19 Dec 2005. I am back!
I have two weeks off work and one of the things on my to do list is to update my website. My latest passion has been knitting. I am adding a knitting gallery under the eye candy section of this site, but here is a taste.

I really enjoyed this movie. I particularly identified with Charlotte’.

17 Jan 2004. The Word Spy.
The Word Spy is an online dictionary of popular new words. It is so fun. I went searching for the origin of the term “nexter” and discovered that I am also a flexitarian, librarian chic, a survivor of quarterlife crisis, and an avid googler.
Enjoy!

16 Jan 2004. Friendster.

Six Degrees of Procrastination; Why is everyone you know on Friendster? By Douglas Wolk. A great article on the friendster phenomenon.

The Buttafly Guide to Interpreting Friendster Photos. By Jennifer Bishop Fulwiler. Friendsters will chuckle at this blogger’s humorous post.

16 Oct 2003. Librarian Action Figure.
The UPS man delivered my highly anticipated librarian action figure. Yay! She is made by Archie McPhee, a very cool toy company and producer of pop culture artifacts. Read all about the action figure and the real life librarian she was patterned after at McPhee.com.
Not everyone in the profession is happy about the Librarian Action Figure. Read all about it at CNN.com.
Where is the line between perpetuating a stereotype and owning it?

27 Sep 2003. The Element.
Sam is thrilled to be the proud new owner of a silver Honda Element. My fabulous hairdresser, Bowen, believes this purchase confirms our status as “What Nexters.” Did you know the interior of this car is entirely waterproof? You can actually hose down the inside!
