I am still alive. Just working on this damn thesis/project. I promise more posts after this is all over.

My uncle D and aunt M are coming for a visit next month. Neither of them have ever visited me before; it must be the lure of NYC.

I am really excited about ALA this summer. It will be a great opportunity for me to meet and network. I will be looking for a job in December, so I need all the networking I can get.

I wish I had more interesting stories to tell you, but nothing much is going on. Zero is doing great and M is crazy busy at work. Any architects out there looking for work in NYC? I know a firm that needs some serious help.

I love this commercial by AmeriQuest. It is the one called "Surprise Dinner." You may have already seen this if you watched the SuperBowl. I know it is old news, but I saw the commercial again today and laughed my ass off. Thought I would share.

I found this great global music site. You can sample the songs and then buy them for $0.99. Really great site. It is very well organized; you can search by geography or by instrument.

More good news. I was selected by the faculty at the QC Graduate School of Library and Information Science to attend the American Library Association's annual conference. ALA will pay the cost of hotel, registration, and food. QC is helping with transportation. Only 30 students were selected nationally, so I feel quite honored.

This year it is being held in Chicago. I have only been there once, so I am excited to visit again. I hope to visit some friends (Stacy and Ally) while I am there. It has been 5+ years since I last saw either of them.
