Fwd: Best find from my visit to the new New Seasons (local WF-type store). I haven't been able to find these anywhere in aaaaaaages. <3 (via http://ff.im/Oolpq)
Hello librarian friends. Is the word "promptuary" dead? Has it been completely replaced by its Google synonym? Or can we use it still? I'm starting to wonder if we need to compile a dying/dead library-word list.
Favorite thing of this month: my niece's "future librarian" onesie! 'twasn't even bought by me -- it was found by my sis-in-law! (Sorry to those of you who have already seen this, but it keeps making me smile and I must share.) http://www.flickr.com/photos...
we've got three so far. might take awhile for friendfeed to notice - I'm sure they'll think we are all Botts ... until we start having conversations with one another ...
- Laura Norvig
Gee, it took us a while to get going with this!

In my original vision it was going to be when there was some fast and furious discussion and we would just sneakily change but now that FF is on the backburner, I got inspired by your last name change. And I wanna be you for awhile. ;-)

Does anyone have a small collection manager they like better than LibraryThing? I'm making a recreational reading collection that won't be integrated into our main catalog - trying to decide how I want to organize it. So far I only have about 20 books, but am taking donations, so we'll see...
Yay! Welcome to FF and the LauraBrarian group! :)

I can only hope to stay on the good side of the LauraBrarians. They will eventually take over the world. Don't ask me how; I just know it.

*fist bump* LauraCon was sparsely attended but nevertheless awesome this year at #IL2009 Also met Lori Reed. What do you think, Ladies? Are Lauries and Loris LauraBrarians?
- Laura Norvig
As long as I don't get called Laurie/Lori, Lauren, or Laurel, I am down with having them on board.
- laura x
it was good to meet another of the Laurabrarians! Botts, you are just about the only one left ;)
- holly #ravingfangirl
laura x, my Laura could not. agree. with. you. more (re Laurie/Lori, Lauren, Laurel and other imitations ;)
- Micah
Feel free to include all the others! Yes, I'm going to have to get to one of these meetings at some point.
- LB: #TeamMonique
Well, we didn't really have a meeting. I introduced myself to ellbeecee and Laura Harris and that was the extent of LauraCon. Still, it was awesome.
- Laura Norvig
Yay for Lauras! I get called Laurie or Lauren by patients all the time. >.<
- Lola Bean (Penguin)
That makes no sense. Penguin sounds nothing like Laurie or Lauren. :-)
- Bruce Lewis
Wow, are you one of us, Penguin? I've never known you by any other name!
- Laura Norvig
Yep! I started going by Penguin online a while back... I feel so ashamed sometimes for hiding my Laura-ness! ;)
- Lola Bean (Penguin)
Names are weird. I don't know that I've ever truly owned mine. I don't love it and I don't hate it. I'm very indifferent towards it, really. Do you think there are people who love their own names?
- Laura Norvig
I love my last name, and I like the way my full name scans.
- laura x
I like your last name too! Your name could easily be a character in a novel.
- Laura Norvig
I'm not sure I knew you were a Laura, Penguin! Yay!
- LB: #TeamMonique
I'm not a Laura, or a librarian. Just a fan. Which means I'm your fan! Woo! Yay Laura!

Garrison Keillor sang "Tell Laura I Love Her" on PHC tonight, which made me remember the time he and Dave Barry did a duet of it. Sadly, I can't find anything but a record of its happening: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/program...
Fwd: this morning I got to shake @ellbeecee's hand. Now sitting in a session where @ljharris is presenting. Squee! LauraCon is happening #il2009 (via http://friendfeed.com/lauran...)
I was really grokking your Walt Crawford poetry over lunch and a glass of Chardonnay yesterday. Beautiful. Made me want to write again. (Or try some mashups - unfamiliar territory for me.)
- Laura Norvig
Thanks! I am now going to recommend that everyone read it over a glass of Chardonnay. Probably helps it go down.

Have the original R&S on VHS somewhere, all of them. :) I launched in to the "Ice Cream Bar" monologue from "Space Madness" one day at the office - blank stares all around. :P
- teleken
I'm envious! I have a few off-air episodes somewhere. Also two t-shirts, some boxers, and a jigsaw puzzle. :)
