I should be sleeping

My sleeping pattern has been off since the weekend. Driving home from seeing The Tragically Hip in Lancaster Sunday night at the end of a LONG weekend was a bit of a nightmare. I drove hundreds of miles last weekend. Here to Northern NJ to Selkirk, NY (just south of Albany) to Easton PA to Bethelehem to Kutztown to Lancaster and it was only getting back into Philly - where I live - that I got lost. A 90 minute drive turned into a 150 minute drive which meant I got home Sunday night after 1 am. So here it is, only 12:13 am and I'm up and typing away. I think I have trouble falling asleep also b/c of the warm temperature in my apt. I cannot control the temperature, which means that HEAT is still blowing through the vents. Tomorrow apparently is the day that my landlord realizes that it's almost May and that heat is no longer necessary. Thank the smart landlord!

I'm excited for DC this weekend. NCADP Board Meeting Saturday morning and then some play time the rest of Saturday and Sunday and then work from the NCADP office Monady and Tuesday. I ran for about 30 minutes today. The combination of expanding belly and diminishing muscles has become a serious concern and reality and I need to giddy up and take care of my body. I became a full-fledged veggie last week, and with only a couple of minor slip-ups - ate some shrimp cocktail b/c I was starving and it was offered and b/c I totally blanked that shrimp are animals - I'm coming into my very vegetarian own. I need to read more about maintaining a health diet w/o meat, which might be an oxymoron, but I'd hate to give up meat and replace with potato chips b/c I'm not filling up enough at meals.

This is my first post on the LIBRARY OF NOBLENESS blog (big shout out to Jonathan Kammer and Shannon Perlotto for calling me on my earlier blog name - Lots of Libraries - and offering this blog name as a replacement) that hasn't been largely or littlely about libraries...I'm reminded of a scene from Private Parts. Howard is supposed to say the time and weather every 15 minutes. Howard obliges but says it as such a non-sequitor during bits. He'll be doing something on let's say lesbian sex - his favorite topic - and then just throw in really quickly 7:45am 69 degrees. This only further incenses Pig Vomit. btw, nice early role for Paul Giamatti.

So my time/weather correlary to libraries...

books, knowledge, card catalogue

out!
