La de da

Dear fair readers,

My sincerest apologies for my severe lack of posting in the past week or two. I know that excuses are no excuse, but what can I say? My to do list is catching up with me.

This week alone I have one presentation on Hoover’s, another for Humanities class on Scientology, a paper on privacy for my Info Policy class, one phone interview for a job, and one second interview for a different job.

Oy vey!

So, you might wonder, what am I doing to keep completely sane?

Oh Nintendo DS Lite! Your accessibly simple, yet educational gaming saves my sanity every time!The Nintendo DS has oodles of educational games that you can pick up, play for 30 minutes or so, and then go back to whatever things you really should be doing atm. My current favorite is My French Coach.

Through a series of games and quizzes and an excellent “coach”, I can refresh my memory of all those lovely high school french classes with Mdm. Roselle.

So next time someone tells you that video games rot your brain, tell them to bugger off in french. (Va t’en! Tu es tres stupide!) Or your could tell them to read up on their Jenny Levine. She’ll tell them what’s up.

So again, my apologies fair readers. If you need something to do, I recommend gaming. It’s good for your brain.

Happy Monday!

So, here it is. The new blog.

For those of you who don’t know already, I hosted a blog on myspace for a little over 2 years now and have finally decided to graduate.

Yep. That’s me. Granted it is me just over a year ago…but still. Me.

Hi.

I left the myspace blog for several reasons. But mainly I really hate News Corp. and I’ve made a conscious decision to not support them anymore. (unless you have been living in a cave for the past few years then you know that Murdoch purchased myspace for millions of dollars….bastard).

How about a little introduction. I have been living happily in Chicago for just over a year now. I’m also attending graduate school at Dominican University for my MLIS (Master’s of Library and Information Science). Because, I’m not sure if you know this or not, but Librarians are awesome. Seriously. You don’t believe me?

Proof:

Told you so.

More about me because I know you are dying to find out. Don’t lie.

I’m an avid reader and big supporter of libraries (obviously) and independent bookstores. You should be shopping here: Unbridged Bookstore

And you should not be shopping here: Pure Evil

Also I love music, windy days (which we have plenty of here in Chicago) and my adorable little dog Shinji.

He’s precious. I know.

So welcome to my blog! I post about anything and everything, including politics, music, movies, library stuff and people who I think are stupid.

I think this will be quite fun.

Happy Thursday fair readers.
