Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    I can’t get over how light it stays so late in Spokane. I just took this picture at 9:00 PM! As of 9:16 it’s still twilight. Craziness, I tell you! Of course in the winter here it gets dark at 4:00. And that sucks. But I don’t even want to think about that right now.

  • A jumpstart

    Dammit! I’m sick of letting this blog go. I love this blog. I don’t want it to fall into obscurity! So to give myself a jump start I am going to do a Meme that was posted on Cathi’s blog, even though she didn’t tag me :). Here it goes:

    The game is SCATTERGORIES, and it’s harder than it looks!

    Here are the rules:

    Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following. They MUST be real places, names, things…NOTHING made up! If you can’t think of anything, skip it. Try to use different answers if the person before you had the same 1st initial. You CAN’T use your name for the boy/girl name question. Have fun!

    Your Name: Moni

    1. Famous Singer/Band: Marilyn Manson

    2. 4 letter word: Moon

    3. Street: Monroe (it’s a street here in Spokane)

    4. Color: Maroon

    5. Gifts/Presents: Movie

    6. Vehicle: Motorcar

    7. Things in a Souvenir Shop: Magnets (dude. It took me FOREVER to think of that. Duh!)

    8. Boy Name: Melvin

    9. Girl Name: Mary

    10. Movie Title: (The) Matrix

    11. Drink: Margarita

    12. Occupation: Movie theater ticket taker.

    13. Celebrity: Marlon Brando

    14. Magazine:Ms

    15. U.S. City: Menlo Park, CA. (It took me forever to think of this one, too AND I LIVED THERE FOR FOUR YEARS)

    16. Pro Sports Teams: Totally can’t come up with anything. I don’t watch sports.

    18. Reason for Being Late for Work: late? I’m never late 😉
    19. Something You Throw Away: Magazines

    20. Things You Shout: Motherfucker!

    21. Cartoon Character: Mrs. Crabapple

    So there you go. I won’t tag anyone, but if you want to do it go for it!

  • For me? A Godsend

    June 12, 2007

    Have you downloaded the newest incarnation of the Firefox web browser? Among it’s many updates, there is a spell checker! Right there built into the browser! When you are typing something into a form (like I am doing right now) a red line will appear underneath words that are misspelled (it just happened when I typed “spellchecker” instead of “spell checker.”). How perfect is this for me? I’m the queen of misspellings. But no more! Yay!

    Paris Hilton in South Africa for 2010 World Cup

    I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I kind of feel sorry for Paris.

    Crying out for her mother when she was ordered back to jail, Paris Hilton‘s cool, glamorous image evaporated Friday as she gave the impression of a little girl lost in a merciless legal system.

    “It’s not right!” shouted the weeping Hilton. “Mom!” she called out to Kathy Hilton, who also was in tears.

    I don’t know. Does the judge have to be that harsh? Does she really deserve this harsh of a punishment? I mean, she’s not my favorite person in the world but c’mon.

    Beaver Bay

    Raf and I went to Farragut State Park in Northern Idaho today. It’s truly beautiful there. Today it was especially pretty because it was raining a bit and the fog was hanging on the tops of the mountains. And we had the whole place to ourselves.
