I read a lot of library blogs by librarians, but Reader's Salon represents an entire library system. The contributor all work for the Winnipeg Public Library system, with each voice as unique as the selected topics . Why call it a 'salon'? Isn't that for hairdressers? you ask. Actually, a salon once meant as Merriam-Webster … Continue reading Blog Spotlight: Readers’ Salon
Midweek Geekiness: Bringing Home The Avengers and Writing Outside the Blog
Unless someone lives under a rock, The Avengers came out on DVD yesterday. I decided to purchase the DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack with plans to purchase a Blu-Ray player next month. The gag reels and other extra goodies remain in the Blu-Ray disc, but I have a Joss Whedon commentary on the DVD side. Fine by … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Bringing Home The Avengers and Writing Outside the Blog
Holy Cow! How Did That Happen?!
Every blogger takes a peek at their stats and number of followers on WordPress. Yes, every one including the ones claiming 'Pfft! Not me.' I don't know how the heck this happened, but I jumped from 130 to 237. Hooray! To those now following me welcome and thank you. To those earlier followers continued gratitude for your support. … Continue reading Holy Cow! How Did That Happen?!
Midweek Geekiness: Hobbits, Kobos, and Book Launches Oh My!
Nothing makes me giddy like a Bieber fan than a new Hobbit trailer: The voice majestically talking about loyalty and a willing heart belongs to actor Richard Armitage. In the movie he plays Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the dwarf company trying to take back their home. For a little while longer, he's a best-kept … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hobbits, Kobos, and Book Launches Oh My!
A Nearly-Missed Milestone
I sat down to my WordPress dashboard to decide between working away on a draft post, or starting a new one. Hey, said the little voice, how long have we been at this? I did a check and made the following discovery: I pretty much kept this going for one year. Remember, this whole things … Continue reading A Nearly-Missed Milestone
Drifting Off to La-La Land
When the oral surgeon's office ran down the list of thing I needed to know, having someone with me for twelve hours AFTER the implant surgery left me confused. My mom agreed to spend the night just in case, and I did the usual fast to get ready. I got in, signed my consent form, … Continue reading Drifting Off to La-La Land
Every so often something comes along to make you laugh out loud, yet at the same time say 'amen sister.' This is one of those times. Thank you M for the heads up about this post. Mind you I am more of a Richard Armitage girl than a Benedict Cumberbatch groupie. No matter what … Continue reading
Busted Bicuspids and Boston Bank Robbers
Since the last episode of As The Broken Bicuspid Turns, I had a temporary filling put in to await my September 14th surgery. It's a simple plan, really, to wait to get the tooth out then put in the implant. As fast as someone can say 'Bob's Your Uncle' I get a new tooth screwed … Continue reading Busted Bicuspids and Boston Bank Robbers
Midweek Geekiness: An Unusual Bourne Legacy Review
Let's begin with the end in mind. The credits rolled on The Bourne Legacy and R, a good friend of mind, noticed her ring slipped off and fell to the ground. Her ring, in fact, is a thin, silver ring going with two other thin, silver rings. It's one of those loose, puzzle sorts of … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: An Unusual Bourne Legacy Review
The Journey of the Unlikely Clinic Instructor Continues
Last week I returned from my running clinic with a bounce in my step. I put my key into the door and had an epiphany: My sense of fun started to come back. I met a lot of people fixated on speed. One got on my case for running the same pace all the time. … Continue reading The Journey of the Unlikely Clinic Instructor Continues
