That's the 6G iPod Nano. On a watch band. All those futuristic cartoons from my childhood are coming true. Now, where are the flying cars?

So, being the complete and utter book nerd that I am, I found this meme and just had to post it on here. Feel free to copy it yourself, if you wish. These are 100 great books listed by the BBC. According to them, most people have read only 6.Instructions: Copy/paste this list of books.

I've been doing quite a bit of weeding at the library lately in preparation for a collection development project and sometimes, I find really funny things. Today, I pulled a couple of outdated computer books from the juvenile section and found this in the glossary at the end of the book, alongside other things like mouse, RAM, and printer: Zorxyl: There really isn't anything in a computer called

So, I was browsing Barnes and Noble, just checking out their rare books section on the website, when I came across this complete rip-off. What?!? I didn't realize someone would actually pay that much for one of those. I definitely wouldn't. Not for an author inscribed copy, not for a first edition. Ever. Such bizarre things you find on the internets.

I’m not sure how I became drawn to the genre of historical fiction. My mother left regency romance novels lying around the house when I was a teenager, and I pretty much devoured any fiction I could get my hands on at that age, so maybe that had an influence. Several non-romances had an impact on me as well. I absolutely adored survival stories: think My Side of the Mountain or The Island of the

Let's see, what's been happening in my life lately?Well, I recently went to Washington, D.C., for my cousin's wedding reception. I got to hang with lots of family on my dad's side and I visited the Library of Congress with an old roommate. We saw the amazing reading room and did some fun little learning activities around the exhibits. Very nerdy stuff. Perfect for me. Thank you so much, Maya, for

but I'm still here.I just have some random thoughts today.First, I absolutely love when the UPS man delivers packages to my library. It's just like Christmas! I open the boxes and inside are beautiful, wonderful, brand-new books. It's pretty much the best part of my job.Second, spring is a glorious time of year. Today I drove over the mountain and smiled when I saw the gorgeous splashes of

Yes, I know. I have been so sadly lacking in updates. Frankly, I don't think much in my life right now is worth blogging about. Plus, when I read other people's blogs, I realize how much better every other person on the planet is at blogging than me. (That is probably an overstatement. I mean, at least I strive to spell words correctly. That must make me better than some people on the planet.)

One of my book fettishes is fairy tale adapatations. I love it when an auther takes a traditional fairy tale, then modernizes it, gives it a new twist, puts in a different setting, etc. By far, the most adapted fairy tale I have found is Cinderella. The whole plot is just so easily applied to any time period and any setting. I just read a book called A Countess Below Stairs, by Eva Ibbotson. I

I have just decided that there are some great bonuses to working in a small town. One of the older residents of Gurley just told me a story about why Gurley has no jail.So, this young man got tired of being locked up every weekend for being drunk, so he took a big chain from the lumbermill, attached it to a freight train and to the little jail building. The jail, of course, went flying down the

Gurley, the town where I work, has a street called Elvis Presley Blvd.Half of the people that come into the library ask if we have the Twilight books.The scenic drive to work, though a half hour long, is absolutely gorgeous in the spring.I filled in at another branch this morning and got to work with one of my favorite people!When I work at other branches, I get to ransack their DVD

I must be doing well with my new job. I must be doing well, because they have me running a tiny branch for a couple weeks ALL BY MYSELF! It's all me. No one else. Scary. Ok, well, I do have the phone-a-friend lifeline if disaster strikes. But still, for all the everyday things, I'm by myself. And I have been out here by myself for the past couple days now and everything has run smoothly. No angry

It must be time for an update. Because I had exciting things happen!First of all, I got a job! Yay for employment! I'll be working for the public library as an branch library assistant. It'll be part-time at first, but they're hoping to have me working full-time soon. They're gonna use me as a floater, sending me to whatever branch needs me, so I'll get to drive all over the county.

I made it back to Alabama. It was an exciting trip. Exciting in a bad way.Thursday morning, my roomie, Maya, and I get in her car to make our way up to Salt Lake. We had plenty of time, or we would have had plenty of time if it hadn't started snowing like nobody's business! So instead, we slowly inch up to the Salt Lake airport. I make it about 45 minutes before my flight left. Still would have

Well, it's certainly been a while since my last post. I really have no excuse. I've been working and going to school, but I haven't been super busy.I have two days of college class left. It's amazing. I can hardly believe it. I think I'm in denial. Next semester won't even be a semester. No more thinking like that.So, I should probably share what's going on in my life.

The girls decided that we are going to throw a Halloween party. So, we went shopping last night to get costumes. I decided to go simple and be a librarian. I bought cheap granny glasses and a chain to attach to them. I'm going to wear my nametag from work and my new plaid skirt. It will be great!Here's me, Suzie and Jenny trying on hats at the costume shop (AKA Party City).

Friday night, me and the roomies went up to Thanksgiving Point to the Cornbelly's corn maze. Dang, was it ever fun! I even went through the haunted corn maze and the giant blow-up haunted beast. I guess I'm less of a wuss than I think I am. It did help that Maya was more freaked out than me, cause I'd just laugh when she would scream. We also went through the big unhaunted corn maze, which was

We finally got the internet for real at our house. The cable guy came the other day and put in the cable for our TV, and also a cable for internet, but we had to get a router so more than just one person could connect. So tonight Maya, Jenny and I headed over to Best Buy and got a wireless router. Then we came home and Jenny set it up all by herself. Go Jenny! And now we have real internet, not

And I have been there for at least 2 years.Moving on.I really like my new roommates. We get along quite swimmingly. Our favorite things to do together are watch 24 and play Rock Band.

In an effort to update my blog more frequently and because I'm super bored today, here is a post.One of my hobbies is reading books. However, whenever people ask what kind of books I like to read, I'm always at a loss of what to say. I never really thought that I had a favorite genre.Lately, I've been into historical fiction. I've just started this book about an ex-gladiator who becomes king of

I have found that summer is much more unbearable when I have to live in the heat. I've been spoiled with nicely air-conditioned apartments at college, but this summer I'm not so lucky. The house where I live is un-air-conditioned. It's not hard to get my room fairly cool at night, because I have a window unit, but when I get back from work, after a day with the unit turned off, my room is

Because next time I go home, it will be a more permanent move.I'm pretty excited about this trip, though. Our family reunion is next week in the Smoky Mountains.

And after spring term, I'll have 3 classes left to take in my college career! Only one more semester! I'm excited!Course, I got lots to do. I have to find housing for fall semester.

I just got back from a short roadtrip. It was quite fun. Dorthy, my roommate came up with the idea of going down to Manti to go to the temple there. So we did. There were supposed to be four of us going, but our friend Beth couldn't make it. So it was just Dorthy, Joe and me. Dorthy and Joe did an endowment session and I went and did baptisms.

Today was the first day of class for spring term. I had Biology at 9 and Latin at 10. Biology was typically boring and unlikeable, despite our poor TA trying so hard to make it sound interesting. I did, however, get a kick out of the email the TAs sent later today. Most especially this line:"Tomorrow we will begin learning BIOIOGY!!"Maybe tomorrow we will also begin learning how to spell.

I'm in the process of moving right now. All my finals are done; most of my stuff is packed. All that's left is to do some heavy duty transporting of my stuff to the new place and some equally heavy duty cleaning to the old place. At the moment, my crap is sitting in the living room, taking up massive amounts of space. It's taking up more space than usual because I have to move kitchen supplies

I'm mostly finished with finals. I just have my Othello performance on Wednesday. My two test finals I took today. I decided to opt out of taking my New Testament final because I already have a B+ in the class and we can drop our lowest test score, including the final. Based on previous test scores, I'd probably make about a B if I were to take the final, so I don't think taking it would really

Ok, so I've changed my layout. Now I'm thinking I need to change my title. I'm open to suggestions. Maybe something to do with libraries or the English language. Or books. Maybe all three. Like I said, I'm open to suggestions.

I have decided that it is time.Time for a new blog layout.So, today I checked out my friend, Lindsay's, new blog. I decided that I really liked the layout she had and so I visited the site that she got it from: Pyzam.com. They have about a million layouts, but I narrowed my search down by looking at green ones. I looked at a bunch of those and found 7 that I really like. Here are links to the 7,

I got a treat today. Sister Roberts from the home ward is in town with her daughter. She gave me a call last night and invited me out to lunch today. So I got to go to Brick Oven and have their amazing homemade root beer. I love Sister Roberts! She's like a second mom to me and it was nice to be mothered a little this weekend. Thank goodness for the small things.

Here's a hilarious story that my good friend, Nancy, shared with me last week.How I Met My WifeAnyone who really knows me will understand why I got such a kick out of that.

So, continuing from my previous post, here's more books that influenced me as a child.My Side of the Mountainby Jean Craighead GeorgeThis book introduced me to what I like to call the survival genre. You know, those books like The Cay or the Swiss Family Robinson. I think I secretly always wanted to do something similar to what Sam does in this book, but I don't know nearly enough about living in

So on our message board at work, we got to talking about children's books and I ended up making a big long list of Juvenile/YA fiction that has impacted my life. I thought I'd share, seeing as how my sister does book reports on her blog. We'll start with the picture books. Note that these are all books that I first read (or had read to me) as a child.Caps for Saleby Esphyr SlobodkinaFirst read

I had a good weekend. I saw some movies, did some shopping, read some books. Pretty good.So, today at work this girl called about a recalled book. She couldn't turn it in on the recall due date because she was having a baby at the time. Needless to say, I waived her fine. Or I would have, if the computer had shown that she had one. Cause it didn't. So it all turned out ok in the end.We have these

So, the big moment is finally in sight. I'm finally graduating from college in December. I haven't actually officially applied yet so nothing is permanently set in stone. But what looks like is gonna happen is I will take a few classes in the fall but do the walking/ceremony type stuff in August. I got all motivated and went to a meeting with an academic adviser and figured it all out today.Wow,

I have to move in the spring. My beautiful, gorgeous apartment is turning into, *gasp*, a guy apartment. I'm being forced to move out of an apartment I love so some stupid messy boys can come trash the place. No offense to boys, but they will ruin the place. There is a ray of hope, though. I've talked to some girls in my ward and I have a housing option. There's a little house called "The Hobbit

So, while I was on Facebook a little while ago, I was just looking at random stuff on there and I found a post that my youngest brother made. It was while reading that post that I realized that my little brother is incredible. I thought, When did that happen? How did I miss it? Have I really missed that much being out here in Utah instead of Alabama? I have such strong memories of him being this

I'm sitting at my desk, listening to pretty songs and feeling melancholy.I just heard that Gordon B. Hinckley, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and prophet, seer and revelator, has passed away. My heart hurt to hear the news.He was a truly great man, who loved serving the Lord and loved serving His children. He was old and had lived a good life, so it's not a bad thing

Not much has been going on lately with me. I haven't posted in awhile because I'm lazy, not because I've been so incredibly busy.Classes are going pretty okay. I feel slightly overwhelmed in my Early Modern English class; most of the people in there know so much more than me. We've had to do these stylistic analyses of Othello and mine are so bare bones. I'm just not good at analyzing things.

Look at me being all social and stuff.A guy in my ward, Nathan, took me out to see the musical "Little Women." The play was amazing! It made me miss being in musicals in high school.

And what a Monday it has been!Last night my nose started running and I started sneezing. So, of course, I wake up this morning with a full-blown case of the common cold. I had work at nine and since I wasn't deathly ill or having a near-death experience, I couldn't skip it. Besides, I take pride in never work.

So, we started getting the newspaper recently and today the Toys'R'Us Big Toy book arrived. I looked through it, feeling slightly nostalgic about being a kid and looking through catalogs, especially before Christmas. As such, I have decided to post my Christmas wish list. By no means do I ever expect to obtain all the things on my list. I'm just trying to be a kid again.Kristen's Christmas Wish

Tonight I went to Amanda's bridal shower. It was so wonderful, you can't even imagine. I finally got to hang out with all my best friends here in Utah and I haven't gotten to do that since Jamie's wedding. I really miss spending time with Lindsay and Jessica and Amanda and Jamie. We never really get to now that we all live separately. Tonight it felt like I had come home and was with family. Such

I have big plans this weekend. Well, for Saturday anyways.Saturday morning the roommates and I are going to Magleby's for their all-you-can-eat French toast which is truly one of the finer things in life. I'm hoping this goes well and won't be awkward. I'm still not bosom buddies with my new roommates.Saturday afternoon I will be going up to West Jordan to visit this little place called Gardner's

This past Friday, I had an interesting day at work. Interesting as in bad.Thursday night, the library computer system decided to glitch. All the daily reports from the system were therefore sent to the printer in Circulation instead of to their designated department. In addition to this, all the reports squished together into one massive, unreadable, almost useless super-report that printed 7

So, I made my first dinner for dinner group. And it turned out fabulous! I made, you guessed it, lasagna, which turned out to be a real hit! Thanks to Mom's homemade recipe, of course! Thanks Mom!We also had french bread, store-bought from Smith's. Not quite as glamorous as the homemade lasagna, but still pretty good. I have a loaf left over. I should get some olive oil and make bread dip for it!

I think the highlights of my life are dinner group and work. Dinner group is great, probably the most social part of my life. I feel comfortable there, for the most part. I'm really glad that I decided to do it. It's most definitely worth it.Work is the other good part of my life. I fit in so well there and know everyone. It's perfect. And though sometimes it gets stressful, like when I have 50

I have a kitty-friend.When I first went to my dinner group, I noticed this cat sitting in front of an apartment door. He was so cute and furry that I felt compelled to touch and pet him. And so now, every time I see him, I'll pet him. Last night, I reached down to him to let him smell me and he pushed his head up against my hand! He likes me! And he rubbed himself against my legs, too. It's nice

I just finished watching the devotional for today. President Hinckley spoke. It's strange that such a little old man has such influence for good over my life. He's 97 years old and I don't expect him to last much longer as our prophet, but I will miss him so much when he passes on. He speaks so powerfully yet so lovingly to us. And he has such a light in his eyes that I cannot doubt his faith.

I just now realized that this afternoon, after finishing up an assignment in one of the computer labs on campus, I neglected to remove my jump drive from the computer I was using. Of course, I hadn't turned in my assignment electronically yet, so I began panicking when I realized what I had done. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to look up the computer lab's phone number online, then call

Now that school has started, I'll probably have more to blog about. That's just the way my life works.Classes have been a bit of a hassle to figure out, but I'm almost set, I think. I've ended up dropping Latin. It was causing me far too much stress on only the second day of class, so I'll just take 102 next semester and finish in the summer. This means I have 4 credits to fill up, so I tried to

Right at this moment, I feel that my entire academic experience has been useless. I'm feeling completely overwhelmed by my Latin 201 class. I don't remember much of anything and I just don't know how I'm going to get through it. And it's only the second day! What's the point of taking all these classes if I'm not going to retain anything? It's such a waste of money. Ugh. I hate school. I just

Lately, I'm being inundated with new things. New job (I'm a secretary now!), new roommates, new school year, etc. I'm way excited about my new job. I'm one of the Holds/Recalls/Book Repair secretaries now and all of the stuff I have to learn how to do is a bit overwhelming, but I'll eventually get a grip on it all. I'll miss being up at the front desk, of course. I grew so much as a person in

Yes, I went to Oregon last week for my roommate, Jamie's wedding. It was very fun. We drove all night last Wednesday and arrived in Salem (near Portland) at about 10:30 Thursday morning.That evening, everyone went to Sizzler's for the "rehearsal dinner." There really wasn't any rehearsing done, of course, we just ate food and enjoyed good company.After Sizzler's, we all headed over to Jamie's

So, according to The Princeton Review, BYU's library is ranked third in the nation among university libraries. Harvard and Princeton are numbers 1 and 2. Just a few years ago, we were ranked number one.I'm so proud that I work at such a prestigious place! And I go to the number one stone-cold sober school, too!

I went to see Harry Potter 5 on Saturday. In my opinion, it was better than the book! I didn't really like The Order of the Phoenix book. Too many angsty teenagers. So I was somewhat surprised that I enjoyed the movie so much. Maybe cause they left out a bunch of stuff.Anyhoo, while watching the movie, I was just really impressed with the soundtrack. So I decided to download it from iTunes. From

It seems I have a slight cold. I'm all stuffy and my nose is running out the wazoo, so it's either a cold or I'm severely allergic to Utah.I've had a pretty social weekend so far. I went to the store yesterday morning with Jamie, went to work, then went to see Whale Rider at BYU's International Cinema with some friends. Afterwards, we went to The Malt Shop for some milkshakes.

I'm in love with my new phone.I just got it today. It arrived in a brown cardboard box on my doorstep around 4:00 this afternoon. I set it all up just in time to leave for work (After calling Mother several hundred times to figure out how to activate it and stuff). It was pouring down rain so my wonderful roommate, Jamie, drove me up to the library.While at work, I finished putting all my numbers

It's been awhile since I've written on here. Really, my life isn't that exciting.Seems like everyone's getting married, lately. My roommate, my coworkers, people I know from school. I'm not, of course. Just lots of people around me.A friend of mine from work, Kim, is going to set me up with a friend of hers. I haven't met him yet, cause he's busy being an EFY counselor. He's from Alabama, and

Last night I had a friend over to watch a movie. A four-hour-long movie. It was an adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's book, North and South, done by the BBC in 2004. The plot is very reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice: strong feminine protagonist, misunderstood (by the female) male protagonist, male falls in love with female but female thinks he's lower than dirt. There was even a proposal scene

This is a momentous occasion. Not terribly momentous though. I am blogging for the first time from my new laptop! I've had it for more than a week, though; it would've been way more exciting if I blogged the day I got it.Tomorrow I wake up and head back out west. (At 6 in the morning. Blegh.) I'm fairly excited about this trip; I do love going out to Utah almost as much as I love coming home.

Computer, computer, computer, computer!Can you tell how excited I am!And in other news, I just found out that my roommate and my good friend Jennica are getting married on like, the same day. Which

So.It's getting to be that time. The time where I get a new computer! Yay! It's been four long years and my good ol' dell desktop has been good to me, but it needs to retire.I'm gonna get a laptop! I've been looking at the Dell Inspiron E1505. It'll run Windows Vista and I'll customize it to have 1 gig of RAM and a 120 GB hard drive. That'll make it just under 800 dollars. Course, this isn't set

Lately, I've been checking out all the movie trailers on Apple's website. It's rather fun to find some of the more obscure movies and now I want to see them, too. So, here is a list of movies that I want to see, complete with links to the trailers.

I came home this week. My plane flight wasn't that great. As a matter of fact, it pretty much sucked. I sat there on the plane just hoping that somehow we could instantly be transported to the ground, like in Star Trek. The turbulence was making me that sick. In fact, I started wishing that I had never even got on that plane. But when I finally made it into Nashville, and my family was there and

My roommate, Eva, had a really sad tragedy happen this weekend. Her stepbrother committed suicide. He and his wife were having some problems and she was filing for divorce. I'd just ask that everyone keep my roommate and her family in their prayers.

I finished mine today. I get back about $400 from both federal and state taxes. Yes! I'm gonna put most of it into savings, but I'll keep a little for me.Recently, I have come to the conclusion that I idealize boys and relationships. Which may explain why I have problems with those things. So I've decided that I need to mentally stay away from boys, until I can get over my idealizations. Much

It's not that great, but I thought I'd share my meager offering.Oh, what is the worth of a soul?It is beyond the bright jewels of the earthIt is deeper than the depths of the seaIt reaches far beyond the limits of human understanding But I begin to understandWhen I hear a baby's laughWhen I gaze at the mountainsWhen I touch the petals of a flower I begin to

My phone works again! Apparently the battery was just taking a short sabbatical. It returned Tuesday evening, just before I left to see about getting a new battery. Maybe it didn't want to be replaced.Anyhoo, I pressed the button to try to turn it on and it randomly flashed on for a second before turning off again. Very suspicious. So I plugged in the charger and tried to turn it on again. Voila!

Especially since they're getting married in August and that means I'll be out here for the reception! Yes!In the meantime, I get to go home for spring. That means I'll be in Alabama next month!
