Than Johnny Depp, Antonio Banderas, and massive amounts of carnage.
I loved Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Plot, shmot! It didn’t need one!
It was nice seeing it in a crappy movie theater on a weekday evening. It was totally deserted, and I felt like I had my own private screening, and I sat and snickered [...]

Since today I spent half my day on the desk, I thought I’d experiment with a RefGrunt style post:
Here are some databases you might want to try for your research….This is how you might search for your topic
Printing
Books are over there
Wireless
Here is a highlighter
Back issues of that magazine from 1935 are there
We have online access [...]

I tend to read tons of superhero comics, with a smattering of independant comics from time to time. I’ve become a big fan of Andi Watson recently — his deceptively simple art style provides some relief to my eyes when they’ve been saturated with too much “tights and fights” from mainstream comic books. I’ve [...]

Many places are reporting that Christian Bale is going to be the next Batman, in a movie directed by Christopher “Memento” Nolan.
I hope that Mr. Nolan is able to do for Batman what Sam Raimi did for Spiderman. Christan Bale will certainly be a great Bruce Wayne, and he can do action movie stuff quite [...]

Well, here’s an opportunity for you, this is the application (pdf) for the new Stan Lee show on the WB, Who Wants to be a Superhero. Perhaps we should get a representative of the library community on this show as a way of counteracting the dreaded shushing librarian action figure. I’m sure if they make [...]

This hits especially [...]

I swear, I’ve had my trusty laptop for almost a year now, and nary a sight of the dreaded blue screen of death…but something happened to it last night and I somehow got into a horrible loop that would always end in the blue screen of death, it wasn’t allowing me to get into safe [...]

Imagine my shock and surprise when I was goofing off…er I mean to say Engaging in Vital Professional Development by looking at lisfeeds, only to discover that I am listed there! I am now doing a big Wayne and Garth “We’re not worthy!” in lisfeeds’ general direction. Cool!
My first classes of the semester went ok, [...]

I am so slowly waking up today. I hope I eventually become semi-coherent, as I am teaching my first couple of library classes of the semester early this evening. I always tend to get amped up for my first classes, but then that wears off quickly enough once the semester drags on and I’m teaching [...]

I’m so glad that liberry blooze is back. And it is too bad that things were difficult for the author. I guess it is part of the dangers of blogging, especially in a profession like librarianship where if people want to find out information about you online, they certainly have a full arsenal of search [...]
