2 great articles

I read Jerry Adler's Dining Out: Back to the Future in the 9/6/04 issue of The New Yorker (which is a fabulous food issue, btw). This article was about Futurism and their cookbooks and about an Italian restaurant which has reconfigured these impossible recipes into something possible! Many of these ideas from pre-WWII have made it to the faddy food restaurants!

On a different note, I read The Blended Librarian in the July/Aug issue of CRLNews. Many great ideas for the future and a great bibliography of additional articles I will need to get!

The almost end of the second week

I input my first record into Infomine and had Margaret Mooney critique it. She made a few suggestions and I will have my offical advanced training tomorrow am via phone! I will spend alot of time next week adding entries.

I have looked over the fashion plates--what is especially interesting is the diversity of publications; we have them from all over, even Spain! Next week will be devoted to writing the finding aid. We are running into snafus with the Content DM interface, so it looks like that will have to be put on the back burner.

I tried out GEMS and promptly threw my back out. My chiropractor his seeing me 2x this week! I am still going to give it a go; he advised me on certain apparatus to NOT use! I also visited the Yoga for Living studio in Clovis (www.yogaforlivingstudios.com) and took a basic class! I am definitely joining and plan to take 3-4 classes/week! The studio is fab--purple painted walls, candles in the studio; great ambiance!

I have found the ideal place to do my professional reading---Marianna's soccer practices. I sit in the shade, watch her and read my librarian literature.
