ladybranwen | In list form, I have too much to do.

While doing some reference work in the library, I examined Poole's Index to Periodical Literature 1802-1906. In his intro, he is describing how librarians from the US and from the UK joined forces to compile this Index. Except, half of the British librarians didn't get their info completed on time, so he muses that, "perhaps the climate and social customs of England are not so favorable as they are in America for night work". Somewhat hinting that they weren't as devoted to the cause as to the librarians across the pond. He then says that what they've really been doing, since all of the librarians basically did this at night when their regular jobs were finished, was "night play" instead of work. Because it was something that they hopefully enjoyed doing. Night play is a fun phrase.

I spent a good portion of my time in the library, but still need to go back tomorrow, if not Saturday. Hmm, weekend to do list:

-Finish up reference works
-Reference questions
-Readings for LIS 407, 415, and 488
-Paper for LIS 438
-Book review for LIS 438?
-Catalog record of one of my books
-Start researching EAD?

Now that I see that I have lots to do, maybe I won't waste time.

Like last night, I ended up watching two hours of Lost, because I hadn't watched it all last year, though now I realize that it is on at the same time as Veronica Mars. Why do they do that? Then I went down to visit Cynthia, and eventually watched Boondock Saints with her, Nina, and Brandon until a little after one.

Oh, and my shower sandals broke today while I was in the shower. How unfun is that? And I have no clue as to where to get a cheap pair, or any pair for that matter, in Boston. And going out to find someplace takes so much time what with the T and everything. But, if that is the worst of my problems, I guess I can deal. Plus, I avoided walking on the broken glass that was in the hallway between my room and the bathroom.
