Yankee Librarian: November 2013
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Tuesday, November 26, 2013. They have flees. Actually, I think I have more bites than them. They barely seem to notice. The vet thinks that we caught them early. She gave them medicine and sent me home with some carpet spray. And now I am very aware of the itchy bumps on my ankles. I blame the sketchy downtown petstore. Tuesday, November 26, 2013. Links to this post. Sunday, November 24, 2013. This is what happened. But dec...

Yankee Librarian: April 2014
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Sunday, April 27, 2014. Bikers Get the Best Seats. Hi there blogosphere. Long time, no blog. I've been busy.). When I was about 19 years old a friend of mine got a tattoo. She wasn't the first person I knew with a tattoo, but that little stick figure dragon she had made me want one. Bad. The next year, I began talking about it more and more. And more. And more. Was one of these friends, the other was RFFF. Today, twenty-fou...

Yankee Librarian: Saying Goodbye
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2013/05/saying-goodbye.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Friday, May 24, 2013. Memorial last weekend, a group of friends and I went to Bruce's house. I knew it would be the hardest thing about the weekend, but I needed to do it. The last few times I have gone back to my Old Stomping Grounds. I stayed at K. Yes Was it difficult? Very But I needed it. It was closure. I cried when I walked in the front door, but this is when I really lost it. This was Bruce's House. But it w...It ha...

Yankee Librarian: It's Just Marriage
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2015/06/its-just-marriage.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. I was standing in the SupPop store in SeaTac. It was about 7:15 or so. Maybe closer to 7:20. I was wasting some time before my flight to San Francisco for ALA Annual. I pulled out my phone to check messages and I saw a notification that the Supreme Court was about to make an announcement, followed by an announcement that the Supreme Court had approved same-sex marriage 5-4. So the Saturday night, the...

Yankee Librarian: October 2013
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Sunday, October 20, 2013. Remember Dollar Shave Club? I know, who could forget? I'm here to say that the blades as as awesome as their commercial. Especially for $6 every other month. I signed up because I hate shaving my legs for lots of reasons, but one of them is just the act of buying blades. I did an every-other-month option since I shave as little as possible. Totally worth it. Sunday, October 20, 2013. Well, the time...

Yankee Librarian: Watching Reading Listening
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2015/02/watching-reading-listening.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Friends is on pretty constant syndication rotation, being able to just binge watch or pick and choose episodes is cool. And all these years later, what really stands out? Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow. Both of them are pretty amazing. I cannot get over how much I like this show. So very much. Funny Girl: A Novel. No Cities to Love. Fuck no. And I have been listening to it almost non-stop....And I...

Yankee Librarian: September 2014
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Saturday, September 27, 2014. I went to Alaska. And it was awesome. This is what I learned about cruises: They are ridiculous. They are full of overly-positive people putting on an act to make it seem like everything is fine. They are weird and over-the-top. If you embrace all of that, they can be really entertaining. I can really see why they are popular with the older set and for those with limited mobility. The ships...

Yankee Librarian: July 2014
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Thursday, July 3, 2014. It's time for my annual ALA conference post. This year ALA was in Vegas. Yes, Vegas. Many people were conflicted. Many didn't go because of where it was located. I had mixed feelings but was looking forward to it because I love kitsch. I'll write more about my other experiences and feelings about Vegas, but this one post is about the food. I did grab dinner at the Brooklyn Bowl my first night. I ...

Yankee Librarian: December 2013
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Wednesday, December 18, 2013. Confessions of a Riot Grrrl. I wasn't a riot grrrl. Now, many people would disagree. Those who knew me then. Those who know me now. Those who saw pictures of me from the early 1990s. I was in your face. I would stand up for women who couldn't stand up for themselves. If you were a dick in any way, I called you on it. I was a bad ass. But I wasn't a Riot Grrrl. No But I don't remember why. M...

Yankee Librarian: August 2014
http://yankeelibrarian.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
I'm a Yankee. I'm a librarian. I left the Deep South for the Pacifical Northwest. Tuesday, August 26, 2014. I bought a new camera. A real camera. It's an entry-level digital SLR. Get ready for arty pictures of my cats. Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Links to this post. Saturday, August 2, 2014. One person, K, the one who I was probably closest to and who is still a part of my life (and whose wedding I attended a year ago), sent me a mic of Austin-based bands. There were several things that really struck m...
