the pop culture conference is just a few weeks away and so i have finally begun assembling my presentation.
it is bringing back nice memories of frequent outbursts of laughter in our cataloging office during that project, especially last spring when the items in the collection took particularly weird turns on a daily basis.
i'm happy to continue sharing these things with a small pocket of the world this month.



in other news, my mom adopted a 9-year-old dog today.
she said that when his ears flop behind his head, he looks like dobby the house elf.

i tried removing his red eye with photo editing software, but it made him look like he had no soul or pupils. rock on, pup.
