library two point oh

What is weird about Renaissance Festivals is that it's an event attended almost exclusively by BIG NERDS. Its purpose may be to illustrate that that things weren't so great back then. No electricity!?! Mud?!? Torture Devices?!?!? JUGGLERS?!?!?!?!
And then there was this guy:




DANIEL, DUKE OF DANGER. He was pretty awesome, especially his corny jokes which revolved around the theme of What Happens When You Drop Out of College.

What they definitely did not have in that backward time of jousts and wenches was LIBRARY 2.0. (Did they have libraries back then? Did people know how to read? )

Thing #14 reminded me a lot of library school, and the many, many articles we had to read about vague concepts. Basically, it's a broad topic, but here are my thoughts in a nutshell: I think it's very cool that a lot of libraries are trying so hard to stay modern and relevant, and that there a lot of non-library folk who have no idea that libraries are so hip.

There you have it.

Everyone else posted a picture of "delicious" food when they blogged about del.icio.us, so there's mine. The most delicious food ever.

And here is my del.icio.us.

So I just created another account that will probably end up like my Friendster account: Forgotten and unused, out in Internet world. But, unlike Friendster (I used to love my Friendsters), I cannot think of a single reason to use Twitter. I don't care what you are doing RIGHT NOW (or ten minutes ago, for that matter) and I don't care for you to know what I am doing.
This is the one and, hopefully, only "Thing" that made me feel old (those darn kids and their Twitter!)
Here's my account, and my two Tweets.

Librarything vs. GoodReads

Having GoodReads makes me feel like I will never be one of those old ladies at the library who can't figure out which books they already read, so checkout like 25 to make sure they get at least one new one. ("Can you tell me every single thing I checked out EVER?")

LibraryThing seems like the same thing, except I think maybe, if I ever have time, I can use it to catalog all the books I own, which would be fun, but will probably never happen.

So here it is so far.

The Generator Blog was cool, in theory, but I had to fish through so many bad links I was more annoyed than amused.

The only time I really spend perusing the internet is at the checkout station at that other library I work at (Not CML!) when it's slow. Basically, what I read on there is what my friends read. Like, when someone sends me a link from a blog or somesuch place, I'll say to myself, "Wow, this website seems kinda cool, maybe I'll look at it more often." So these are the websites that are on my Bloglines account, which should be called, Stuff My Friends With Good Taste Look at on the Internet That I Have Started to Read Also.
I find this a way more effective way of finding good things to read than any of the search tools.

There it is. Don't judge me by what I look at on the internet!

Evil Dead: The Musical

Evil Dead: The Musical on the BIG SCREEN!

"Producer Don Carmody (CHICAGO, LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN, the ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 remake) is negotiating with Sam Raimi to bring the Canadian originated, now off-Broadway production EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL to the big screen...in 3-D no less!
Featuring songs such as “I’m Not A Killer” and “Look Who’s Evil Now”, the stage version featured an audience-participation area known as the “splatter zone”

I saw this musical in Canada back in May, and it was the single best night I have ever spent at the theatre. It was so over-the-top ridiculous; some other songs not mentioned in the blurb above include "Do the Necronomicon" and "What the %&$^ was that?!" I can't remember ever laughing so hard during a musical. However, one of the biggest draws is the "Splatter Zone", the first two or three rows of seats where you are guarenteed to get stage blood on you, and are encouraged to wear a white t-shirt to take home as a souvenir. A fun part of the experience is the anticipation of being "Splattered."

Before 3D became digital, I always liked the concept, but could never really enjoy the movies because I couldn't see the 3D (you know, with those blue-and-red lensed glasses) I could tell what it was supposed to look like, but would just see two one-dimensional pictures blurred together. Not sure what the deal is with that, but my sister has the same problem.

BUT with digital 3D technology, I have no problem. They just need to figure out a way to include the splattering....

(like at MGM studios in Disneyworld, they have a 3D Muppet Movie, where, at one point, Fozzie uses one of those joke lapel flowers to spray the audience....and then everyone really gets sprayed! Wokka Wokka Wokka!)

So this is pretty yellow on the Flickr Color Finder. I also made a Flickr Chia Pet out of a Vampire Baby, and did one of those Mosaics (which don't come out very good, do they?).
