I did some socializing in the Boston area at a game night, saw Jim and stopped by to see my Dad (and pets), came back home to find that I was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.libraryjournal.com\/lj\/home\/885245-264\/on_ljs_june_1_cover.html.csp\">cartoonified on the cover of Library Journal<\/a>. I finally made that song that I&#8217;ve been talking about, since we&#8217;re now two months with a broken Google Map. <a href=\"http:\/\/music.metafilter.com\/4664\/Hey-Google-My-Towns-in-the-Lake\">Please listen and enjoy<\/a>. I may make a movie of it.<\/p>\n<p>I also came back thinking I had to turn right around and write a talk and drive to Utica New York today but it turns out that&#8217;s next week. The time sensors in my brain, they are a little busted. I blame May with its five weekends. Utica is next week, so I have some time. It&#8217;s 60-ish in my house today since it&#8217;s cold and rainy and the furnace has been turned off for the season. If it gets too terrible I&#8217;ll just get back into bed with the electric sheets.<\/p>\n<p>I am third in my &#8220;rundle&#8221; in the trivia league so far this season. If you really like geeky stats stuff you can see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.learnedleague.com\/profiles\/westj.shtml\">the rest of my stats here<\/a>. If I stay in the top six I&#8217;ll move up to the next level, otherwise I&#8217;ll footle around in this level some more. It&#8217;s been fun playing &#8220;no looking stuff up&#8221; trivia, but man have I become dependent on ready internet access for a lot of my knowledge lately. Almost every time I miss a question I&#8217;m certain I could type two or three words into Wikipedia and find it. I&#8217;d love to try a trivia league where you could look stuff up with the presumption that the questions would be so tough that it wouldn&#8217;t help. Maybe that wouldn&#8217;t be trivia then. In any case, it&#8217;s a quick and fun distraction from the book-finishing that is occupying the rest of my waking brain function. Do wish me luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2010\/06\/underwater-lullaby\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to underwater lullaby\"><p>Hey when it rains, it rains!
