Thinking a lot about Canadian metadata sovereignty led to wanting to know more about the history of national union catalog development. Just found two sweet sweet sources. I remember UTLAS and AMICUS and have the protest letters when OCLC got it all. This goes a bit deeper.

The gods have smiled upon me. A lake effect snow dump happened on a night my sweetie was here. You know you’re loved when you get excellent coffee in bed and a shovelling out to save your fragile osteoporotic spine.

My apologies. Perhaps put a Chuck Tingle spin on it? Wish you were here with me drinking hot morning bevs watching the sun rise over the maple and black walnut in my back yard and making more fun of the world.

I was today years old when I learned MY NAME is on a urinalysis tool. (No, YOU’RE an analysis tool!)

love the cats. Also loving the chartreuse walls. All the cool kids have been painting with it

My brother bought out his biz partner. Their sports bar/wing joint in Scarborough is now Billy’s WingCo. New name, same Billy’s. Toronto friends check out the karaoke every Sat night. His “I Did It My Way” closer not to be missed. So proud of him!

Ropering was swell. Facing one’s fears and doing shit anyway has never not worked for me.

Pulled the tickle trunk out of storage to check on my Mrs Roper costume. Delighted to be invited to a romp to kick off Pride month. I love a good rampage.

fwiw the kirsh is fine in macerated cherries because I used the boozy liquid to create a compote with the cherries I soaked for 48 hrs.

I have extra jars. Want one? I will bring one into the office today, I will be on campus. DM me whenever you’d like to pick it up, 5th floor Weldon. Sorry no leftover kirsch. The stuff is spendy AF and LCBO only had one (harsh!) brand.

I made a bona fide one for my sweetie’s birthday. Very boozy. FWIW Metro on Adelaide and Huron sells actual sour cherry preserves.

Today in #metadata #librarian land: My inner 12 yr old is giggling at more BDSM metaphors in #authoritycontrol. I remembered the "Harvard workaround" minimizing scripting tasks. Sometimes I think I should hire @buckdown.bsky.social again to update infodiva.com logo with leather & whips. Kidding.

Digging out the car to get pre-holiday closure groceries and the is BEFORE the big part of the storm is expected.

New glasses! For those of you who know me, the curls are still naturally there, I just get bored and go not curly sometimes (never straight only gaily forward)

I feel you on chaos. Spent a year zero furniture, mattress on floor,card table dining. Hired designer when it was clear I was over my head. Lived in it while the electrical was redone, interior painted, received all the stuff myself to save on storage. Not like yours but gives me a sense. Hugs.

Surprise! The boneless skinless was only skinless. My bad on reading labels. Took too long to make with the added deboning. Tastes awesome but no longer hungry. Two bites and it all goes into containers. Still, victory!
