Ack!
It's finally happened! This blog was actually linked to, and now the charging hordes of readers from one blog to another will know that I am a slacker!
Today's Weather: Hot! Thanks, Tropical Storm Cristobal, for making it so lovely and humid here.
Song going through my head: Honestly? I woke up with some bad 90's technopop in my head.

Okay, so I rarely post here anymore. However, somebody tagged me with this little thing, and the results were so appropriate that I had no choice but to share. I don't think anybody reads this who's known me long enough and well enough to know just how funny this is, but just in case...

Camp Kittamaqund news
This is an effort to reach as many alumnae of Girl Scout Camp Kittamaqund in Burgess, VA as possible. The Council's Board of Directors has made a decision to sell the property at Kittamaqund. We are creating a movement to voice opposition to the decision in an organized fashion. I am circulating a letter as noted below. If you have a connection to camp, please forward this message to all you know who have a similar connection. We need our voice to be unified and strong. Thanks.
------------------
Please pass along to anyone you know regarding CK...
We are starting to organize a possible resistance move to the sale. A MySpace page - www.myspace.com/campkitty - has been set up as a first step and central communication point. We have plans to expand the web presence so that any alumnae searching for Camp Kittamaqund on the web will be directed first to a central location with the most up-to-date information. There is also an e-mail address - campkitty@gmail.com, that can be used to contact us.
It is important that any reaction to the Board of Directors' decision be organized and based in fact rather than emotions. We are already working to determine what the possible courses of action might be - whether it involves a possible blocking of the decision or an outpouring of support from generations of Kitty campers and staff.
The emotions surrounding this issue are bound to run high - believe me, I understand. With more than 18 years' experience at Kitty, I am as devastated as one can possibly imagine. However, anything less than an organized movement will surely result in even more devastating results. We must take the high road here. We must maintain our Promise to show respect for ourselves and others through our words and actions.
At the same time, I imagine that everybody wants to know what they can do. My first suggestion - write a letter. Not a protest letter lambasting council for their decision, not a letter threatening drastic action if the decision is carried. A letter stating your personal ties to Camp Kittamaqund. Say what the camp has meant to you during your time there and why it's important to you. Our most striking feature is our love of the place. The only thing we truly have to offer is our shared experience of life in that magical setting.
My next suggestion, get everyone you're in contact with who has a connection to Kitty to do the same. Several hundred girls and women each summer for 35 years plus countless troop campers and leaders during the off-season equals a huge humber of women who can make an inpact now.
Send one copy to Mechanicsville, addressed to the Council President, and send another to me at the address below. I'll keep a collection of all that I receive, which can be a powerful tool as well as a separate record.
I have created a mailing list for all interested parties. If you would like to be added to this list, please send a message with "subscribe" as the subject line to campkitty@gmail.com . Again, please forward this message to anyone you're in touch with who has a connection to Kittamaqund.
I will pass on any additional information as soon as I can. Thanks for your support.

disgruntled.
In the interest of making blogging a habit again...
I've been browsing the web for things to do in Columbus, should I find myself with spare time. I was remembering my last visit to that city with KAK to visit KJP. KAK's dad recalled fondly a restaurant called the Kahiki, a Polynesian tiki-type place that he had visited in the 1960's. He said that we should locate this magical place and eat there, if it still existed. We weren't certain that such a place still existed in Columbus, but upon searching it out, we discovered a veritable institution and landmark. A Polynesian longhouse on a main street in a midwestern city, complete with flaming tiki gods, a moat, grass huts inside, and simulated rain forest showers. The food was served in variety of presentations, occasionally involving swords and flames. A "Mystery Woman" had the sole job of delivering the restaurant's signature "Mystery Drink" to those who ordered it. To top it all off, the place featured a dessert with the moniker "Big Fat Mamasan." We had to try it, of course. It was served in a gigantic bowl with a cone of flame in the center and dry ice-induced smoke issuing out from under the rim. It was a concoction of ice cream, tropical fruits, sweet syrups, and nuts, and was easily more than three people could consume after such a large meal. One of the highlights of my dining life, even though I'm certainly not a tiki aficionado.
I thought I might take myself by this modern marvel on my upcoming trip to Ohio, in case I had time for dinner plans or a craving for lychee fruit drenched in ice cream and macadamia nuts. I searched for the address to add to my list of potential driving directions. However, I was unable to locate any such address. Further searching revealed that in 2000 the Kahiki's last owner, Michael Tsao, sold the building to Walgreen's, who planned to demolish it to build yet another suburban drug store. The sale occurred despite the restaurant's profitable status, unbeknownst to its longtime employees, and without regard to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Walgreens policy states that it is not in the business of demolishing such sites. However, the building was disassembled in 2001. Tsao allegedly had many of the fixtures stored for later use in a possible reopening at a different location. However, Tsao died in 2005, and potential for such a relocation seems to have ended - not that a new building in a suburban big box could ever have recaptured the atmosphere and history of the old site. Kahiki Foods is now "dedicated to the production of frozen Asian entrees." Wonderful. Sorry about closing our unique eating establishment... Here, go microwave yourself some egg rolls and reminisce about how much better they would have tasted prepared freshly and served on a flaming skewer.
I'm bummed. I saw this sort of thing happen to the historic motels in Williamsburg while I lived there... established institutions with personality torn down to provide more space for cookie-cutter chain hotels and restaurants that can be found in any town and suburb in the country. All to earn somebody who's undoubtedly already a millionaire just a few more dollars.
On the positive side, I've learned of a placed called Bento to Go-Go, or something. Sounds like something I can't miss.

motivation...
Every time I call myself a slacker for not keeping up my blog, every time I remind myself that I really want to keep it updated, every time I put up a post vowing to do better in the future, I wonder if this is it. If this is the time that I'll make it a habit and actually stick to it. We'll see.
Fortunately, my silence doesn't really mean that anyone who might chance to read this has missed much. Things have been relatively level on all fronts. The last dead end job ended in a rather spectacular fashion in July, though you'd never know it by asking anyone who still works there. However, rather than blaspheme the entire company for the misguided actions of a few, I'll simply say that anyone wishing to know more should ask me in another venue. On to the current slightly less dead end job - it's a good thing that I love cheese. Because I spend most days up to my elbows in it. I'm learning a lot, and I can't complain about the discount while I wait for the ever-elusive "something better coming along."
Getting ready to go to a really big city in the middle of many thosands of square miles of corn fields in order to be interviewed for a potential job. Wish me luck.
Today's Weather: It's cold and clear.

You'd think, with all of the information on the internet about how first-year law students can survive their first years of law school, there'd be something out there for those of us who have to deal with first-year law students as they do so. But there really isn't. I keep looking, and despite my excellent search strategies and well-informed librarian self, I never turn anything up. Oh well. I'll just stick to the old standbys of: be patient, be kind, and stay on top of the housework. It's bound to help. (=

ruffling feathers
I'm working on writing my master's thesis. It's fun. SILS is gonna hate me, but I'm going to make them look at some stuff that really needs looking at. Here's why:
Each year, approximately 70-80 students graduate from the master's programs at UNC's School of Information and Library Science. The school offers degrees in Library Science and Information Science. Apparently, at some past time, a well-placed dean decided that Information Science (IS) was the direction that the field was headed, and she decided to hire faculty accordingly. Of the full-time faculty, now only about 6 are Library Science (LS) professors. There are about 12-13 IS professors. The course offerings at SILS have likewise reflected this opinion of the former dean's. Unfortunately, the present dean is also of the IS persuasion and is seeming to continue the trend toward designating the majority of the school's resources toward the IS program. This fall, of the non-required, master's level courses, only 5 are in the LS field, whereas 13 are IS.
What's the problem with this, you ask? Perhaps you think that the deans are right - that more students are going to decide to take IS classes and work in IS jobs. Perhaps, like a handful of vocal others, you believe that libraries and librarians are obsolete. Hmm.
The story at SILS seems to illustrate a far different situation in the field. Approximately 3 out of every 4 SILS students chooses the LS track. We're not admittedly to the specific programs, just to the school. 75% of the students at the country's #1 ranked LIS program choose library degrees. The choose to work in libraries, as librarians, following graduation. And they can't enroll in courses at SILS, because SILS is only offering three sections of database and systems analysis this semester. IS courses are cancelled because they don't gain enough enrollment, and 30 students are placed on waiting lists for Advanced Cataloging, Children's Services, and Government Documents because they fill up quicker than you can imagine. And the interest in the LS program at SILS is growing, not diminishing, as the IS crowd would have them believe. In previous years, for every applicant that seemed to indicate a preference for an IS degree, 5 applicants leaned toward the LS track. This year, for every IS application received, there were 9 LS applicants! So far, the predominantly IS faculty seem to be ignoring this. It reminds me a little of the current political administration - thinking that if they say something enough, that it will become true: Yes, we're winning the war in Iraq. Yes, the field of Library Science is disappearing, and more students want Information Science degrees. Neither appears to be coming true, but it isn't for a lack of trying to make it so by repeating it by the powers that be.
Okay - done ranting now. Did I mention I've been selected to represent the LS community in SILS on the curriculum reform faculty committee? That should be fun too. (=
Today's Weather: blustery, even!

the grind...
Just posted a link to my friend Daryn's blog. He works for Counter Culture Coffee, and he's trying to get his coffee plant at home to produce.
I'm still a slacker when it comes to the upkeep of my blog. This isn't news... I just thought I'd say it.
