After more than a year of waiting for my very own PC at work (Every Librarian I was supposed to have one over a year ago), two weeks of it not working partially or entirely, two in-person visits and numerous remote fixing attempts by our computer staff, it finally worked yesterday.
That same day we had leaks again at work over some tech equipment. Amazingly, not over my new PC. Yes, I was in charge.
Season 2 of Torchwood started on BBCAmerica last Saturday. I've linked to Wikipedia because those bloody Brits have their link closed to non-UK people for rights reasons--and no link to an alternate site. It's a great combination of science fiction, amazing character interactions and, well, sexual innuendo galore. Not to mention Capt. Jack Harkness is totally hot.
I've applied to attend the Maryland Library Leadership Institute this summer. Gah, it was like applying to college again--six mini-essays and three recommendations. Even if I don't get in, writing out my accomplishments and what inspires me in detail was good for me, and reading the recommendations was wonderful for my self-esteem!
Still dragging our heels on adoption paperwork except that we both now have our physicals done. You'll be glad to hear neither of us have TB, our EKGs were normal and we have our diphtheria/tetanus/whooping cough shots. The psych evals come later (you think I'm kidding?)
Ken & I caught an hourlong special on The Mutter Museum on TV this morning (this is our idea of quality bonding time). Mom & Dad C, we're thinking we could all go the day after Easter for a visit. I am not kidding (Mom and Dad J. breathe a sigh of relief that they aren't being asked--yet.)
I'm going to Anime Boston in March--attending and staying with one of my anime friends and hoping to meet another one. Need to make my Amtrak reservations and haunt Goodwill for shirts to cosplay Hikaru from Hikaru no Go--the kid in front with the blond bangs. (on the right in the ancient Japanese court costume). Yes, I'm going to pretend I'm a 12 year old boy.
Going to have lunch and do laundry soon and hit Goodwill for a yellow T-shirt...

You know, we've not been to the Mutter Museum. And I'm not sure if Sue would go with me, now that I think of it. But I should go next time we're back home!!
