Stuff I've considered posting about
Feb. 4th, 2010 07:24 pmMy job and the changes therein, of course, as those of you who can read my friends-locked entries are aware. But still haven't gotten things completely nailed down yet and in print, so I'm still not posting it publicly. Because yes, I still have no idea what it is.
A musing about where the "rockin" part of my username went, because only the "librarian" part has been getting any posted attention lately ("lately" meaning "like for the past two years"). It really hasn't abandoned my personality, I just seem to only have anything to say about it while listening to the radio, in the kitchen, while doing Important Kitchen-Related Things Rather Than Being Computer-handy. And even then, all I really have to say are random comments to the effect of "Why do people honestly find Taylor Swift's songs appealing?" or the like. Whereas, if I'm on the computer, I've probably just been reading something librarian and/or bookishly related, or am even, in fact, At Work IN a library, so that's what comes out. Sorry, all you poor sods who don't care about such things.
Buying vs. Borrowing books, and how ebooks fit into all that, and all the Deep Social and Class Issues involved, although whatever I write is not likely to be deep OR heavily researched, just off the top of my head.
How I got tagged in Facebook to name my Top 10 favorite authors. I'm still trying to figure that one out. At least it's easier than trying to name my top 10 favorite books. Speaking of which...
...possibly tomorrow Fuse #8, ie my favorite librarian blog I stalk, is beginning the countdown of reader-voted Top 100 Children's Novels, and last year's Top 100 Picture Books countdown was awesome beyond belief, and I'm not nearly as excited by picture books as I am by middle grade fiction, so I am REALLY EXCITED. It's like how you normal people get really excited when your favorite TV show's new season is starting. So I thought I might share here what I emailed in as my votes, except that picking just ten turned out to be really painful (and that was JUST Middlepgrade-to-young-YA fiction, mind you, no older YA, no adult... no picture books or easy readers for that matter), so then I thought I ought to try making a list of ALL my favorite books however many that may be, but I honestly have no idea HOW many that would be, and if you would in fact no longer take me seriously when I call something One of My Favorite Books if you actually saw such a list. Also, another blogger (which I don't have a link to offhand) decided to do a countdown for Teen books then, so I voted in that one, sneaking in a few of the older-leaning titles that got cut from the first list. That's twenty books and I'm STILL NOT DONE NAMING FAVORITE BOOKS.
I was going to tell you about how Sam managed to lose the lightswitch to a lamp today, and exactly the interesting communication challenge it is to convince a 2 3/4 year old that he IS the only person who has any idea where it's gone and it really MUST be found before his sister tries to eat it (also so we can turn off the lamp), and how he nonetheless merely looks everywhere you just looked, and creatively decides to look with his toy binoculars, and repeat after you... but I did finally find it after moving some furniture around, and anyway enough time has passed that I now forget what was so interesting about this event to begin with.
I may have in fact had more ideas to write about, but I forget them now.
Do any of these ideas sound interesting to you? Hello? Audience out there?
Also, there's a cake in the break room. I want some cake.
