Om mig Equal parts book geek and geek geek. Luckily for me, by day I get to mess around with the computers in a damned fine library. By night, I'm an information science grad student. But if I said any more I'd have to kill you...

Tag combining minimalist, work combining maximalist.

Profile pic is an actual photo. No, really.

Please note: I've suspended work on the combiners' Greasemonkey script -- the old version shouldn't do any harm, but please disable it if you're having trouble. If you want to work on something similar for new-style work pages, I'd be happy to bounce ideas around, but I'm not currently planning to do it myself, as the distinction between (new) works and debris pages has changed my workflow too much.

Either way, I'm glad I learned a bit about GM. It's a fun system to play with, and if you're new to it, there are a ton of examples at userscripts.org.

Om mitt bibliotek

The best thing I've ever read about love is the lead essay in Anne Fadiman's Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader. It's all about the fact that passion is a fine thing, but you know you're really in it for the long haul on the day you finally combine libraries. We started to mix when we realized we'd never keep track of whose books lived on which shelf, but we didn't go whole hog until we got the Cuecat.

The LT account is in my name because I'm the house dork by a very slim margin, but the books here are all utterly ours. Except for the really weird stuff. Ask the spouse about those...

Interests include comics, cookbooks, code, swords.

A few starting points:
* Our gang: Graphic Novel Book Group selections.
* Books that make me go "huh": Included In The Present Classification.
* About the screen name: Thwack!.

As promised from the conversation last week on "Site Talk", here's my review of Dali & I. I never got a response to the e-mail that I sent to Amanda Lear, in case you're curious, but it could still happen.

Enjoy!

Thanks, Amy, for the comment. It's a virgin video. Ha, ha. iMovie makes it easy and makes me look good.

Thank you so much for answering my questions about how to review bvooks and letting me know the policies for obtaining reviews for my own work. It was good advice and I'm glad you took the time to write. I am new to library thing and certainly don't want to leave a bad impression.

Sabreuse, thanks again for your advice on FAQ regarding under-13's. I see you've listed Naomi Novik as one of your fav authors. I recently bought (and read) her Temeraire series for my library's teen read section, and loved them!

Thanks for getting back to me in the Talk section. I appreciate your help and will look into the Groups section for my book club.

Ciao bella,
Mateo

P.S. If you're curious, I have another LibraryThing account for the Preservation Trust of Springfield (Massachusetts) which is committed to promoting, protecting, and preserving the built architecture of Springfield (which has a wonderful housing stock of 1870-11910 Victorians). Our user name is "Preservationtrust".

Thanks for your reply to my post - it was helpful and enlightening.

I've made my first batch of bacon from Charcuterie! It is fantastic. Mine was a wee bit salty on the ends, but otherwise is great. I opted for the oven-roasting at the end because it's simply too cold to smoke right now.

I've started a second batch of bacon and have added 1/2 a cup of maple syrup and a few shots of Jack Daniels for extra flavor.

If you're buying a whole pork belly, you'll probably ask, "self, what else can I make with this pork belly?" (other than the 43 other obvious things from Charcuterie). We tried this recipe:

Incredibly good - we ended up subbing cilantro stems because our grocery didn't have fresh coriander. This stuff is fantastic but very rich.

I'm thinking about trying some pancetta next...

Thanks for the welcome! I'm ridiculously excited to have this job.

We share The Complete Guide to Sewing (so amazing for Readers Digest book) and The Eyre Affair, which makes me happy.

inlägg gjort av sonyagreen vid 10:54 pm (EST) Feb 29, 2008

We'll have to compare bacon/sausage results as we get through the Charcuterie book!

I noticed you had a tag "needs cover" - you might want to check out this topic:

http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...

Tim came up with a rough search that finds the books for you without having to tag them.

=)

Thanks for the enthusiasm! I'm so glad I was introduced to graphic novels. What is your favorite? I would love a recommendation?

inlägg gjort av belleyang vid 8:25 pm (EST) Sep 10, 2007

Since I didn't even start until I was 30, I can hardly say no

Curses! That's encouraging! Another daydream now... :)

When I was at Tulane, the prof leading the fencing club was in his late fifties, BUT. He was on the Hungarian Olympic team in his yute, and certainly never took sabbaticals a couple decades long. Ironically, I was then in my twenties and already felt desperately aged and ossified--back home, even when I started at fifteen the trainers were muttering about lost opportunities, forfeited flexibility. Ideally, they'd get you at 8-9.

Oh, well.

Har! Welllll... I learned the hard way not to jump to conclusions... :)

You should get back to it sometime!

Too hard on the knees... I'm nearly 20 years away from the last time I swashbuckled. But I do get fleeting regrets. Do you train actively? Would you advise an old lady of 38 to reapproach the piste?

inlägg gjort av LolaWalser vid 11:47 am (EST) Aug 28, 2007

Aha! I wondered about your user name, but then, I am so often satisfied to wonder silently... :)

I fenced when I was in high school (though not high-school related--we don't have school sports' teams).

Hail, fellow Buffista!

Yes, I'll see what shape these old, old books are in when I go home in September--I wouldn't be surprised if most disintegrate on touch. In the meantime, I found another way to entertain myself--upload the library of a dead man here on LT!

See you around!
