Diabolical Plan


Sometimes I put out Word Searches in the liberry for the little keeds to look for words from a list in a block of letters. I was thinking it would be funny to create a Word Search where the words on the list were not actually anywhere in the block of letters. The children would lose their minds!

Frittering life away

I've been playing with generators found through The Generator Blog all morning. The picture below comes from atom.smasher.org

The boring librarian report

When I'm not keeping kids in the library from strangling each other (literally!), I am reading The Lighthouse Almanacat coffee shops with TK. I've also started listening to audio books in the car, catching up on children's classics I somehow missed growing up, such as Anne of Green Gables and Little Women. I avoided these two like the plague as a youngen, but how I love them now! Anne of Green Gables can actually be downloaded through the LAPL website as an e-Audiobook with your library card. I just checked out the audio book of The Lobster Chronicles by Linda Greenway. Remember in A Perfect Storm there was a female fishing boat captain? She quit fishing for swordfish after twenty years and became a lobster fisherwoman. This book is about living on Isle au Haut off the coast of Maine. I'm loving it so far. Lots of lingo about buoys, warps, traps, and such.

TK is reading a collection of gay themed mysteries set in Los Feliz. I've lived in Los Feliz for a year, but don't feel I know it too intimately. I'm trying to be more observant and notice more things like what kind of trees are here. Mostly they are the kind of trees that leave shit all over your car when you park under them. When we visited Claremont lately there was beautiful crepe myrtle all in bloom. I need to learn more trees.
