I just finished Leigh Bardugo’s Siege and Storm and I’m so glad I’ve got the next one ready to go tonight. I’m not saying I’m going to stay up all night reading it, but I’m not saying I’m NOT going to stay up all night reading it. 📚
Finished reading: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo 📚
Teared up watching @levarburton’s cameos for other people. “It’s over. It’s done. You defended the damn thing…” But don’t take my word for it.
So I’m reading my dissertation and I think it’s… Good? Like it was written by somebody who knows what they’re talking about? I take this as evidence that I know what I’m talking about. 📝
About to start reading and marking up this thing in preparation for next week’s defense, at which I will boldly go where (to my knowledge) no Hirsh has gone before. 📝
Honored today to deliver a pre-recorded guest lecture on Reader’s Advisory for Dr. Megan Threats’s Reference Sources & Services class. I made the lecture & related links available on a RA page on my website. Pretty sure I could teach a full semester on this topic. 📚
I really miss the internet of 2004 - 2007, specifically the DIY/New Domesticity craft punk blog & forum corner of it. I think my soul is a little bit stuck there. There was never enough time to explore all its interesting corners. 🌎
I have now met all my pre-defense scholarly obligations (paper draft & guest lecture) so I guess it’s time to prepare for my defense. googles makeup tutorials 📝
🔖 I somehow missed Linda Holmes’s beautiful piece about The Muppet Movie soundtrack. She pulls out the very lines that always makes me cry. 🌈🐸🎵
True story, my dissertation includes the statement, “I was wrong.” 📝
