This week has been the longest week ever, but the weekend will be here in a matter of hours and I get to spend a nice, cold weekend with my family. Around the Christmas tree with hot chocolate in hand, we plan on watching the Polar Express this Saturday. So Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone!
Today is only Tuesday...but it feels like this week is going by so SLOWLY! I just need a pick me up. You know something to make me smile and laugh away the gloomy gray from outside, and I know what it is!
Yes, this video is so funny! To think that even the Lord of Darkness likes to get down and funky sometimes, just brings a big smile to my face! Hope everyone else is having a great week!
Oh yes it is Friday Eve again...and tonight I have to make a turkey pot pie. I have never made one so I hope it comes out ok. It is cold and frosty here and it really feels like Christmas is coming. It makes me want to cuddle up with a good scary movie and a cup of hot chocolate. This weekend is going to go by fast. I can feel that already but I am ready for whatever comes. I hope that everyone's week has gone by smoothly and I wish the Christmas spirit gets you and makes you smile!
Well, the turkey is done and the football games are over. The tree is up, stockings hung, decorations everywhere. The Christmas season is upon us and it is time to be merry and happy! It is actually getting colder here which is a treat in itself. So on this last day of November, I want to be the first to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! And remember that it is not the gift but the thought that counts and books are always a GREAT gift!
It is Friday Eve...What does that mean you ask? It is a celebration of the fact that tomorrow is the end of the work week and the weekend is approaching. But this Friday holds the rest of my birthday present in its hands....NEW MOON OPENS! Yes, I am one of those people but it is ok I go to meetings about the obsession problem. So enjoy your Friday Eve and let's have fun at what we do people!
Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that New Moon comes to theaters on Friday! And we here at the library are just a pumped up about it as is most of the teens that come into the library. (Not to mention how pumped up their moms and eveyone else who read the books are.) So I thought that I would grace my blogsite with just a little picture of Jasper Cullen and leave a passing thought ... Only a Vampire can love you forever! (Yea, I'm Team Edward, but Jasper can warm your heart and mess with your mind. And who does not love that in a man?)
And ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the finish line....and the crowd goes wild, "AHHHH!"
I am glad that I had the opportunity to take this course and learn new things. I think that the most interesting thing that I learned from this course had to be the lessons about Flickr and Delicious. Even though I had used them in the past, I really got to learn how to use them connected to other outlets. This I believe will help me to be better organized and more creative. As always for me, learning is an everyday process. We learn something new everyday even when we are not trying. Today, I learned that Jingle Bells was originally written as a Thanksgiving song and not as a Christmas song. (Yes, some people will say that it is just useless Jeopardy knowledge, but it is knowledge just the same.)
From this course, we are going to start using more of the technology that we got to play/learn. We started today to investigate the possibility of having a Facebook page for the library and I have been talking to the director about adding the Zoho to the public Internet computers' favorites so that it will be an easy access point for the patrons.
I think the course was well put together and was well rounded in the information supplied. If I had to change anything, I think some of the articles presented were long. Maybe if a suitable, shorter, more condensed article that presented the same type of material could be found, then possibly that could be substituted. I think the inclusion of videos throughout the course was really great and helped when reading the material was new or hard to grasp.
If another program such as this is created and offered, I would definitely sign up and take it. Thank you so much again for the opportunity to take this course online and at my own pace. It is really nice to not feel rushed and have the ability to take your time and sometimes even help others to understand how to do the steps in the lessons.
And just a little bit of useless trivia for the ending...the very first music video played on MTV was Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles. (And yes, I stayed up the watch it!)
