Back at ALA, I got a chance to meet one of the guys involved with Unshelved, a webcomic about librarians. They had some fun t-shirts at their booth, and he ended up giving me a “Guess what I’m reading?” tee, which has become my new favorite, and tends to start conversations. But it’s a men’s [...]

I should be depressed, my life’s a mess, but I’m having a good time.* (Okay, so you’re supposed to sing that the day after your birthday, I know, but “yes, today” sounds almost like “yesterday”!) Funny enough, I just discovered that on [...]
