Where I’m not:<\/p>\n

1. Throwing Muses\/50 Foot Wave, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY<\/p>\n

Yeah, so it turns out that I was kind of lying when I said I wasn’t all that disappointed<\/a> not to be going to this show. Of course, it doesn’t help that I’ve had the 50 Foot Wave records on repeat this whole week. I’d listened to them a bit a while ago but hadn’t much recently and holy crap they are amazing. Much harder than Kristin Hersh’s solo stuff, and even harder than much Throwing Muses, but in a wall-of-driving-guitar-and-drums way rather than an intricately-woven-guitar-and-drums way. I like it. Which makes me even more mopey because 50 Foot Wave don’t play out much and I’ve never seen them live, bah.<\/p>\n

But it *is* late, and I’m already exhausted. For whatever reason Spring Forward is really kicking my butt this year. Maybe it’s the morning darkness, but this has been a long week. Who’s idea was it to move the time change up to March, anyway?<\/p>\n

2. ACRL National Conference<\/a>, Seattle, WA<\/p>\n

Yes, the biannual library nerd-a-thon! It’s far away and expensive and inconveniently right in the middle of our semester, so I decided not to go. CUNY follows the public school holidays which means that our spring break is in April, not now like everywhere else. (Which I don’t hate at all, actually, since it makes childcare easier.) Also I thought that this would be a really busy week for instruction in our library.<\/p>\n

But it turns out that we don’t have that many classes this week (we’ve scheduled most for after midterms, in a week or so). And I’ve been thinking a lot of research thoughts recently and really jonesing for an academic conference. Yes, had you any doubt about the depth of my nerdiness, I’m pretty sure I just dispelled it.<\/p>\n

So I am using twitter to follow the conference<\/a>. I guess living vicariously isn’t so bad. And it is much, much cheaper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
