Last night I think I successfully networked. Went to Simmons to help represent the Association of Boston Law Librarians at a career panel. It was interesting, but I do wish Simmons students would learn the fine art of looking at the clock and not having the same questions as everyone else when the panel could easily have ended fifteen minutes before its scheduled end time. Some of us have to work in the morning and had an hour commute to get home. So glad I don't have to make the Simmons trek any more.

I made the mistake of getting into a reply-to-all email "conversation" with my mother and now her husband about politics. If you can even call their thoughts politics, as they are both so completely dissociated from reality I'm amazed they can remember how to breathe. Did you know that there's some sort of crazy, paranoid right-wing-nutjob conspiracy theory about Obama having become a citizen of Indonesia under a different name? And how the entire state government of Hawaii is clearly in on the deal, as they have helped Obama forge his birth certificate? What?! I had no idea the extent of right wing lunacy until now, and trust me, it is hardcore crazycakes.

Tonight we see John Hodgman at the Coolidge!! So excited!!
