bloggercon

So, I’m going to go to bloggercon. I think Librarygirl is too. I’m a little mystified about what to go to other than the Librarianesque session. And I’m also mystified about the Librarianesque session as I do not blog for work and do not think I will be blogging in real life (as opposed to [...]



the dvd that should not be

April 12th, 2004 at 10:11 am » Comments (6)

I’m mystified as to why Jem and the Holograms is getting a 2 season dvd boxset. I’m as happy to indulge in 80s nostalgia as the next person, but this seems to be going a little too far



Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, friend to children or overzealous psycho-pharmacist?

April 7th, 2004 at 6:22 pm » Comments (5)

For some reason today I started thinking about the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books. I think it was because I was preparing for a class I’m teaching tomorrow, and I couldn’t focus on figuring out some compelling search examples for students researching mercury levels in salmon.
I really shouldn’t have children, because I’d be tempted to give [...]



sci-fi channel getting good again?

I haven’t watched much on it since they canceled Farscape. But in addition to the new Farscape mini-series, they are adapting the anime Witch Hunter Robin as a live action series and producing a half-hour comedy based on Mike “Hellboy” Mignola’s Amazing Screw-On Head. And they’re letting Bruce Campbell write and direct a movie. Sounds [...]

Kokoro Toshokan is yet another anime that features librarians, although instead of sleepy angelic librarians or bibliomanics with super powers, in this show we have really really cute librarians. This show is so sweet, it might make you a little diabetic.
The show is about three sisters who are librarians in what appears to be [...]



totebags

April 3rd, 2004 at 9:04 pm » Comments (8)

Why is it that at library conferences where attendees are given free totebags, people come with totebags from other conferences? Is it so easy to form a sentimental attachment to a square bit of canvas with handles and an Internet Librarian 2000 logo? Or a giant totebag advertising an OPAC that no longer exists? [...]



wake the devil!

So I’ve been a little obsessed with the Hellboy movie recently. But that is a fangirl’s prerogative. I really wonder how someone who hasn’t read the comics would react to this film. I thought it was a great adaptation of the comics, and I didn’t mind the aspects of the story that had been [...]



new comics blog

Scott from Previewsreview has a blog focusing on comic books for all ages, it might come in handy for YA librarians. So far, he is discussing the new Mary Jane comic and Scholastic dropping Shonen Jump due to objectionable content.
