So The X-Files has a new “set” out of the “mythology” episodes. I don’t think this is a good idea. I will just own all the seasons and if I ever get the urge to watch all the mythology episodes I will just have to hunt and pick. The stand-alone shows were the best in my opinion. There could be intricate plots in the mythology episodes that were brilliant, but most of the time they got lost in each other and I lost focus. I started liking the characters at that point and enjoyed seeing how they reacted to each other and the circumstances they found each other in. But, there would have to be an ass-load of extra stuff that I have never seen before in order for me to buy that marketing ploy. And I am an x-phile, I love me some X-Files, but buy this set? I will not. There are two volumes that I have seen. Each one runs about 700 minutes and has three seasons worth of mythology in each set, so a third one will be coming out in November, probably. The second one is available in August. My whole point is for you to not buy this and to force Chris Carter and his crew to move on and make something else cool. The X-Files ended 3 years ago. Darin Morgan was an awesome writer from that group and he fell off the face of the earth. I would love to see a Darin Morgan movie or show. It would be intelligent and funny. What a concept.
I am in charge of the poetry readings at Da Beach House. I learned this yesterday when Diane told me. (Well, me and another woman, but when the fall gets here it is all me cause she has class.) Diane is also going to help me get into journals. She is on the board of the pushcart prize so she knows what she is doing. She is awesome. Her name will be on my acknowledgments page, right under Kristyn’s, because Kristyn is a wretched-orange wench, and she knows it.
Diane said if she could go back and do anything while in her undergraduate year, she would have thrown an exam in an instructor's face like I did to Dr. Ass. She found it highly amusing because she doesn’t like him either. “He’s too weird.”
Another good instructor left the school. Dr. Smith, who was trying to get a Sigma Tao Delta (yes, the English honor society is STD. Hehehe) chapter down here and trying to get support for writing workshops and conferences to be held on the Gulf Park Campus, got a job at the University of Georgia in Athens. So it is Ass, Harris, and Watson that are there now. There is another one, but she teaches the licensure classes for those education majors, so she doesn’t count. Ha.
Oh, how come no one told me about the Google Print search? That shit is awesome. Search full texts of books? Why, yes I will, thank you.
Print.google.com
Go there, and not leave your computer ever again.
You know your a librarian when.....you freak out over a site like print.google.com and run around the library telling everyone how kick ass it is! I found my casquet (sp?) girls after two months of trying to find a book with them in it. You kick ass! Also, Paul and I got a guinua pig. He is a puruvian white with loooong hair named Bogey (his origional name). We are sad, sad individuals, we let all these damn creatures hypnotize us to take them in. *Kisses*

UGA is cool. that's where Beau and Mums read... in a cafeteria. Athens is a pretty cool place, if you ever get a chance to go there and read or shop or anything. As I recall, the campus seemed to have a NOLA-esque problem with cockroaches, so go in the middle of winter.
