Month: February 2010

So as you probably may have heard HuCon happened this week, which meant a fair bit of prep work, and a LOT of exhaustion after the fact. This weekend, I've been a bit less than productive, though I've already done my class readings. My RA work is going along at a snail's pace partially because… Continue reading Brief update…

Apparently I've jumped into some more social media fun (craziness). You may already know that I'm on some other sites (like oh, foursquare, twitter, facebook etc.), but I'm adoring answering formspring.me questions [at least I do when that site isn't broken]. Ask me whatever you want, really! But that aside, I joined Empire Avenue today… Continue reading Quick social media post! 🙂

So this weekend: rather unproductive in general (this seems to be a trend), but I did get a few minor things accomplished: 1. I made a weekend to-do list. If all goes as planned I'll have accomplished more than half of the immediately urgent important things on the list along with most of the life-balance… Continue reading Brief post before essay writing (yes I wanna write two papers before I sleep… We'll see how I do!)

So apparently Reading Week has come and gone and I have accomplished no more, really, than I had before. My room is a bit cleaner, DCON has come and gone (and I have two more conferences on my plate in planning capacity in the coming months), and the workshop I was to have given last… Continue reading Reading week, what reading week?

Instead of answering just any meme, ask me anything here: http://formspring.me/KiraAli (yes, I've jumped on the bandwagon! I blame two individuals whose names conveniently start with the letter 'J').

Just a brief note: I'm really enjoying myself as of late (I'm VERY busy with everything from data entry to conference planning to classes, to work, to fun, YES fun!). Monday night's SLIS board games were extra awesome. I lost at Clue, I lost at Killer Bunnies, and I did reasonably well at Bananagrams. Edmonton… Continue reading Pirates and lectures and busy-ness… all in a few days of a SLIS grad student

So with FIP come and gone (it was a most excellent conference and gives me much hope for next year's edition), I've come to realize that I really really ought to make some decisions/plans regarding this upcoming year's conferences/conventions and whatnot. There's a lot to consider, even as I slowly grapple with the everyday. So… Continue reading Conferences and conventions oh my!

This weekend, I watched XIII: The Conspiracy with J.D. and totally found it both suspenseful and entertaining. Perhaps one day I should actually watch the Bourne movies as there seems to be a fair bit of similarity to the Bourne Identity from what I understand. I've been watching a lot of dystopian movies lately. I… Continue reading Another less-productive-than-I'd-like-to-be weekend, but I'm making progress and having a great time
