So this post can seem vaguely work-related (since…um…I’m at work) here’s a lovely picture of where my new office will be in May. Enjoy with me my view through the window of one of the oldest dorms still standing on the campus.
Now for stuff:
Now for more random photos:
Got to attend a presentation by the author of one of my favorite books last week. That was fun.
I’ve been a librarian for over three years but this was the first actual book display I’d ever helped with. My second-in-command (pictured above) gets most of the credit, though.
And now I’m off to a two-hour meeting that will no doubt be every bit as exciting as this post was…
The Sights
So Much for Everlasting Love (1982)
More random stuff for a Thursday afternoon:
At some point soon, I’ll expand on my exciting weekend in Tennessee, summer vacation plans, and more. But that time is not today.
Mi-Sex
Falling In and Out (1981)
It apparently took this record three years to make it from New Zealand to the US, where it was released in 1984. Frankly, they could have left the outfits at home. The song may not exactly have stood the test of time either, but it beats some of its competition from the era.
The Rutles
Hold My Hand (1964)
I’m rediscovering my fascination with the Prefab Four today.
Seems I’m getting an astonishingly large tax refund this year. That means (a) I’m going to take a hell of a vacation later this year, and (b) I really need to adjust my withholding. Part of it, of course, is that I’m in the first year of a refi so I payed a lot of mortgage interest. After all those years of self-employment and always having to pay more at the end of the year, though, this is quite the refreshing change of pace. In fact, having some financial stability in general is pretty refreshing.
Now to spoil this good mood by starting on Mom and Dad’s taxes…
Foxygen
San Francisco (2013)
This is charmingly odd and I like it. It’s a freebie right now if you like it too.
Imperial Teen
You’re One (1996)
Simply one of the best pop songs ever despite (because of?) a rather pronounced dark side. Thank you.
Tuesday night on the couch:
The coldest March in recent memory continues and for about the fifth time in the past three weeks, I have no heat. That means that instead of using my holiday for good, I get to spend yet another day waiting for the plumber to come out and not fix it correctly. This annoys me. I may just spend the weekend at my other house.
The Weather Channel is no longer predicting snow showers in DC next week. I’m pretty much OK with that.
I’m bored with this theme now and am going to bed.
It seems that whole Republican “limited government” philosophy only applies when starting or ending a marriage is not involved.
I will not allow the state to decide how a portion of my income will be spent nor to regulate my business, but I’m happy as a clam to allow the state to tell me whom I may choose to marry and how long we must stay together.
Uh huh…
Spirit of the West
Home for a Rest (1990)
