À mon sujetI've recently finished my Master's degree in Library & Information Science, and am now the Youth Services Supervisor at a small-town public library.

Favorite quotes:

"To create one’s own world in any of the arts takes courage."
– Georgia O’Keeffe

"A thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed,
but a thing created is loved before it exists."
- G. K. Chesterton

"I am not young enough to know everything."
– Oscar Wilde

"You can’t get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."
– C.S. Lewis

"Don’t instill, or allow anybody else to instill into the hearts and minds of your girls the idea that marriage is the chief end of life. If you do, don’t be surprised if they get engaged to the first empty, useless fool they come across."
– William Booth

"In a sense sickness is a place, more instructive than a trip to Europe.
It's always a place where there's no company, where nobody can follow."
- Flannery O’Connor

"Acquire the spirit of peace, and thousands around you will be converted."
– St. Seraphim of Serov

"How the intelligent young do fight shy of the mention of God! It makes them feel both bored and superior."
- "The Vicar," I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith

"And now, with God’s help, I shall become myself."
– Søren Kierkegaard

"Vocatus Atque Non Vocatus Deus Aderit"

À propos de ma bibliothèqueA personal library is such an intimate thing, isn't it? You can know more about me from seeing which books I collect than you might glean from an hour of conversation. If I'm interested in it, it's here: the children's and young adult lit that you might expect from an incipient children's librarian, as well as all of the other stuff -- random paperbacks of various classics, slightly more impressive copies of the Little, Brown & Company editions of Louisa May Alcott's works from the early 1900's, fantasy, theatre books, mysteries, Shakespeare, Eastern Orthodoxy, cookbooks, "Calvin and Hobbes". . .

"My Library" consists of books that I own, though now, with Collections, I am slowly adding books I have read in the past few years but do not own.

He he he. yes, don't worry. Even if I'm gone, my dad can forward anything you send to me!! EEEEEEEE! I look forward to IT!!! (he he he it sounds like an ebay commercial "what ever IT is... find IT in ebay"

sorry to hear your house is a wreck but I'm sure that room by room, you will figure it out! Its your home!!!
I figured. I think it helps if you live in the NY area. The book is more meaningful historically.

You know, like Woody Allen movies. :o)
Hey foggi, did you like the Gods of Manhattan? Because the kids are seeing Scott Mebus today. (Alas, I'm still sick and have reluctantly promised to be good and stay home. :o(
Hi foggi!

I didn't get a chance to send you a message yesterday, but I got the book! Thank you so very very much! I'm already about halfway through it! I'll see whether JP wants to read it before sending it back to you.
Thank you again!!!!
SQUEEEE!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You have completely squashed any hopes I had of getting anything done today but believe me, I am not complaining! Even though you said no rush on returning it, I wouldn't be surprised if I was done in time to ship it back Monday. Thanks again -- you're the best!!
Hi foggidawn - thanks for taking the time to leave a comment

I feel I have expressed myself badly and caused offense where none was intended.

Believe me I have occasionally come across people (thankfully rarely) where I would rather not be on the same planet let alone in the same room - I just wanted to make the point that in RL we DON'T always have the equivalent of a block button and as an adult have to deal with people we may detest or find offensive. Sometimes there are no easy solutions and standing on principle must be weighed against the potential hurt we may cause to others we may hold in higher regard.

That is not to say that when there is an option in the VW it should never be exercised - I'm just saying that I hope it is the exception to the norm. It was not my intent to accuse any particular member of intolerance and
wholesale blocking.

I'm sure the responses of both yourself and ejj1955 are well founded and I am certainly not the moral arbiter of anyone else's conscience (and have no wish to be so)

Specifics aside I do often see angry debate and a offense taken where really we could all maybe take a breath and move on. And generally I prefer the idea of a free and frank exchange to the notion that we all just turn our backs on the unacceptable and leave people shouting unchallenged and oblivious in the dark.

Regards

Please check my gallery, and I challenge you to find my wife in the newest photo.
Thanks, your pup is cute to!
Hey Foggi! Lol...it's ok. It was actually for the holidays, but thanks for the recommendations. I'll be sure to look for them now. I tried catching up on some classics instead. I'll let ya know when I finish any of these. Thanks again!! Hope you're doing great! :)

P.S. Know anything about the groupread?
Thanks. I run my commentary on my thread in the 75 Book Challenge group, if you want to check it out. "Roni 'ncats is back in 2010"
Saw your comments on the YA what we're reading in January thread and had to check you out! I am envious of your early reading of the latest DWJ book, since I will have to wait until April. Dark Lord of Derkholm is definitely a favorite of mine!

I have to get a copy of Dragon Spear as well, since I really enjoyed the first two in the series.

I enjoyed the story of the grail in Gaiman's book as well--overall, I didn't enjoy the book as much as some of his longer work.

I have the first three books of the Attolia series here in my TBR pile--maybe they'll end up part of my Off the Shelf reading.

Ender's Game I read decades ago, when it was still novel and fresh.

I'm a school psychologist who works with elementary school children. I've NEVER stopped reading children's fantasy and science fiction, and keep several shelves of it in my office for like-minded students to check out.
Thanks for the invite to the Books Off the Shelf group! I'm taking a somewhat different approach to it than most, but I think it will do me - and my TBR list - a world of good! Hope your 2010 is off to a great start!
:)
Thank you for the information. I will have to check out an Orthodox service in the new year.

Hope you have a wonderful New Year.
I saw your post regarding Orthodox and was wondering if you could tell me anything about The Canon of St. Andrew? Does your Church use it during Lent? I purchased the book First Fruits of Prayer for the lent season. So I have a few weeks before I start to read it. I never read anything from the Orthodox side before.

God Bless.

Foggi,

Any sign of the package from Amazon? The tracking data says it is "in transit" but also gives the expected arrival date of yesterday :-(

??

Elizabeth
I will! Thanks! So far I only have the library book, but I have a feeling I'll be buying it (I always buy Fforde books).
Hey Foggi, any good titles you'd recommend?
Thanks lovely!! I knew it was some sort of combination of those details. Will load up piccies post haste... or maybe in the next few days!!!

lots of love
xxx
I know, I know. I was still very sad to have missed you, tho. I almost wished I hadn't gone to Rhode Island that weekend just for the pleasure of finally meeting you, my dear.

We should definately go se DH together! Maybe a whole group of us could go and comandeer a whole theater? Can you imagine?? That would be a total blast!! I have to warn you tho, it can get a little anoying to watch a movie with me, just ask Bib and Mandy. I burst into tears at the end of HBP, I was so enraged. LOL

Foggi!!!!

Thanks for the love. I miss you too! I probably wont know anyone on HE anymore. I guess I'll just be the weird new girl. He he he

WAIT A MINUTE!! I forgot! I am REALLY, REALLY mad at you!! I heard this rumor---surely it can't be true---that you were in NY and didn't tell me! SURELY its not true, right? You wouldn't do that, you'd know I would want to see you, right?

Forgot to mention I just started reading The Lightning Thief - I think you were one (of many) that recommended it - and I'm really really enjoying it so far!
I finally finished it! Loved it...huge cliffhanger...you were right :(
The chatroom will stay stable all weekend. I don't want to work on the computer during the weekend. :)
We've been knocked out of chat! I think they were trying to tell me I need to get to bed! Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodnight! I'll do it here. Goodnight foggi and Espy!
Yes...I've had some of my worst experiences on the Cross Bronx Expressway. I avoid it now as I literally get panic attacks driving on it. (Sheesh, my chest is tightening just THINKING about driving on it!)

We forgot to send you home with some of the bagels and snickerdoodles. You'll have to come back now. :oP
Hey there!

Tell me when you get home. I worry. I hope you made it out of the Bronx OK!
Foggi, I will try to stop by tonight, but I just can't stay up that late. I have been setting up new computers for our school open house Wednesday, and this is my first day off since last Saturday. I am going back in tomorrow and I don't want to stay up that late tonight. I really have missed you guys!
This is the slowest week ever!! lol
I see you finished Catching Fire?! I'm so glad you caved in. Only 1/2 a star less than Hunger Games....ahhhhh!!! I'm so anxious. I hope you enjoyed it! :) I'm almost certain it'll be our next group read. Can't wait to discuss it.
I hoped you liked it! The part from his own life is sneaking into the show. When he was in boarding school, he conned his way into the Tonys and backstage by saying he was Carol Channings's son!

Have a great time on your trip and visiting with your parents! Take lots of pictures!
Hope your trip to see your parents is splendid and that you are having an amazing time. I am also glad to see you are enjoying Maisie Dobbs. M
darn
fancy the chatroom again
Thank you for bringing the Ale-8-1! It was great of you and Espy to remember. When I worked at the summer camp where Jon and I met, staff would sometimes make an "Ale-8-1 run" and drive to KY to get it. (The camp was near Seymour, IN, near the IN/KY border.) The drink holds very fond memories for me! Now it will also remind me of hanging out with wonderful LTers. Thanks again for the Ale-8-1 and a great weekend!
Thank you foggi! I'll watch for it!
p.s. One more thing... as a youth librarian maybe you can help me out... My cousin is having a book themed baby shower and I need to find a children's book/story with a corresponding gift. (Example being Goldilocks and the Three Bears with a bowl and spoon set.) I already had the idea of crocheting her a baby blanket, but do you know of any books or stories that would tie into a blanket? I was thinking of just getting Goodnight Moon and tying it into the bedtime theme but if you have any brilliant ideas I'd love the input!
Hi foggi! Sorry I didn't make it last night. I spent the whole day walking around outside and by 9:15 I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was the first day in a long time I didn't even turn on my computer! If you didn't watch it last night, maybe would could watch Order of the Phoenix on July 18.
9:00 LT time sounds great! Thanks!
Hehe!

OK, if no one puts one up by the afternoon, I'll take care of it!
Crazy question foggi,

When exactly do we start the birthday thread for MsDonna? We've been having an argument here about when exactly June 27 starts in Australia. :o)

Cristina
Hi foggi, I think you said you wanted to stay at a hotel too for our HBP weekend. I left this note for lefty:

I can't wait to come down there in July. It is only a month away! Any suggestions for a hotel? Something near you or near a theatre or somewhere in between? Something reasonably priced would be nice, but I am willing to pay a little more for cleanliness. Air conditioning is a must, but I am sure they all have that. Thanks!

I have been cruising Orbitz a bit, but I am not sure what direction to take. I will let you know what lefty says. Let me know if you have any ideas. See you in a month!
The reason I asked is because the headoffice of my company is on top of a hill in Ada. I am planning to go there some time soon.
STOP STALKING ME!
Thank you for participating in my thread. Hope to see often.

BTW...Are you near Oda, Oklahoma?
Hi there... I saw that you picked Fatherhood from my library. I thought that you may be interested in my new thread.

http://www.librarything.com/topic/66785
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I see you're working your way down, so I'll help you. ;o)
It's called "Revisiting the Fire Swamp". Below comic #357

Hope you like it!

~Cristina
Grandparents in Lville, how funny. LT has opened up a world for me. I have a bit of a time sleeping some nights and if I get up & play in LT I walk away with a list of books to try. (then I stumbled on LTers With Dogs). I am learning to handle Facebook and Flickr because of finding LT. I enjoy time travel books and recently someone told me I liked classics and fantasy but I just didn't know it. SO I might be stalking your library soon.
foggi, what part of KY? My home was western Ky, Benton, went to Murray State for a bit and we hung out at the lakes.
Thanks for droping a line foggi. It's so good to finally be able to share my passion of books. I've always been a reader, heck I read the back of shampoo bottles and cereal boxes. It's also know I'm not the only one out there who has an addiction to Harry. I'm going to start checking out the posts and hopefully I won't get lost in them. Have a good day.
Yea, I had a picture of my dog that died a year ago too, but I took a picture of my cat with books, so I decided to use that instead. The dog looks so sweet and reminds me of my other dog that died about 2 years ago. It is a great picture though!

Is the puppy your worst nightmare, or is it one of those that is quiet and loves you to death? lol I love puppies and kittens!

Yea, it's great to be back. I'm not really into the posting thing again, yet, but I'm working on it slowly... starting to talk to some people like Suge, how could I not!? Is she having issues with her posting or something, I saw someone mention it...

How's everyone been? It's weird to go to HogX and see all these new people and I'm just like... the clan is no longer dominant! You guys were like the ring masters of the forum!

I just found out about the Early Reviewers giveaway program and I think it's amazing! I wish someone had told me about it earlier cuz I think it is just the best program out there.

Best of love
Cue
By the way, your dog is adorable, s/he must be the sweetest!?
I'm having trouble accessing any forums, are you? I can post in them by clicking on a specific talk from my home page, but I can't access anything thats not on the list... I just wanted to make sure that it wasnt a me problem, lol
That's so cool foggi! Congratulations.
I got to the post office on my lunch break, so it's on its way.
I'm half way through, and I had to work late. So I'll definitely finish tomorrow. I'll try to send it on Friday afternoon.
