Rolling Merrily Along

After the rambling/rant in the earlier post, we return to earth a little lighter than before.  I had a look at my countdown widget, in 9 days I will attend the Manitoba Library Conference.  I still have to get my ticket for the 50th Anniversary Mixer for the Library Technician program at Red River College. … Continue reading Rolling Merrily Along

Writer’s Plank

I don't have writer's block in the classic sense of the term.  For most people, writer's block implies not able to write anything, at all.  No words flow our just anxiety like a cork on a wine bottle nobody can get out, until one breaks the top of the bottle to get at some of … Continue reading Writer’s Plank

Spring Has….Sprung? (It’s Up for Debate)

No Midweek Geekiness Today.  I feel plumb tapped out for the time being...   This blog may have been quiet, but on other fronts it's not the case.  The college begins to wind its school year down. Last week it's helping students with the deeper parts of Microsoft Word, the stuff that rusts if disused, … Continue reading Spring Has….Sprung? (It’s Up for Debate)

Midweek Geekiness: Welcome Back Westeros!

How do I follow-up the emotional gut-punch called season 4 of The Walking Dead?  By trading in Kirkman's deadly pen for George R.R. Martin's even deadlier pen.  Welcome to season 4 of Game of Thrones.  I tried to put it in bold typeface, but it's safe to say any discussion of Game of Thrones will … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Welcome Back Westeros!

And Now a Word From Our Writer

I have done a bit of reblogs lately in between some sporadic writing.  Basically I have taken to the 80/20 rule as I did a bit of housekeeping, including adding a new blog to the Library Blogs/Website page. Plus I boldly stepped up my tweeting.  (Not easy for a wordy woman such as myself.)   Keep … Continue reading And Now a Word From Our Writer

Racism, Sexism, and Hannibal: Eat The Rude

Today's Midweek Geekiness comes courtesy of Hettienne Park. People feel very passionately about their television shows and their characters. In one instance, Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad wrote a New York Times Op-ed piece about the disdain some fans had for Skyler White. In Ms. Park's case race, as well as gender, proved to spark a … Continue reading Racism, Sexism, and Hannibal: Eat The Rude

A Midweek Geekiness Goes Awry

If someone told me I would hunt down a way to embed a player in a post, I would tell them they're nuts!  However, I saw this playlist of British actors from Tom Hiddleston to Richard Armitage reading selections from literature, then discovered I could embed it in a post.  Perfect Midweek Geekiness, I thought. … Continue reading A Midweek Geekiness Goes Awry

Just a Pile-of-Chocolate Kind of Day

Last winter I knew my mood takes a bit of a dip.  While I look functional, behind the scenes everything felt ten time harder to either start, do, or complete. My goal is to move this blog to a slightly bigger league.  When I am not posting, I am writing, but if I am not … Continue reading Just a Pile-of-Chocolate Kind of Day
