I got my bibtex file to work. I just, you know, had to make a new one. For some reason.

I got a call at 7 this morning telling me my card had been declined for an online purchase. Man, was I pissed. I had to call the bank and talk to their fraud division and in the end it turned out nothing was wrong....

bibtex is neato. you can modify your citations by changing the bib style, cause that's what it does.

I'm having one of those problems I can't talk to anybody about. It's really frustrating.

And I can't get my fucking bibtex file to work! I'm so pissed. I could punch someone.

I talked on Friday in elliptic curves, and it went okay, I guess. I talked about isomorphism classes of elliptic curves. I don't think I like lecturing very much. Today it's dunx's...

What you speak of might as well be Martian for someone as uninformed as myself but nonetheless i do hope your day today has been a better one and that you feel much better as well.

I'm sitting in the library. Just now some people (not students) came in to see some art that's in the pit (it's right below my desk) and were talking more loudly than a whisper. I wanted to punch them. Making noise in the library is looked down upon so hard. I'm surprised they let dunx and I share a desk. We must be the loudest...

I wanted to say something here, but I can't really express myself.

Maybe if I just forget about it things can go back to the way they were.

I had a conversation this evening that was less of a conversation and more of just a long silence with a few words thrown in for variety.

In the end, I don't know what to think.

It does take a bit of talent to say a whole lot without really saying anything. To carry on a conversation depending on the chemistry of those involved can be all so effortless regardless of significance of the content. But when those involved don't communicate all to well then no matter the topic nothing will really get said. I think I have thown enough words in so... um.. yeah

This picture was also taken in the library on my birthday. My baby wasn't open yet, but you can see dunx's baby on his screen. My head is hiding a sign that says "trying is the first step towards failure" and his is hiding a sign that says "if at first you don't succeed, success might not be your thing". Our workstation is great....

I hope never to have the need to learn elliptic curves. Another thought: Holy shit she's smiling! Very nice.

Your softly spoken words
Release my whole desire.
Undenied, totally.

And so bare is my heart,
I can't hide.
And so where does my heart belong?

Beneath your tender touch
My senses can't divide.
Oh so strong, my desire.

For so bare is my heart,
I can't hide,
And so where does my heart belong?

Now that I've found you,
And seen behind those eyes,...

I had a good birthday. Thanks for all the well-wishing 'n stuff. It was nice.

I've been thinking a lot about a lot of weird things. I think my thesis makes my brain short out or something.

Whenever something moves me deeply I get this welling up of words into my forebrain as my subconscious scrambles to describe what exactly it is that I feel...

I spent a lot of tonight working after hanging out on the lawn doing nurikabe puzzles instead of working. Then I hung out with my friend Luc and watched Soundgarden videos. God I love Soundgarden. Why did they have to break up? Why? I love Chris Cornell. For my birthday I would like him to come to my house and sing to me. I'll never...

Today I woke up to my spanish class being cancelled. Awesome. I slept in a bit more (I needed it, last night Megan and dunx and I decided it was a good idea to watch the whole first part of The Godfather starting at 11:30) and then went out to breakfast. Then dunx and I got some beer and sat on the lawn until elliptic...

Hmmm, learn something new every day. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I got one bachelors in history and another in geography. I kind of like the soft social science portions of those fields. I suppose I would have succeeded more so in the days when they were taught as humanities.

I am interested in the how people use information and how to best provide it for them. This includes the processes in which people search for information and how to help them in each of these stages. What has intrigued me most as of late is the only recently realized unexpected benefits of pleasure reading. This includes the intellectual development of people as they grow older and communities of shared experiences that spring up. I have an interesting article on the validity of romance novels (I dont read them myself, though I have a report on erotica due in a couple of weeks) as a literary source I wish I could send you. However, proprietary law prevents me from copying the article and sending it to you. I would just mail you the article but that would mean getting your address and if a severed monkeys head ended up on your porch, I know who youd blame.

My strongest interest is working in a neighborhood branch as a public librarian. I would be a jack-of-all trades and could do reference, cataloging, programming, readers advisory, and maintain the web page. Working at an academic library and providing reference and bibliographic instruction is a close second. If I did this, I would try to coordinate with professors and make library research a part of the curriculum in entry and survey level classes. This way, when major research papers and theses come up, students could focus on heavy research and not be overly concerned with finding sources.

I have noticed on your posts that you study math. I think law, math, and science students can really write their own ticket if they get into the library school. Those positions are harder for libraries to fill and the greatest demands are in those fields.

I hope this helps and best of luck on whatever endeavors you decide to undertake. Feel free to ask me more questions about the field anytime.
