Last night, I had a dream that I had a dream that I had a baby. And in my dream-within-a-dream, I was happy beyond words. Until I found out that, while I was conked out from the c-section drugs, Daniel had named the baby “Michael David.” And I nearly clobbered him. Then I woke up …

Cingular has a commercial on the radio right now that I find very funny. The premise is that a daughter is in college and her dad is freaking out about how much it’s costing. It ends with him complaining about spending $2,000 for a poetry class, at which time he says, “You want poetry? How …

Daniel asked me last night how I find blogs. “Do you just search for them?” he asked. Well, to date, my favorite blogs (see links, on the right >> ) have all been shared with me by friends. But his question brought up a good point: How do you find cool blogs? I decided to …

Caveat: I’m not sure how to describe the last 24 hours without stepping on toes, so I’m going to give it my best shot and ask you to forgive me if this is a little vague. I’ve spent a lot of time in the last week or so marinating (quietly) about what it means to …

So, this is really a practicum liz thing to blog about, but golly gosh darnit, you get it here instead. A woman who had called during my first hour (when I was actually, sniff, AT the reference desk) with a panicked need for information came in shortly after I moved back to a cube, and …

What, he has Internet access at home again?! And, has he …

Check out “A Company of Soldiers” tonight on KERA 13 (in Dallas) or on your PBS station. From the Web site: FRONTLINE reports from inside the U.S. Army’s 8th Cavalry Regiment stationed in Baghdad for an up-close, intimate look at the dangers facing an American military unit in Iraq. Shot in the weeks following the …

Do you ever have a word knocking around in your head that feels like the right word, even though you’re not sure why? I’ve been thinking about Lewis Black a lot lately (’cause we went to see him Friday, and all), and the word I’ve been wanting to use to describe him is apoplectic. I …

So I did a little yardwork yesterday. Lots of raking, bending, shoveling, etc. And I do understand soreness when you use muscles you don’t normally. Such as those used in the above-mentioned activities. But, I mean, there’s the kind of soreness that can be alleviated (at least a tiny bit) with two Aleve and lots …
