library to browsing feeds while waiting for photos to print at museum.

16:49 Second orange poppyseed cake on Tastespotting in than a week. Thanks, I get the hint, I must try this. is.gd/QCR

16:54 *swoons* all the interesting sorbets and ices on Tastespotting & Foodgawker today... this may get made this weekend. is.gd/QD0

13:38 Mailbox zero! Hurrah!

13:49 Showing my co-worker Twitter from both update end and what feeds on various sites look like.

13:55 How to link back to a page on my own blog? tinyurl.com/6yeyvd

14:39 Hrm. Lots of libraries using Twitter but having a hard time finding one with a widget on a website, making it rather hard to prove my point.

14:56 However, awesome how many librarians/library students/knitters/fiber artists I'm finding.

11:30 Weeding is amusing, & patrons are more complicated than we assume. Two of our heavy-circing cookbooks: is.gd/Ona and is.gd/Onb

18:05 ILL ordering - suitably rote so that I can pay attention.

19:02 Still processing the various links/tools mentioned in the teleconference. Whoa. Putting all of this to use will keep me busy for a bit.

15:48 Researching space rental rates for art centers. It would be nice if more places put their rate cards online!

20:15 Dinner: divine. 1 lb chicken, 2 lb mushrooms, 1/2 c fresh basil, 1/4 lb butter, 1 qt heavy cream, 1/2 c flour. Over pasta, with wine. *purr*
