action figure…
February 1st, 2008
If they ever make an action figure out of me, it would probably look a lot like this. Minus the samurai sword.
I’d be carrying a lightsaber.
over there…
January 31st, 2008
Our library was a polling place, which always makes for exciting stories:
Patron: Hi, where do you go to vote?
Me, pointing over to our program room: Over there in our program room.
Patron, pointing behind me: There?
Me, pointing over to our program room with a sign saying Polling Place and two poll deputies manning the front: No, m’am, over there. Right where those two in orange vests are standing.
Patron: Oh, thanks.Patron proceeds to stand in front of copy machine, looking very dumbfounded
Me: No, m’am, the polling place is over there in that room.
She’s voting for the future leader of America.
Happy 2008!

Happy 2008 to all my readers, and thank you for all the comments on various penile enhancements and other prescriptions. I’ve made a New Years resolution to post more. But then again, I made that same resolution in 2007 and 2006.
So, at this rate, I hope you enjoy 2009 as well.
irony…

Our copy of “The Book Thief” has gone missing. Suspect at large.
bookcase built into a chair…

For no reason whatsoever other than the fact that I would like to own one, here’s a bookcase built into a chair.
that’s me?

Upon further viewing of Heroes, Season 1, I’ve come to the conclusion that creator Tim Kring based the character of Hiro Nakamura on me. I expect a check soon.
Sold…
September 9th, 2007
I sold my martial arts DVD collection. Well, some of it at least. A good 30-40 percent of it maybe. I took a look at the collection and finally accepted the fact that I won’t be watching that 30-40 percent any time soon, or ever again. I also accepted the fact that we don’t even own a VCR anymore so why even bother keeping VHS tapes.
I kept all my favorites of course, from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Zu Warriors. I also managed to weed a lot of the non-martial arts stuff we don’t seem to care about. All in all, it filled up a fairly large box. We managed to get around $80.00 in store credit - which all went to this -
…upping my geek cred a few more notches.

badges, we don’t need no stinkin’ badges
May 30th, 2007
We recently received staff tags to wear around our necks. Of course, within several hours of wearing one, I’m still asked that inevitable question - do I work here?
Metamorphosis…
May 23rd, 2007
Today, after spending two days at home thanks to the wonders of sinus headaches, I came back to work and was welcomed with several boxes of donated books piled high near my desk - some of which haven’t seen the light of day since the Johnson administration.
Andew Johnson.
So, I dilegently went through them, sorting them out for the annual booksale. I came across a box with a couple of well-used classics, including a copy of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. It was then I noticed a roach crawling inside the box. After appreciating this little bit of irony, I quickly placed Gregor (yeah, I named it) out of his memory. It was then I appreciated that this bit of irony didn’t happen when I opened up that package of new DVDs which contained Snakes on a Plane.
