so, i said i’d post something crafty, but i didn’t say it had to be something i’d made recently, right?\u00c2\u00a0 here’s an apron that i made a loooong time ago.\u00c2\u00a0 the design was created using a hand-cut freezer paper stencil.\u00c2\u00a0 i think i thought i could make more than one print using the same paper, but … not so much.\u00c2\u00a0 even if i’d cut more than one copy, the paper gets so curly that it’s hard to work with.\u00c2\u00a0 thanks, “n” for letting me photograph you in the garden!<\/p>\n
on a completely different note, tonight in my class (i’m working towards my masters of library science and currently i’m taking an entry-level cataloging class) i was amused by two things —<\/p>\n
1.\u00c2\u00a0 that catalogers (or someone anyway) has come up with a label (“field terminator”) for something in a marc record that is pretty much invisible.\u00c2\u00a0 yep.\u00c2\u00a0 they even label things that aren’t there.<\/p>\n
2.\u00c2\u00a0 the word “aboutness” and the fact that apparently it’s a real word that people in my profession actually use when talking about determining subject headings.<\/p>\n
yes, the class is dry, and yes, this is the humor, folks.\u00c2\u00a0 actually, the professor for this particular class is quite funny and i appreciate his efforts to inject levity into this subject.\u00c2\u00a0 the two things stated above were things i found funny on my own.\u00c2\u00a0 he also pointed out that in the a certain “table of pattern heading examples” there are two categories of animals–fishes and cattle.\u00c2\u00a0 and a wildebeest is a fishes.\u00c2\u00a0 love the logic.<\/p>\n
(in case you’re curious, apparently, it has to do with wild v. domestic, but for some reason, it was too easy to just say “wild” and “domestic.”\u00c2\u00a0 i sort of like the mental picture that fishes and cattle paints anyway.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
