Merry Christmas!!!

It Happened Again

I was listening to the radio on the way to a Christmas Tea when suddenly I heard a familiar sound. I turned up the volume and listened to each voice carefully. There was no doubt... it had to be the Backstreet Boys. That was AJ's scratchy voice, then Nick's nasally (not in a bad way, I just don't know how else to describe it), then Brian's smooth one, and finally Howie's sweet voice. (No Kevin because he left the group.) They sounded older but I could still recognize them. I made sure to memorize some lyrics so that I could look up the song on the Internet, like "house of cards." Fortunately, when the song was over, the radio announcer came on to say it was a new song, "Helpless When She Smiles" by the Backstreet Boys. Whoo hoo!!!! A new CD, yippee! Yes, I know I am quite talented. You are all so impressed by BSB detector.

Oh, and my interview went well today. I sort of fumbled the last question. It was one of those darn recall questions (describe a time when you had a leadership role... ). I can never remember "a time when" except like three hours later. *sigh* This time I would have talked about how I organized and coordinated the Katrina Relief team from SJSU. Instead I mumbled something about coordinating MPE. I totally lost my train of thought by the end of my answer. Horrible horrible. The rest of it, I think I handled well.

What Doesn't Work and What is just darn tootin' Swell

Allowing a massive graveyard of ants to collect on your sink does not keep new ants from visiting. Grrrr......

I got the Reference/Instruction Internship at the SJSU King Library - "WHOO HOOO!!!!!!!" doesn't say enough.

And for good measure, I thought I would attach a fun picture Shane scanned onto his computer.

That is me, Karen, and Shane in my dad's 1965 Mustang. My guess is this is 1994 or so.
