Normal America

Well as soon as work lets off, and I stop by the apartment to do something, I am heading out for Morehead. I figured I'd visit Meg since her B-Day was Wednesday maybe treat her & Crystal to some Chinese Buffet, also it's a chance to just hang out with everybody there. I haven't been back to MSU in over a year I think, really it's not by choice more due to the fact that gas prices have kinda been ridiculous, plus work, and many other reasons. I might crash at Meg & Crystal's tonight but, depending on the weather I am not sure yet, plus I don't wanna impose on them like that. Work "time check", 5 more hours, 4 not counting lunch hour.

Had a nice time in Morehead, it was relaxing even though the drive was a tad tiring. Lately I have become a bit fired up about my public library and its ordering practices. What I am talking about, is the shortage of graphic novels at Paul Sawyer Library.The shortage of this medium isn't horrible but, by no means is it good either. Graphic novels aka Comic Books have more and more become a respected literary medium, and there have been many cases wherein ordering of graphic novels has caused an increase in library visitors/patrons. At the moment I am going through a couple of different websites on how to increase awareness of it and get an overall game plan set up. In all it seems like something trivial to get fired up about but, part of my property tax goes to the library and it doesn't make sense to have a library that doesn't actually get books/novels myself and many others would like.

In the past month I have had more food thrown at me then in the whole entire year.

Two Weeks Ago - Christmas Party for work = Good dinner
Friday before Christmas - Pot-luck of sorts at work, think food enough for 40 people
Christmas - BIG Morning Breakfast/BIG Afternoon Lunch
Today - New Years' Work Pot-luck - UGh almost as much as the last potluck
Saturday - Food up at Ohio for Christmas up there

and people wonder why they gain extra weight during the holidays. If I have any more food thrown at me I am gonna lose it.

A neat little program I found while surfing the web is something called AM-DeadLink, now for those that don't have a lot of bookmarks this is kind of useless for you but, for the rest of us that have over 10 (I have 203) this little tool checks all the bookmarks for you letting you know which links can no longer be accessed. It's really handy if you got a lot of bookmarks so, if you do, check it out.
