The Cast Of Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 13 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 13. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story(!)

JR: Age 9  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

Want The Latest Mishegosse?

The Librarians Are Avenged!

posted Sat, 06/18/05

I find it incredibly delicious (almost as good as chocolate) that the yes men on Capitol Hill have finally NOT given the Shrub what he wants. In fact, he has gotten a nice little frosk in der pisk (slap in the puss to you gentile types) from Congress over the section of the Patriot Act dealing with libraries.

He should've known better. After all, he IS married to someone who makes a big deal about the fact that she once was a librarian. Whatever did happen, Laura?  Certainly Georgie Porgie and Mary-Kate and Ashley--excuse me, Barbara and Jenna--are not to be seen in D.C. bookstores, much less the crumbling D.C. libraries. While in contrast, the Clintons were seen in such places regularly....

Take heed, legislators, before you ever consider pissing off librarians again. Because we will be AVENGED!

Who are Librarian Avengers?

Librarian Avengers look like everyone.
Librarian Avengers seem so nice.
Librarian Avengers have work to do.
Librarian Avengers save books.
Librarian Avengers keep information free.
Librarian Avengers protect us from censorship.
Librarian Avengers take no guff.
Librarian Avengers suffer no fools.
Librarian Avengers raise heck.

The lines above are from the Librarian Avengers website. Go there to discover why you should worship librarians. And if you ARE a librarian, they have some very nice t-shirts and the like for sale. I've got my eye on one of those "Librarianship, Profession of the Overeducated" t shirts for myself................
