luciabThe good thing about writing papers is that you always learn something. I know! Who would have thought of such a thing?
I'm starting to look for information about library systems with a "strong central library" as opposed to having all regional and branch libraries. Damn, there are some fine central libraries out there. Reminds me why I thought this was a good idea to begin with. Unfortunately (sorta) I have NO desire to live in Minneapolis. I mean, Kentucky is too cold for this little hothouse flower. I'd freeze my petals off in Minneapolis. Of course, Portland looks like a good one, too. And Seattle. And dozens more, I'm sure.
And I did one bit of homework already but I admit it was the entertaining one-- I had to look at NoveList to find 5 or 6 books I want to read. Boy howdy, now there is a challenge. I did go for some variety, though, putting in Sabriel by Garth Nix, Sharyn McCrumb's Ballad series, and The Time Traveler's Wife, among others, as books that I liked. I did turn up some new possibilities, including Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire. I liked his Wicked and its companion book, whose name I can't recall this minute. I'm also kinda looking forward to trying "Skulls of Sedona" which I described in my notes as "New Age meets Bimbos of the Death Sun." Heh.
I have a meeting with my advisor at 5 to talk about the possibility of a practicum in book repair at UNC. That'd be fun. I hope he doesn't tell me it has to be related to my major track or something. Which I could do, and it would be more obviously helpful, but this... this just sounds like fun.
For some reason, Tuneless Boy has been drawn to the realm of falsetto singing lately. Not sure what that's about. Whatever. It's most unfortunate.
